We Now Return You To Our Regularly Scheduled Program

David said at breakfast, “Well, now you can get back to your regular blogging.” Yes. Right after I clean out my mailbox! LOL! So I’ll be catching up on that and resuming my regular blogging. I’ve also been cleaning out my mailbox since we had our little server incident this weekend. In the process, I switched from Outlook Express to Thunderbird for my mail and I’m pleased with the change. If you don’t use Firefox as your browser and/or Thunderbird for your mail, I highly recommend them.

We’re in the midst of cleaning, painting and reorganizing our basement. Well, David is in the midst of painting our basement section by section. I just snoopervise and make helpful suggestions to make it look even better (read: add more work). But he has enthusiastically agreed with my suggestions and they have turned out nicely. He is painting the floor, the walls, the support posts, window wells, etc. We live in a 1925 Craftsman-style house and the basement is the last thing we have to work on before we will have literally worked on every square inch of this house over the past five years. Once the basement is done, we will move some of David’s office into my office and the rest to the basement. Then we will start on Peanut’s room. We’re hoping to have the basement done by the end of July and then have August to do her room.




I continue to make my way through my 99 things in 111 days. My 111 days is down to about 70 now, but I’m pleased with the progress I’ve been making. I’m hoping to cross off a couple more today.

Have a lovely day! 🙂
