mandi in real life.
Wow it seems like FOR EV ERRRRR since I’ve clicked that “begin a new post” button! What have I been up to???
Well, got my husband all graduated.
Celebrated mother’s day with my mother.
And did LOTS of work at my brother’s house.
We removed some walls, put up a support beam, and left a hole where we have tubes to bring up chords to the 37″ flat screen t.v. that we’re going to mount on the fireplace wall.
Whew! I’m pretty exhausted! But the great thing is, we’ve done most of the work while my brother Matt was away on vacation this week! He’s gonna be shocked when he gets home tomorrow.
Oh and I’ve decided that two of these chairs would look freaking awesome in the living room along with my sofa:
Only problem is coming up with the money! haha Isn’t that always the case?
Well, coming up with money and coming up with time- sometimes are one and the same problem. I haven’t done anything really creative lately- though I’ve been being really productive! I like spending time doing something where I’ve got something to show for it when it’s all said and done. And pretty soon the living room will be done and we can work on the office- and I’ve got BIG PLANS for the office!
Big plans, big plans…. did you know I’ve been working on a book as well? Probably not since I’ve never mentioned it. I started it while I was taking a creative writing class in my last major. I majorly wanted to be a writer! And I still do! But it just doesn’t seem like I have enough time to do all the things I want to do.
Such as reading everybody’s blogs that I’ve been missing. I actually dreamed last night that I was checking up on the blogs for the last week and somebody posted 22 times! haha I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened. Well I’m out to leave some lovin!
I’ll be back soon, promise! ;)
