clean house
I am looking forward to their visit, it's been almost 2 years and we've done so much with the house, I can't wait for them to see it! The guest bathroom is 98% done! I just need to hang a few things on the wall, and give it good cleaning.

Snow in April
Wow, snow in April! I went home to West yesterday to visit my parents, and today it actually snowed! At first it was just little flakes, but after lunch it started really coming down! I was able to take a few pictures on my cell phone! Then I drove back to Austin, and it snowed until Temple, and it was so thick! It was sticking in the grass, but the streets were still too warm. I guess because it was melting on contact, thankfully!

RECAP
I haven't written in a long time, but I've really wanted too. Now I can't remember half the things I wanted to write about. Guess I'll try this short recall list:
MOVIES:
Bridge to Terabithia - good story for the most part, a bit too long, the kids were cute but it's a sad story and the ending was a let down. Thumbs on the side.
The Last Mimzy - good story, not too long, believable actors, cute kids. Thumbs up!
300 - too long, too much over the top imagery, too much fake blood. Thumbs down. (Sorry Tony)
Wanting to see: Blades of Glory
HOME PROJECTS:
Yard - I was able to make the brick circle around the tree in the back yard, it looks pretty good. Even Tony thinks so! The tree is blooming, with new green leaves, it's so pretty! It was very muddy but I think that helped me to dig the shallow trench around the tree and place the bricks on their sides. I still have about 50 bricks so I can some day do the trees in the front yard, and one day make a flower bed.
Guest Bathroom - The painting is done! I think it turned out well, the horrible turquoise is gone! I've almost decided on blue and green towels, and the accessories are shell themed. I need to get a new shower curtain and rod, new towel bars, buy the shadow boxes and decorate them, buy towels, and just put it all together. It's all in my head for now, but I only have 2 weeks before Tony's parent's visit so I need to get it done! Maybe I'll actually be able to post before and after pictures.
Well that's a very condensed version of what's been going on. I'll try to write more later. Now I really need to get back to work!

I am feeling so blah today! Not getting much done at work, yet worrying about all the things I need to get done outside of work! I really need a vacation, yet haven't the first clue in how to plan something. It just seems such an insurmountable task that I can't get started. Do I use a travel agent, or book something online? The summer is filling up fast and I really need to give my boss the dates I'll be gone. I had a weekend getaway planned for April as a surprise for Tony, but the great deal on the hotel I was going to get fell through, so now what? Clearly, I'm in over my head.

I've got to start posting more often! I have been avoiding it because I want to be able to load lots of pictures and haven't figured it out yet. But I shouldn't let that stop me from writing!
Lots of things going on, as usual. It's already March! I've been training for a 10K run on the 25th, but actually I'm not doing that well. I've only been running about twice a week, and I'm still having to walk a lot of the time.
I have been doing some yard work which I really like. I've planted two rose bushes, one in the front yard and one the back yard. Both are Hybrid tea roses, and one it red and the other is pink. I've also got some bulbs growing in large pot, but I can't remember if they are tulips or daffodils, or something else. We'll see when they bloom, if they bloom!
I've got a big home project coming up. I am finally going to finish the guest bathroom. When we bought the house it was a horrible turquoise color. For two years I looked at and hated it, and then finally last summer I was able throw up two coats of primer to cover it up. But then I got sidetracked and never finished. But this month I will finish it! I've got the color picked out, and I'm going to start prepping the bathroom this weekend. I've got "before" pictures, and maybe one day I'll be able to post "after" pictures too!
