1. My sister and I took a long walk and then did yoga. Ouch

2. Finally chose some tile for the bathroom. Didn’t order it, but we chose it. Jeez

3. Three episodes of “Ghost Hunters”

no more carpet! 3 days ago

Yesterday I accomplished something small but…complete.
When we bought the house, there was this nasty puke-green carpet in the front hallway and up the steps. That’s really the only place there was real carpet in the whole house. And it was obviously installed eons ago… maybe as old as the 50’s? It was also filthy, covered in cat hair and months of dust (sometimes the state in which people must have actually lived in that house is amazing to consider). Why someone within the last, oh, 40 years, didn’t gaze and stand kicking at that carpet and just suddenly decide to rip the whole pointless mess up, I do not know. It was covering the most potentially fabulous and striking part of the house for decades.

Anyway, several weeks ago, we pulled up all the carpet and it did wonders for the entryway. But there were still strips along all the walls where the carpet was tacked into the floor as well as nails up all the steps. So I settled in for the task of eliminating all of it. It wasn’t really a huge job or a long one but surprisingly arduous as well as very satisfying. When I pulled up that last nail, I felt like superwoman and I had to go in and share my accomplishment with Todd.

Aaargh! Yes!

1. Wow, I’m glad I have my sister. Sophie and Will get off the bus at her house and so I went over and sat and talked and we drank diet Cokes and ate pistachios and looked at decorating magazines

2. Getting little things done at the house. Every little step…

3. Just snuggling with Sophie and Will after baths and reading. Will reads Sophie’s spelling words to her and she spells them. It’s a funny thing to see
