Lily made out like a bandit with a bunch of new toys, a tunnel that takes up our entire living room, and a chair of her very own. She is quite protective of the chair. Yesterday morning she discovered her giant bear camped out in it. She crawled over, yanked him to the ground, hopped in and glared at the bear from her chair. This is similar to her reaction of physically pushing Grandma out of her chair in their living room.
I of course also made out pretty well. I came home with three projects - shelves in our bedroom, picture collage over our stairs, and racks for our laundry room. The shelves are still sitting packaged against our dresser, the picture frames are hung without pictures, and as for the laundry room racks....they are hung. For those of you who don't know, my three least favorite things about our house are the deck, the kitchen, and the laundry room. The deck needs to be completely torn off, the kitchen needs to be gutted, and laundry room needs a facelift. When we redid our siding, we also had an exterior door removed from our laundry room leaving a nice unfinished chunk of drywall. It was the first thing I saw when I got home and the last thing I saw before I left. It was by far, my biggest pet peeve. I wanted nothing more than to cover it up completely - along with rip out and replace all of the laundry room cabinets, replace the floors, upgrade my 1970s washer and dryer, and change the awful yellow paint color. Mike and I have lots of big ideas. Mike thinks he can rip off our deck, I think we can redo our kitchen by ourselves. Friday afternoon at 2:00 I settled for painting the laundry room and covering up the drywall. It's amazing what a coat of paint can do. Phase 1 of Operation Redo Laundry Room is complete. Phase 2 coming fall 2013.
