Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
Growing up, I snapped the ends off a LOT of green beans. We also used to snap them into canning-size pieces. I figured it was time to involve the kids. We always eat the green beans whole, so we only snap the ends, but this sure brought back memories for me.
I have heard about this series, but I had yet to watch it on Netflix. Well, I am now hooked! I finished Season 2 today.
Laura practiced a class presentation on PTSD for Andy tonight. He gave her some tips for improving along the way. As long as she speaks more slowly in class, she should do well. (And, by slowly, I mean a lot more slowly!)
I am not one to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving, but with Andy’s family coming in for Thanksgiving and hosting my work party the following week, I don’t have much time to deck out the house. I dug everything out of the storage area and realized that we have reached the point of 20+ boxes of Christmas decorations and I bought more this year for the basement. I’m obsessed. I admit it. I will justify this by saying that I am only putting up the small trees before Thanksgiving… Well, okay, so I am putting out the decorations that I bought for the basement, too. Hey, I don’t have boxes for those decorations! It’s completely justified.
The other two shelves are finished in our store room. We will actually have extra storage space. It is time to start loading them up!
We finally have a place to put the pets. Unfortunately, we had to put the casts of their paws away as they were degrading, but their boxes and pictures have a place. Also, the dried roses on the bottom shelf are from the different arrangements at my Mom’s service. I feel like another project that we never could quite finish is complete. It just took three years to find the “right” shelves. Now, maybe, I will finally find those elusive curtains for our basement sliding glass door.
Andy worked on patching some holes and painting today. He also got everything that he needed to install two new lights by the sliding doors on the back of our house.
The house is in disarray right now as he works on the different projects, but I can tell that he is happy to finally have time to get some of these things done!
