What's New?

Well, it has been a busy couple of weeks -- I now have my laundry room, daughter's room, son's room, kitchen, and most of my dining room painted (including the trim -- or most of it, anyway). My mama is busy painting doors, windows and baseboards for me while I am busy climbing up and down the latter and rolling all of the walls. It is coming along... Meanwhile, my husband is busy laying tile, so my laundry room is completely finished (paint, trim, and tile), the kid's bathroom has finished tile and I plan to paint that this week so it will be done and ready for cabinets, my shower is well underway, and tomorrow my 1/2 bath and master tub top will be tiled. We are trying to get everything done for our cabinets to be installed in about a week or so. It is SO exicting to see it all coming together now; I am really eager to see the kitchen cabinets and countertops because that and my walk-in shower are my 2 favorite things in the house.

On top of working at the house in the heat and humidity all day long, I have started filling in at a restaurant waiting tables to earn some extra money. I haven't waited tables in years, but I definitely enjoy this place so much more than the last one I worked at!!!! It is a lot less stressful and a lot more fun! I worked at a country club before so everything had to be just right and it was all very formal. I like being able to just be myself, to know a lot of the people I am serving, and to not have the manager correcting every little thing (like the fact that you put the plate down from the wrong side of the customer or that you refilled the cup on the wrong side). Here it is really laid back and fun. I hope he lets me stay on and work even more!

I am sore, aching, tired, cramped, swollen, and hurting and I am loving every minute of it!!!!!!!
