Coming together....

This week has been a busy one at that Landauer's. John and I went out 2 times in one week. We're pretty sure that has to be a record. We went to the Alanis Morrisette/Matchbox 20 concert at the Qwest center on Tuesday night. While they were both excellent performers, I have a special place in my heart for the forelorn and angry songs of Alanis that I sang along with in highschool and early college. It was incredible, and when I heard "One Hand in My Pocket" I was in heaven. Friday we went to the Mary Our Queen fish fry with some good friends. It's one of me and John's favorite times of the year for sure. Only a 2 hour and 45 minute wait standing in line waiting for some tasty fish...it's been worse in years past!

But, alas our fun takes a new turn this week as we closed on our house on Thursday and are making preparations to move in. The drywall guys were out fixing some screwy walls and ceilings and now it's time to PAINT!

My good friends Erica and Libby went with me to pick out some accessories and paint colors today. It's a good thing that I have friends that were interior decorators in another life! It was a lot of fun after I got over the initial shock of actually spending money on things like rugs and curtains. Usually, I really can't do it, but with the help of my friends we picked out some beautiful things and I am really happy with what we found.

This week we clean and tape and take down wallpaper getting ready for our painting party next Saturday. It should be fun and productive. I tried to attach some pictures of some of the fun stuff we picked out, but couldn't find any on-line pics, darnit anyway! Julia is getting excited to move. Every time we get in the car she says, "Are we going to go live at the yellow house, now?" Not yet honey....

Have a great day!
