Blogging Train

I've fallen off the blogging train and I can't get back on....

I don't know...maybe it's my task oriented personality that gets in the way. But really everything I do is project based. Blogging should just be about checking in and remembering the special moments but mainly celebrating the mundane that will never be my life again...but for me it is a task.

First, I must take the time to notice and appreciate these moments, take pictures (simple for some but everyone is running from the camera these days), and then find that creative structure to enhance the interest factor. Easy, sure but that's not the end for me...I can't get started on my blog post until I've first read all 150 other blogs I subscribe to in my google reader, and then there are the emails I must read and the other pointless (no, it's all very important) Internet surfing that must be done. By the time this completes, I'm 60+ minutes in and nap time has ended. I find the computer so easily distracting!

So what projects have been taking up my precious small amount of free time? This month, it's been painting and first up was my long dreamt of master bedroom. For the last 3 1/2 years I have been dreaming of a beautiful shade of blue rather than the dark khaki green wall color we inherited. When it's finished (I mean when I've refinished my bedroom furniture to a nice distressed black and I've found and purchased my new black and white bedding, oh and don't forget the new headboard we need to build) I will post pictures. But painting one room is never enough so before I had time to enjoy and grow to love my new blueberry digs, I moved the painting gear next door and added a nice light blue hue to the kid's bathroom walls (I think this house has reached it's "blue" maximum). So now I need a designer (Lauren where are you?) to help me choose a complimentary color for my attached bathroom, oh and the draperies. I'm terrible with the details!

So for the moment...painting is done. What's next? Who knows, but for now we'll spend a brief moment getting caught up on our happenings blog style.
