hellooo fresh paint...

Well, this is the final product. New roof. Newly-repaired cedar boards. Nice new paint job on EVERYTHING. Siding, trim, shutters, gutters, porch railing, porch floors, doors... Everything is so much brighter and cleaner. The cedar-siding color is a light gray-green which changes colors throughout the day. The porch is my favorite part, going from dark gray railings with a burgundy floor, to white railings with a sage-green floor. And the doors are a terra-cotta-brown-orange... something different than everyone else on the block. (they all have red, burgundy, dark green or blue doors)

We are getting a lot of compliments from the neighbors (well, who can blame them?) Before they were looking at the Adams Family house, and now they can gaze at the trendy-new Ripple abode. (To see a photo larger, just click on it...)

I think I'll go have some lemonade on my new porch now....
oh, and still no baby.
yet.

38 weeks, 2 to go.

Here I am, 9 months pregnant. Its been a very long, hot summer and I know I've been neglecting my blog.... and I'm still going to neglect it for a little while so I can, you know, give birth and all that. (Its MY blog, so get your own if you don't like it.)

And I promise to give a recap when I can:
a) find a time when I'm not working, sleeping, mommying, directing painters and growing a baby within my own body.
b) actually recall the events my roller-coaster of a summer. (there were 100's of sit-com moments to be had)
c) have the baby out of me, and am able to sit at my computer and breathe comfortably.
d) all of the above. (notice a pattern here?)

So, perhaps the next entry will be an announcement. We'll see.
Ciao.
