Spring Break, Zumba, and Lists...

Wow, it has been 10 days since my last post..  What have I been doing?  I really want to know...  It does not seem like much..  The kids are on Spring Break so I guess I have been on one too..  :O)  I have cleaned my house ( well, the kids have been helping more than usual which I think we will keep it that way!) several times..  Made a trip to the DI and gotten rid of LOTS.  Spent time with the family and read a whole book...  :O)  I also was in a 5K this month  and have been exercising my butt off...  I LOVE ZUMBA!!  No, really I do..  I HATE running but after doing Zumba for awhile now running it a lot easier..  I am getting ready to be in another 5K in May and one in June.. 

Are you a list person?  I am..  I like to see what I have to get done and cross it off when said task IS done..  I just sat down to make my new list of projects/tasks to complete and it is a lot longer than I thought it would be.  Boy, I better get going on it fast..  I have made a dead line for completion by July 1st since there are some MAJOR projects on the list...  Like a new roof! Not looking forward to that one but it needs to be done!!  I am also hoping to paint the house and the eves..  I am ready for a change..  So I hope the dead line will work in our favor..  Keep your fingers crossed that it does.. 

Now, I am off to try and get something done so I can cross it off the list..  :O)  Wish me luck!  :O)

And as always, Have a great weekend!!  :O)

Living Room update...

                                       I have been working hard the last couple days and this is the result of my hard labor...  Sorry the pics are not great...  My camera broke and I needed a replacement quickly.  I will have to wait on getting the camera I really want a bit longer..  :O(

 This is what my living room looked like awhile back.  It was kind of a Tuscan feel.  And I loved it.  The color on the walls was from Walmart called Riverroad by Kilz.  It matched some of the thread that was in the pillows on my couch and loveseat.  But here is the Living room now.  Same corner/ front door pic.

 I am planning on painting the door.  The front/out side  of the door is black and so will the inside of the door be black too.  Very soon.  Ignore the wing back chair..  Still need to get that slipcover done.

 Now everything is not in its rightful place...  I was just so tired  of everything in the middle of the room.  So I moved it all around for now..  You can see in this pic the way we framed the window.  It helped so much with the board and batten.

 Again, ignore the other wing back chair... And all my paint supplies on the table..

 And yes, that is my china cabinet still floating in the middle of the room. I want to paint it and move it to a different spot so there it sits...  For now...

 I am planning something new for this wall that used to house the china cabinet.

Here is how we had the board and batten meet the floor.  Again, so sorry for the horrible pics...  Yuck!!
But I do like the way the b&b meets the new hard wood floor.  It looks so pretty in real life...  I better get that new camera soon so I will enjoy my pictures better..  Or figure out what is going on with this little camera first..  I like the first choice better..  :O)  Now to see if the hubs will agree..  Probably not..  :O)

It is now time to go couch shopping...  I know what I want but it is always a struggle to get the hubs on board.  But, when I get my way he always likes it in the end..  :O)  Yeah me!!

Hope you all have a great week...  Hope you weather is nicer than ours..  Saturday was 74 degrees and then we woke up to 6 inches of snow on Sunday...  It has been cold ever since...  Not liking it at all...  :O(

What's happening!!

Not much here..  Still working on the B&B in the living room.  Almost done.  I have been under the weather for the last 2 weeks and so it had been slow going around here.  I did do a 5K on Saturday.  That was fun but I came home to 2 sick kids..  Not fun!!

I will post soon on the completion of the B&B.  Have a great week...  And here's to hoping I start feeling better very soon...  :O)
