Hello, hello! I just have a quick minute here but wanted to pop in and say THANK YOU! to all the kind and supportive messages and comments regarding my last post. Thank you so much!

I dropped off a bit due to getting a pretty nasty cold and then… we kind of got ourselves into a bit of a pickle and as a result my internet connection has been spotty at best for the last 2-3 days. In a crazy turn of events, my office is now in the middle of getting a completely unplanned makeover. A good thing, but the timing has been difficult.

As part of this unplanned makeover, we decided to pull out the carpet and paint the wood floors (think, large oversized pink and white diagonal stripes). I had no idea about these things, but apparently, it’s best to paint wood floors with an oil based paint and that stuff takes at LEAST 24 hours to dry before you can do another coat, then the sealant stuff also takes 24 hours, so when all is said and done it will mean many days with out access to my office... which (and here lies the pickle..) is where the cable/internet hook up is for the whole house.

Soooo.. after living for a couple of days with little or no internet connection (only when things were dry and only until we did the next layer) we’ve decided (i.e.- I pleaded and gave my best most pitiful little puppy eyes to my sweet husband) to mount a small shelve on the wall temporarily to hold the cable boxes up off the floor so we can continue to paint but will also have internet access! Yippee!

So, I’ve got a ton of work to catch up on and emails to write but… I really wanted to check in, thank you for your sweetness and ALSO, show you these pictures!

I’m not going to tell you what they are for just yet because we have some work to do yet, but … aren’t they so beautiful!?!

Ok, I’ve really got to get to work now (so glad that I can!)  Have a great week and don’t forget to watch the premiere of Parenthood this coming Tuesday! I’ll be watching! xoxox
