Odds & Ends

So, I'm not sure how it has been two weeks since I posted.  In that time, however, I have gotten the laundry room cabinets finished (yay) and made a trip to Ohio.  

First things....here is a shot of the cabinets before & after:


I am soooooooo happy with how this turned out.  I still need to decorate and make curtains, though.  As I pretty much loathe shopping, I have no clue when the curtains will be finished.  If I can't pretty quickly find what I'm looking for online, I tend to give up.  And I haven't been able to find fabric that I like yet (and I am tired of looking).

I also swore up and down that I was done with house projects for a while.  However, this morning as I was cleaning the basement bathroom, I was hit was a sudden urge to demolition the entire room.  I want to beadboard the ceiling down there (which I haven't sprung on Jeremy yet).  I really should wait until next fall, as I have a lot of gardening/yard stuff that needs done now that it is warming up (FYI to y'all Ohio folks -- the daffodils are blooming here and the trees are starting to bud out, too).  We'll see...once I'm bitten with the urge, we usually have to go with it.

As a total side note, Lucy did the sweetest (and very responsible) thing today.  When I picked her up from preschool today, she announced that she brought her donut home from the party because she wasn't sure I wanted her to eat anything yugery (translation:  sugary) this morning.  Wow!  But the sweet part is that she came and found me after we got home and gave me her donut, because she knew I would like it.  I told her we could share it, which she was quite pleased with.  What a sweet thing she is (sometimes)!

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
