Bahhhhh

1. This is the second week of the semester. One paper written. One quiz taken. Two assigments done. Six chapters read.

2. We reinstalled the porch swing last night. I finally repainted it with a color very close the new trim color for the exterior, a creamy color with green undertones.

3. The baby fish are getting bigger! Most of them have their colors now but some are still black. They were zooming around the pond last night while I was cleaning the pond pump.

4. Makenna's first birthday party is this weekend. I bought the burgers last weekend but still need to take an inventory of the party supplies that I need to buy. And clean the house.

5. Got an update from the painter, now he talking mid to late September. Whawhawha, I should have specified a date in the contract. It isn't a big deal but I would like to get it over with so I can stop second guessing myself.

6. I've been loving me some pinterest lately. It started out as a way to find yummy recipes (like last nights) but I can also use it for wardobe, organizational and decor inspiration.

7. I'm thinking about painting the foyer. I'm wondering if I can find a grey that plays well with the woodwork...yes, I am in love with grey. I'm also wordering how much work taking down the wallpaper will be..eeek. It should be noted that I'm driving Brent crazy with all my projects and he isn't even the one doing them.

8. I finish resealing the metalwork for the gable and the mailbox, this time with products designed for the exterior..

9. I also fixed the fence panels which had popped off the vertical 4x4s when the tree dropped a huge branch on it. We have a "special day" with a tree removal service towards the end of September.  Last night Brent cut down the dead branches on the red bud, they were wayyyy dead.
