Getting Back to Black and White

It’s been a busy few weeks. I removed absolutely every item out of my office, and that was no small feat. It all ended up in the guest room (and yes, we did have guests during this period and they were relegated to the TV room in the basement, but at least there is a large sectional AND a treadmill for people to sleep on). So I’ve painted and wallpapered (even though I swore off wallpaper when I removed it off the one wall in our bedroom – which still isn’t finished by the way, and because of that I get a brand new office).

Absolutely nothing from the original office has come back in here except my beautiful black and white laptop. My very pretty pink, yellow and cream office has been replaced by black, white and in your face red graphics – it’s an edgy, funky, contemporary office. This is how I want my whole house to look like (but again, Doug won’t vote yes for new furniture).

So, that’s what I’ve been doing with my time. Oh and yeah, it’s been amazing weather for this rain forest that we live in – sometimes I just gotta go outside and smell the flowers (er, rather, those brown leafy things that used to be oh, so pretty…)

Pics to come…

Happy Canada Day!

Most people's Canada Day - barbeques, sun, beach, park, picnic, parades, frisbees, fun, frolic

My Canada Day - ladder, paint, wallpaper, heat, stifling, sweat, grungy and then Doug says:

"What are We going to do about dinner" (as if by saying WE that somehow includes him in the planning/prep/and serving parts - riiight).

My reply?

Reservations.

Happy Canada Day to All!!

UPDATE:

Doug went to the store and bought barbeque stuff, wine and other stuff for dinner. All. By. Him. Self. And apparently he's going to prep, cook AND serve.

Awesome.
