Best Buds

Let me start out saying that I don't really believe in arranged marriage, but if I did I would make sure these two little cuties got married. They have a long standing history. Their parents were roommates. They met each other when they were still in the womb. They have seen each other four times since. And according to Tomo, if they get married and have babies, their children will also be half Asian.

First Marathon

A whole lot of distance

You can tell where I gave in and walked

Charlotte kept getting upset when she saw me on the course because I kept running away from her

Final time: 4 hrs 12 min 30 sec

Wall Color

Here are some of the color splotches that I am looking at for the living room/dining room area. I would like to go with something pretty but neutral. I am also thinking about doing an accent wall in the dining room but I am not sure how that would look with the wall configuration. Thought or favorites?

I had a hard time getting a picture of the color swatches. Hopefully this is an accurate representation.

Little Miss Bossy

"Psst! Oliver" That is me yelling at Oliver to stop scratching at the plastic I laid down for painting.

"Sst! Olver" That is Charlotte yelling at Oliver.

And every minute later, she was up in face making sure he wasn't getting into trouble.

"Olver stop!"

"No cat!"

"Olver no!"

Poor Oliver. He can't get away with anything. And even when he was just laying there, she still yelled at him.

What was I thinking?

I have been wanting to paint the kitchen cabinets for a long time. They were a drab oak wood with prominent grain that I was not a fan of. My kitchen currently looks like a tornado reared its ugly head through it. I am more than half way done but can't help ask myself what I was thinking to start such a large project by myself.

I have scouted IKEA (thanks to the newly opened store in Denver) and found some inspiration that I plan on buying when I make my next visit.

I plan on snatching up the hardware for the drawers. Kayu is not thrilled about the lights, but he will soon be convinced. And lastly, the sink is a must have. I'll have to do some measuring to make sure it will actually fit. Stay tuned for the finished product! Oh yes, and my Aunt has graciously volunteered to paint over the ugly brown that inhabits most of the house...she is the best.
