Like a friggin' bird
I am nesting. Baby clothes are washed and folded, curtains are up in every room, my books have been sorted by author, and the guest closet is ready for long-term guests. Not that I haven’t always loved painting and moving furniture and hanging crap on the walls – I just currently have an OVERWHELMING NEED to get it done NOW. Despite my various pains I managed to finish almost all my out standing projects today, including rehanging the two dozen pictures I had taken down in my first trimester because I no longer liked how they were arranged. And some of them were crooked.
The next step is cleaning, which I don’t enjoy nearly as much, but it desperately needs to be done. I have my mother and sister coming in a week and another dozen people coming for my baby shower on March 7th. My friends and family do not need to know just how lazy I am when it comes to most household chores. It’s funny to say “Oh haha, I can’t remember the last time I vacuumed the bedroom!” but in reality, I do remember. Never.
And on the subject of arranging things (specifically books), here’s a message from E: When are you going to put a picture of my bookcase on your blog so your friends can stop bitching about it? I think he imagines y’all think about him a lot more than you really do, but here it is honey!
p.s. If you say one thing judging my books, I will SIT ON YOU.
Toile baskets — my wife would love those. I put a pink toile border at chair rail height around my daughter’s nursery.
Wizards and Vampires???? Sounds normal to me :)
PS. Yey! I’m in this picture :) I have that picture of us in my living room too.
It’s a very nice bookcase, I’m glad our bitchiness was of assistance!
I’m coveting your black toile baskets, I have buttercream yellow walls and all black cabinets/bookshelves. I want those baskets!
Hey, as long as you don’t give birth to a baby that eats you or whatever happens in the last book, read away. Myself I have way too many books that insist on having words like “temptation” and “sin,” and I do not mean religion books.
The baskets are made by Waverly, but I got them for $12 at TJMaxx. If you have a HomeGoods you might try looking there too.
Guess what i did today? I bought you presents!!! And wrapped them all pretty (well, mostly pretty)!!! Because we’re coming thursday!!!!
Anyone with presents is more than welcome to come visit. I’m really excited to see you!
