Actually, I'm trying to deal with the cold weather and stay sane......
It's fixin' to turn cold here again, too. It's not been bad the past couple of days.
Yay! It's Friday! I've got to pack up the stuff in the living room and dining room so we can move the furniture - the flooring project begins Monday. We're replacing the hideous old carpet with beautiful new Brazilian Walnut. Although the rosewood is beautiful, after bringing a sample home it became apparent that it was too pink to look good with our existiing furniture. Buying new furniture is out of the question - we had just bought a new dining room set when we moved into the house. When the floor is done, I'll take a digital photo of it before we move the furnture back in.
