Ambitions

Ambitious is what I was yesterday. It of course did nlt happen quite the way I expected. I finished the mirror but didn't get it up on the wall since the wall need a couple of coats of clear coat... that got done. The doors to the vanity got their second coat of paint and I even got the hinges on them and now the cabinet looks slightly more finished. I got a plan for the living room finally after waffling on the couch situation for the last two weeks. We decided the red couch would clash with the red floor and that the sectional would really reduce the room we had. So we picked out a blue couch instead that could do double duty as a bed when company comes. Meanwhile the shelves that I thought were for the Christmas village don't fit so I've decided to have one more look in the shed and if I can't find them I will do something else.

Today is my shopping day with Daughter #1. I'm looking forward to it. We have begun a new tradition... well that was an oxymoron..... we started the tradition about three years ago when they outgrew toys for their birthdays. I take them out of school for a day of shopping and we have lunch and do a real mom and daughter thing. It is usually a lot of fun and they get to miss a day of school .... we are leaving in about 15 minutes (so I had better finish this quick). While shopping today I am going to buy our artificial tree....

When Hubby and I moved to this log house we decided that would only use freshly cut trees and take the girls to go and cut it.... it means leaving the tree till the last minute... Last year was the ultimate fiasco.... I swore I would never go kill a live tree again. I swore I would buy an artificial tree and that would be that. So yesterday I did some internet shopping and found a tree that will suit our need. Small house = small tree.... or least a skinny tree and that is hard to find. So I am scouting for an artificial tree. I think I found the right one. Tomorrow will be the tree decorating..... which will be the only thing that looks sensible in the living room.... hardy har har....

Ok Hubby is out of the shower and I have to dry my hair yet... I'm off... wish me luck.
