Sooooooo we've been in the new house for two weeks now. Triumphs: new garage roof, new washer and dryer, tuck-pointed porch (mostly) and LOTS of garbage removal and demolition. We are now choosing a color scheme for the upstairs bathroom, which also means choosing tile for the floor, shower floor, shower walls, etc. I find this stressful! It is just hard to envision exactly what I hope it will look like when it is finished. I know it is not a big deal in the scheme of things, but you people know me better than anyone and know that making decisions is hard for me. I am excited about the bathroom overall. We've designed the floor plan and will have a nice big walk-in shower and a dual vanity.
Work is stressful too. I have a big event in Seattle next week and will be traveling with the dean of the school of business. Lots 'o pressure for everything to go smoothly. I am mostly just looking forward to it being over.
This is kind of whiny for a first entry, but what can I say, that is what I have going on right now! I am very, very, very happy to be in our house. It turns out I am a lot more forgiving of things that aren't perfect about it because it is MINE!
Mara, this was a great idea. I've made it a personal goal to post a little something at least once a week.
Love to all of you!
Amanda, thanks for posting so soon! It's so good to know what's happening in your life, be it good, bad, or ugly. And your title is hilarious. I hope the bathroom design won't kill you! It's hard to decide when something is supposed to be semi-forever. It's good to be particular.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that I finally just did sat down and did this thing, and I'm really excited about it, especially since you posted right away, and everyone has signed up to co-author the blog. I'm really looking forward to hearing from everyone.
Much love,
Mara
This is not how our name was supposed to look, but here we are and I can't figure out how to change it(MOM).
ReplyDeleteIt was really fun talking to Mara, Kilian and Vincent on Skype today. We sure do miss them! We especially liked the "poop" song--you can't have too many songs about poop.
ReplyDeleteOh I gotta hear this poop song!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can do a poop song recording session this afternoon. It's sure to be an instant classic!
ReplyDeleteI am really glad, we have this blog now!
