we've been a little busy this week. we've also had a bad internet connection. not pleasant.
anyway, it's a rainy day and i'm finally alone.
we've started a workout routine together. so far we've done five days in a row - which definitely beats our one day in a row record. it's fun and good for us and winter (as usual) has sucked much of our time into watching television. all we have to do is cut out one or two of the stupid shows that we aren't really watching anyway to move around.
we've also started work on our bedroom and bathroom. it's an endless endeavor but i'm excited. we have to finish removing wallpaper, mud up the walls and smooth them out, paint - and that's just the very, very beginning.
my sweet husband did one great thing that automatically cleaned up and modernized the room:
(although the rain has made it so dark that the pictures didn't turn out so well . . .)
before:
our lovely, shiny green, shower-curtain-looking thermal curtains with wrinkles that would never come out.
i'll do them justice - they did keep us warmer.
after:
blinds! hooray! i can actually let light into the room instead of living like anne frank!
we're also looking at paint colors for the room. we both like green, but not too bright and not too cool and not too . . . green. we're thinking a green so faint it is just a wash of green. right now the walls are a peeling creamy yellow, so anything's an improvement.
oh, and if you're wondering what a dog does on a rainy day, it's this: he curls up behind me in the chair and snores the day away.
