Why they make the choices that they do and how everything they do is supposed to be done for the best interest of the family?  I didn’t.  Really, I didn’t.  I trusted my husband when he stood up and made his vows. I believed him on the rare occasions he told me that he loved me. I didn’t question his walks or working late because I didn’t think I was “one of those women”. Unfortunately I found out I was and my life is not going to be the same.</p> <p>It has taken me a long time not to be the angry and bitter wife, finding out about the almost year long affair, the sneaking around and now, ultimately, the disillusion of the marriage and loss of my home. I have prayed, cried, yelled, found a support system that could only be from God and cried and yelled some more. I have gone through temporary orders, final orders and am in the process of packing my house to leave the place that through blood, sweat and tears we turned into OUR house.  I have posted pictures on this blog of construction, vacations, friends and family and all that was thrown away with “I deserve to be happy” and a lot of excuses and denial to only end up with…”I never loved you unconditionally” and HE became more important than the WE.  </p> <p>I refused to use this blog for MONTHS for fear of what would come from the tips of my fingers and would cause damage, not only to myself but to the grandchildren (and those still to come) and I think that the Lord knew what he was doing when he helped me make that choice.  </p> <p>I still have new things happening, new memories to record, new stories to tell and things to share.  I have new connections to make, new friends and new challenges. This is my new normal.</p> <p>Is it easy? Nope.  Is it what I wanted when I put on the big dress and walked down the isle? Nope.  Am I stronger because of it? Absolutely.</p> <p>I am back now, and this is my new life.</p> Trachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362354543958397281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058067340162323930.post-20984854895696227262011-08-25T13:29:00.001-07:002011-08-25T13:29:32.105-07:00More Disney<p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-THKSSb2NXuQ/TlawdyukzUI/AAAAAAAAB1U/OqxnvqJUscU/s1600-h/Aladdin%252520%252526%252520Jasmine%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

Schneider and Yin who made templates so there is some sort of a consistent feel.  Soon I will add links to all of my Disney pages so that you will get the complete credits however I am finally updating my online gallery with that information.  I can’t wait to share that with you…these women are SOOO very talented and they deserve all my thanks and more.</p> <p>As you will see…I have been busy (of course my house isn’t clean but hubby hasn’t said anything yet LOL)  Also if you see something repeated, it is probably because I tweaked or fixed it.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-oOTTBjpvAw0/ThQFfgdgh9I/AAAAAAAABxY/swyj3ZQzeqY/s1600-h/Downtown%252520Disney%2525201%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

I won’t go through and update every little thing, but believe me, things have been BUSY here. Despite being busy I have managed to keep track of our life and it is due primarily to two WebPages/programs that have been my primary sanity and I am very thankful for those developers who decided how to keep my brain in order. The first is <a href="http://www.cozi.com">www.cozi.com</a>. Cozi is an online site that gathers together a family’s calendars, to do lists, shopping lists, etc and puts them into one place accessible on any computer, ipad, phone, etc. It also syncs with my Microsoft Outlook so I only have to put something in one place and it shows up everywhere. This has made life nice when I forgot my grocery list at home and was able to access it on my ipod touch. The other site is <a href="http://www.ohlife.com">www.ohlife.com</a>. Once you sign up it automatically sends you an email at 8pm asking you simply, “how was your day”. All you have to do is send an email reply and your life is documented. The best part in my book is that you can go back and read all your entries, take your journaling and blog or scrap your life. And those things you don’t want to share? Well OhLife is accessible only to you!!</p> <p>July was FULL of birthdays and is our busiest birthday month of the year. We have:</p> <p>Josh 7/6 – I have a hard time believing my baby is 20 now.</p> <p>Youngest Sister 7/11, Mother in Law 7/15, Brother in law 7/25, Another sister 7/26</p> <p>Twins 7/28 – 23.  Thank God I can say while I love them both as if they were my very own, I don’t want to have 23 year old sons.  </p> <p>Plus all of the renovations. </p> <p>To make things simple, here are the before and after photos</p> <p>Living room: Before/After</p> <p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/THktTAPlr6I/AAAAAAAABjg/J8aI5J9ohWQ/s1600-h/IMG_3202%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;

I don’t think I scrapped a single page…and if it didn’t have anything to do with a major event, I probably didn’t take a picture of it.</p> <p>August was a little better (and since we are almost done, I have no problem discussing it in past tense). We moved on to a different renovation project and turned our attention to the upstairs loft area. Not surprisingly, our loft was unusable for the family since it was originally my over stuffed craft room. We moved things into my office but never completed the room. Now we are in the process of painting, stretching the carpets and working at making it a family-livable space.</p> <p>One of my nephews celebrated his birthday and my sister was smart by not having 2 dozen children plus their parents in her house. We celebrated at Inflatable Zone and boy did they have fun, especially Ben. He is the favorite of his cousins and he didn’t have a chance to take a break with them chasing him all over the room.</p> <p>Speaking of Ben he has been extraordinarily busy, and back to killing my food budget. Marching band practice started at the beginning of August and those poor kids were out in the Texas heat from 5 – 9 pm every week day. Some of those practices were held with the heat index of 104. Made me glad for air conditioning. His band march off and BBQ was on 8/20 and I was not impressed with the drum major. Ben would have gone farther into the competition if the DM hadn’t made the contest all about simon-says type mind games and not actual marching. Either way, the food was good, Ben had fun and he and Lyndsay (his g/f) got to spend a lot of time together.</p> <p>Last night was Ben’s first game and they did really well.  I was impressed that I actually got pictures.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/THktc2vBxKI/AAAAAAAABlw/-IMEdkdFPOk/s1600-h/IMG_3831%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3831" border="0" alt="IMG_3831" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/THktdMNL4mI/AAAAAAAABl0/NIQPW1KNFfA/IMG_3831_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="271" /></a> </p> <p>Last thing I am gonna touch on is construction and termites. If you remember, this entire remodeling project was caused BECAUSE of termites and while we are still having issues with our contractor and getting things done right, we have termites again. The nasty little buggers are eating my front door. The Terminex guy had to take a picture because this was only the second time in 23 years he had ever seen that. So on top of our messed up renovations (the columns have a gouge in them that is going to have to be rebuilt, the fireplace has a number of places on it where it looks like they took a ball peen hammer to it, and the crown molding doesn’t match in a few places and looks horrible) we will have to replace our front door and possibly drywall in the dining room. I am just glad that we hadn’t done any remodeling in there yet.</p> Trachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362354543958397281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058067340162323930.post-53927220122852679592010-06-23T09:49:00.001-07:002010-06-23T09:49:43.856-07:00Other Stuff<p>Since not having the computer, other really great stuff has happened besides the renovations and I want to share.</p> <p>Most notably, Jared, Wayne’s youngest, graduated from high school and was formally accepted at University of Louisiana Monroe to chase his meteorology degree.  It was a great (but very long) ceremony.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/TCI6BHSrF0I/AAAAAAAABgo/OI_vMTqRJ7U/s1600-h/IMG_3601%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;

Not a happy death either but a "let's crash everyday for a week then finally get around to trying to fix it" died. It took with it my Photoshop, my Outlook, my latest school paper that was due yesterday and my calendar. Thankfully most everything else was moved to the external hard drive. You would think the college educated woman would be saving the paper that was due on an ehd as she was going wouldn't you? That would have been too easy, and much too smart. GRRRRR<div><br /></div><div>This morning I am working my way through 600+ emails (7 days worth), resetting up some of my programs and rewriting a paper. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">*Hubby just called and he found my old mail and calendar, Thank God!! I was hoping he would rewrite my paper for me as well but no such luck. </span>Downstairs the construction effort has started up again after a very quiet 3-day weekend where we could sleep late and have the house to ourselves - ahh bliss. I will be so glad when it is done.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh yeah, the kitten is gone :( He was adorable and I loved him BUT I was getting tired of cleaning up kitten poops wherever he wanted to go, including the middle of my bed. He really was too little to be away from his mommy so I sent him back with Josh to where he came from. His mom ran away from him and his siblings but there is another mom who is letting them nurse and teaching them how to be cats. This works for me. I did get a number of really cute pictures from before he left which I will post when I get my machine back.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><br /></span></div>Trachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362354543958397281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058067340162323930.post-57113306904694332062010-05-28T08:15:00.001-07:002010-05-28T08:45:43.135-07:00Weekly Wrap-Up<p>Do you remember a time or situation when things got so heavy that you just couldn’t think about it – or even talk about it one more time? That is how I have been looking at this renovation this week – especially with all of the errors, time issues and drama.</p> <p>First there have been the issues with the schedule and as of today we are a week overdue and counting. The original contract stated 3 weeks plus touch-up and today makes the end of week four and as it stands now it is unlikely that this will be done by NEXT Friday. It may take even longer than that. It is really frustrating.</p> <p>Then the columns and pony walls were wrong and had to be fixed. Last Friday, John came into the house and immediately noticed a major issue with the columns not being centered either at the top or bottom. Carmen, Eli and John came up with a plan of attack after Eli complained bitterly that the problem stemmed from an error in dry walling. Their solution was to add drywall to make the wall wider in order to center the column – WHAT?????</p> <p>So Wayne comes home – you have heard about Wayne, right? The completely anal engineer who believes there is ONE way to do something…the right way? Anyway he comes home and I tell him about the issue as if he hadn’t noticed and he tells me that he saw it Thursday night and was just waiting to see if the contractors did anything about it without him saying anything first. He pulls out the six-foot level, multiple tape measures, laser level and proceeds to take multiple photos to email to John to support his position that the framing was wrong, that the measurements that were right weren’t even followed and adding almost an inch of drywall was NOT an actual option. It is good to know that I wasn’t the only one who thought that was a really stupid idea.</p> <p>Nothing lined up</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dtYqh3xI/AAAAAAAABcI/njvL4tvRA5s/s1600-h/IMG_3476%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3476" border="0" alt="IMG_3476" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dtzLCQ7I/AAAAAAAABcM/3ydcBQN558E/IMG_3476_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="214" height="319" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__duWDMVCI/AAAAAAAABcQ/y6h5Wd1J2Y8/s1600-h/IMG_3479%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3479" border="0" alt="IMG_3479" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__du8hb8rI/AAAAAAAABcU/hKelTpDkn_g/IMG_3479_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="214" height="319" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dvV5ulyI/AAAAAAAABcY/1CpS1583xcE/s1600-h/IMG_3480%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3480" border="0" alt="IMG_3480" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dv-jQvlI/AAAAAAAABcc/R3Y7rr4lRi0/IMG_3480_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="214" height="319" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dwTRsQnI/AAAAAAAABcg/gQcIseV8-e8/s1600-h/IMG_3481%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3481" border="0" alt="IMG_3481" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dw0XzpXI/AAAAAAAABck/u046JnfAJqA/IMG_3481_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="214" height="319" /></a> </p> <p>Nothing was even the same width</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dxWmZKKI/AAAAAAAABco/tprq1isqPg4/s1600-h/IMG_3493%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3493" border="0" alt="IMG_3493" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dx577QeI/AAAAAAAABcs/M_T5DwKgGG8/IMG_3493_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dyZZz-pI/AAAAAAAABcw/69iruFglTC4/s1600-h/IMG_3495%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3495" border="0" alt="IMG_3495" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dy4-X41I/AAAAAAAABc0/uSLpKwDrs0o/IMG_3495_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> </p> <p>While he was in this mood, Wayne decided to climb the scaffolding and clean the ceiling fan since it was painted on and not cleaned well.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dzbiMImI/AAAAAAAABc4/vcL7xEpBm04/s1600-h/IMG_3505%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3505" border="0" alt="IMG_3505" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__dzhBGELI/AAAAAAAABc8/oordINdJSlY/IMG_3505_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a></p> <p>John came over the following Mon day morning, pretty early, and he and Wayne conference called before Wayne’s first meeting and Wayne, John and Carmen agreed that Eli would have to take the columns out, center them as they should have been AFTER taking out the pony wall closest to the back door and making sure that they are both the same width and on the same plane. Notice I said they all agreed…seems that Eli didn’t agree. He didn’t show up until Tuesday afternoon and he did only part of the job. The columns are now centered on the existing wall but since he never actually took down the pony wall that part didn’t get done correctly. I have told both Wayne and John that it didn’t get done but apparently it falls under the “it looks ok so file it in the done column even though it isn’t”. So Eli “finishes” the trim and calls the job done – AGAIN.</p> <p>Of course on Wednesday morning we realize that he didn’t listen AGAIN and there is another screw up. Carmen and I talk every morning, even just for a few minutes, so that he and I are on the same page with painting or whatever is being done that day and he informs me that the top of the trim at the arch is paint-grade instead of stain-grade wood and he was told by Eli that he is supposed to paint it white. He is pretty sure that is wrong since Eli, Carmen and I were all talking together and I was saying that I wanted all of the drywall painted and all of the wood stained. Really, I stay at home during this entire thing and it would have killed Eli to check with me if he wasn’t sure??? So Carmen stains the top piece which really is just plywood in pretty rough condition so that I can see what it looks like and he could always prime it and paint it if required. Well, it looks like crap. There is a wood patch at one end that stands up and just looks horrible. John came in and Carmen warned him that I wasn’t happy even before he talked to me so he was ready for my comments right away. Now neither of us is happy with the work and Eli is going to have to come back and fix it again. Notice the recurring theme?</p> <p>Oh, and during all of this drama someone taped the plastic in the kitchen to the ceiling with masking tape which peeled off the paint which is now added to the list of things to do before they can leave my house. Since I no longer have the paint from the builder they can’t just spot paint the ceiling so they have to do the whole thing in white. Add at least another few hours for that to happen, plus all of the covering of cabinets, appliances and seating. GRRRR. Needless to say, when John left he looked really mad. Mad to the point that I thought I had done something particularly stupid so I called Wayne to ask him to call John and make sure he was ok. Since it was late, they didn’t talk until Thursday (way-to-early) morning but they had a good conversation. According to John we are actually one of his most reasonable customers (ARE YOU SERIOUS) and he is just upset with Eli and the amount of time the job is taking.</p> <p>While all of this was happening, Carmen was also busy. He has stained the fireplace which looks awesome by the way, stained the newly fixed columns, textured all of the wall surfaces and painted a lot of trim.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d0jjzbNI/AAAAAAAABdA/D3twiamqs68/s1600-h/IMG_3524%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3524" border="0" alt="IMG_3524" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d07i5n9I/AAAAAAAABdE/6XnszlMt92g/IMG_3524_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="304" height="454" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d1RNMSaI/AAAAAAAABdI/aNPjKvkRtyo/s1600-h/IMG_3531%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3531" border="0" alt="IMG_3531" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d16QX9wI/AAAAAAAABdM/tTXFoWOLJ58/IMG_3531_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> </p> <p>Today the tile guy is supposed to be here to get the fireplace surround done but I have no idea what else is on the schedule.</p> <p>In other news, last Friday my parents came over around 4pm so that we could head to George Bush Park for mudbugs, BBQ, and beer. YUMMY!! Our church held their second annual crawfish boil and we had three times the number of people this year as last. The Women’s Ministry provided the desserts and I had to do double duty as a floater and an eater. I excelled at one more than another though. Our music ministry leaders each put on a mini-concert and we really all had a lot of fun.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d2jMltII/AAAAAAAABdQ/QsECBKjq0Qc/s1600-h/IMG_3475%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3475" border="0" alt="IMG_3475" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d3MjmzyI/AAAAAAAABdU/1wK6W0kdOWI/IMG_3475_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d4iS2tgI/AAAAAAAABdY/g4fY6rUFrpM/s1600-h/IMG_3466%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3466" border="0" alt="IMG_3466" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d6Fize1I/AAAAAAAABdc/yeufp6PF2ts/IMG_3466_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d6oQLmpI/AAAAAAAABdg/pKHdf5Cxt0U/s1600-h/IMG_3474%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3474" border="0" alt="IMG_3474" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d6wu7HBI/AAAAAAAABdk/ZPRlSKL1jAI/IMG_3474_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d7w1XSTI/AAAAAAAABdo/D7rqt3Yy3y4/s1600-h/IMG_3469%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3469" border="0" alt="IMG_3469" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d8DBrqgI/AAAAAAAABds/Kq28sdXzLZs/IMG_3469_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d8tBHYyI/AAAAAAAABdw/IVVvtm_ojDY/s1600-h/IMG_3463%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3463" border="0" alt="IMG_3463" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S__d9NzQe-I/AAAAAAAABd0/lOx_V5yoSAE/IMG_3463_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> </p> <p>On Saturday, Wayne and I decided to spend MORE money on our laminate floors, which was not in the original plans for this month. We went to Tile Zone where we picked up our last order and we went with a specific laminate chosen and a $3.47 sq ft price that I wanted to do better for. We found a slightly different product for $2.79 and a promise of them to be delivered by today for hubby’s 4-day weekend. Of course, after we paid, he called on Monday to let us know that it wouldn’t actually get here until the second week of June. Like I expected anything else at this point.</p> <p>The only other thing I wanted to mention before you guys can go (if you are actually still reading) is that I just inherited another cat. A kitten actually and dang they are hard work. Josh brought it from Richmond on Sunday night but I didn’t realize that he left the kitten until Monday morning when he was up in Austin. Of course, I have never been serious about not really wanting another cat before so he didn’t realize I was serious this time. Now Shi Fu is adorable but is only about 6 – 8 weeks old and is teething and climbing everything.

That being said, the ceilings look nice and crisp, the arches pop and the window trim is gorgeous – provided we find no more paw prints in the wet paint. <grin></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avq-OmEJI/AAAAAAAABaw/GeF49aTW1nY/s1600-h/IMG_3442%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3442" border="0" alt="IMG_3442" align="left" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avrCnQnkI/AAAAAAAABa0/j49IrnK3XWw/IMG_3442_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="304" height="454" /></a></p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>The color that we added to the new “library” actually is more of a semi-gloss than a satin and has more blue than the “baby puke green” that I chose before. My bff Terry came in in 2007 while we were in Alaska and painted for me as a surprise. I just wished I had chosen a better color. I think I did this time. </p> <p> </p> <p>Finished:</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avri_NuwI/AAAAAAAABa4/aQRFDniylP0/s1600-h/IMG_3451%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3451" border="0" alt="IMG_3451" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avtsYnP4I/AAAAAAAABa8/kcl4QSdALF0/IMG_3451_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> </p> <p>The original artwork that I picked for this room is actually too small and too floral. This metalwork is what I had picked for the living room and with the new mantle isn’t right either so it is being repurposed. I love the colors and it is going to work really well I think. Add the drapes and the rest of the furniture (and of course the hardwood floors) and this is going to be the perfect conversation area / library / quiet time space. Really, I can’t wait to sit in here and just commune.</p> <p>Last night Wayne and I curled up in here (cause wait til you see the actual living room – not a seat to be used) and just played catch up from the last few days. Things have been super busy with him at work and between the construction and school, things at home aren’t much better. Of course, I did get to go play on Wednesday. Terry and I went off to a day spa for the day and I came back pampered and much more relaxed. Wayne liked it cause I came back happier which of course worked better for him. Apparently I have been a bit of a bear :)</p> <p>Ok, enough dallying, let’s get back to the important stuff – the progress:</p> <p>Yesterday, I ended up with all three sets of subcontractors in at some point in the day which led to a lot of progress. Carmen with the paint (above), Richard the electrician and Eli came back to work on the carpentry.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avvT24KnI/AAAAAAAABbA/oZZnxO7ALL8/s1600-h/IMG_3445%5B7%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3445" border="0" alt="IMG_3445" align="left" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avvwWUMAI/AAAAAAAABbE/KJ7NnJUxxjE/IMG_3445_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="304" height="454" /></a> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Richard and his son were playing on the scaffolding in order to put in the new lights in the living room. We were tired of relying on just the ceiling fan for all sources of light – or using the lamps which weren’t all that effective either. This way we have a lot more option as the new lighting will be on dimmer switches for wider use. They also put the ceiling fan on a dimmer and a remote (hopefully one that we don’t lose regularly like the TV one). We checked it out last night and should work really well for lowering the lights during movies (which I like) without turning them off (which Ben likes).</p> <p>Look, there is another hole in my ceiling!! At least Wayne didn’t fall through to make this one.</p> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avxTP4qwI/AAAAAAAABbI/NwRzcjQdEnA/s1600-h/IMG_3446%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3446" border="0" alt="IMG_3446" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avx8500lI/AAAAAAAABbM/zQNOWAm8mOg/IMG_3446_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avydlXIsI/AAAAAAAABbQ/AI-HGXqBv1g/s1600-h/IMG_3447%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_3447" border="0" alt="IMG_3447" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cYHAXu8xJx0/S_avzVEj6cI/AAAAAAAABbU/YGjJ4R3Fpj8/IMG_3447_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="454" height="304" /></a> </p> <p>Does Tink seriously think that the coil of wire is going to jump up and bite her?

I am being taught patience and grace. There have been so many times during this ordeal that I have just wanted to move to Zimbabwe until this “three week plus touchup” project is done, especially since today is the end of week 3 and the list of things left to do is as long as the things already done. There have been times that I wanted to just yell at the people around me for things like leaving the door open or throwing sawdust all over my house. Believe me, these are things that are irritating and have been addressed but the good Lord has given me the wisdom to know that I am not the one who needs to address these issues with the contractor as God gave me a good and patient hubby who is much more politically correct than I am. What the Lord has given me is peace. Peace to know that when it is over it is all going to be good. Peace to know that these are men…fallible as all man and working hard to do the right thing. And Peace to know that I am not in control of any of my life, and the wisdom to know the difference.</p> <p>It is going to take another three weeks…God be PRAISED!!</p>Trachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362354543958397281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058067340162323930.post-45588373937674126622010-05-16T22:10:00.000-07:002010-05-18T16:12:15.259-07:00Finally…Scrap news our first CT Call, and a freebie<p>For most of the shoppers and designers in the digital scrap world, you all know that stores have been down for days, and while most are back up there are still some missing in action.
