Alright....Alright....

I know I've been a total slacker in the blog department.

But, really.
There just hasn't been a thing going on here.

Well, except we've been "finishing" projects after that little world-wide-web outburst of mine.

Noodle's furniture is all painted, but there are still a few finishing touches to put on before I can give you actual photographic evidence of this completed task.

Next on the agenda is to paint the garage. (I know, I know. You were thinking, "tile that freakin' kitchen backsplash already!" Weren't you? Well, I want to get the garage painted before it gets too hot. Plus, I'm mulling over some beveled subway tiles vs. plain cheap ones.)

In the meantime, Noodle has had the audacity to turn another year older:



The nerve of that girl! Turning 9 before I've had the chance to lose this baby weight. Rude.



We've also been having playdates with Noodle's best friend Lily, who is a very intelligent little girl..........until we get finished with her. I swear, she drops a few IQ points every time she comes over to our house.





Let me illustrate:


And...there you go! Good times.

I've also been traveling a lot. San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Chicago and Boston again next week. I've wanted to visit with my internets in those towns, but I just haven't been able to juggle a visit and the meetings I need to attend.

Okay. I have a confession.

I can't stop thinking about painting my woodwork. Tell me to stop. Please. Tell me I can't do it before the kitchen gets finished.

Please. Help a sister out.


Ooo. One last thing: I haven't been keeping up with my blog-reading except for the blogs of my two expectant blogging mommies: Sarah and Cutzi. It's killing me. I want to see photos of sweet little babies. I'm thinking about you girls!!!

Love that Noodle!

But I love you more! And have missed you! I seriously was about ready to call you up and see if you still lived on the planet. I thought you might miss Xochi's birth! And we can't have a new baby around here without Aunt Martz around. It wouldn't be right.

I'll work on those bedroom pics... I'm a little slow on the project finishing around here too.

Glad to hear from you!

--you know me..Paint it!!
nice to see your around Fartster..
your little nine year old is a dolly!

Amy said...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE white trim...however, that being said, I would NOT recommend painting. It is a monster job to make it look good. And, I will say it because everyone else is too nice...Finish your kitchen first!

See you Sat. for a little time with TC?
