Confession Two

I love painting! (Huge eye roll) We have been working on our kitchen for a month and a half now, and today will be the final day!! For any new homeowners out there, you understand...But I did tell Mike today that if I ever get the idea in my head to put up wallpaper or border anywhere in our home to take me out back and flog me! Of course, though I am complaining, things could be much, much worse. Our house is only about 20 years old, and I'm pretty sure that this is the first time anyone has put a new coat of paint on the walls. So, the cabinets are in great shape and paint-free, the walls are in pretty good condition, and in the grander scheme of things we have a home that is clean, warm, comfortable, and affordable. We are very blessed!

Speaking of blessed--we had our first relatively warm day today! It was not very sunny, but the temperature was almost 50 degrees...Like I said, it's been awhile, so we were excited and opened the windows and doors for a bit, and it almost started to feel like Spring could be coming!
We also cited the return of our lost trash can. Last week, on a particularly windy day, I looked out back and noticed that one of our trash cans was missing. Now, normally I would have assumed that someone decided they just really needed a trash can--but it was so windy that I visualized the wind rolling it down the street and into the next town. We did go out to look for it, but didn't find it. Apparently, it did not get too very far, for today it showed up next to our mailbox, which was nice. Here's my only question--it looks like every other trash can in the neighborhood, so how did anyone know it was ours?! Hmmm...makes you think about how much your neighbors watch your house...

Well, this has been a relatively pointless post (well, probably not "relatively"--but more like "ridiculously") Since Mike and I are trying not to watch TV, I am behind on most matters, and I have slacked off in my reading of nearly anything this week. Hopefully, next week I will have more deep matters to discuss.
