Hmm, no title comes to mind...

The spare bedroom is all done. I posted pictures on my facebook page. I just have to take a few more pictures of it completely completed. I am very satisfied with how it turned out and was glad that the room is "green" in that I didn't buy any new furniture but used what I had. The only sort of exception was a chair that I bought at the Salvation Army in Quincy to use as a desk chair. I cleaned it and polished it up and it fits in perfectly. The room is very relaxing and cozy, it will be perfect for guests. We are planning on putting up the door this Sunday after we get back from church. Hopefully it won't take us as long as it did the last one.

I checked out PAW last week but didn't really find any dogs that I thought would work with us. They don't have a lot of small dogs right now, which, I suppose is a good thing because that means they are in homes. So we are going to go down to Rutledge in July and find a beagle or something of that sort. We are both really looking forward to having a pet.

I am taking a "vacation" from June 29th through July 6th. I will be off for eleven days in a row and I can't wait. Mom and I are going to paint the living/dining room on the 29th and 30th. It is the last area that I have wanted to paint and the biggest. With two of us, it should go well. I can't decide if I want to prime it or not, though I know I should. Hopefully Steve will help me tape it off and that will make it go faster. Jenn will be here on the 2nd of July through the 6th. And of course my birthday is on July 4th. It's going to be an exciting and busy week! I am going to go see Wil in Morton on the 26th. I will leave after work and then be back on Saturday, hopefully before church starts. Steve will be off that same week that I have off so that will be nice. I am definitely looking forward to July!

Poor Fishies

I got a call on Monday morning from my husband telling me that something had gotten into our pond sometime the night before and eaten our fish. We wondered at first, if they had infact been eaten. Then he found one of the fish minus its head laying in the yard and it was pretty much confirmed. So those pretty fish are all gone, all four of them. We are guessing it must have been a raccoon that got them. It's really the only animal with the dexterity and "tools" to have done so. I guess it at least takes care of me wondering what I was going to do with the fish next winter. I had already decided that I didn't want to have them inside again. The fish tank was just too much of a hassle to take care of (especially after the accident)and I think it made the house smell like fish. So now I am trying to sell the fishtank and get it out of the house. I might get some little goldfish to put in there but maybe not. I definitely am not getting any big ones again because I don't want whatever animal to think there is an available snack all the time.

We are talking again about getting a dog. I think I will stop by PAW today to see if they have any that jump out at me. We need something smallish because it will be inside most of the time. We will just have to see though. At any rate, I will look and see if one of the dogs gets my attention. I realy don't want something yappy so I don't know what kind of luck I will have.

I got the spare bedroom all painted and looking good last weekend. I wasn't sure about the color at first but decided that I would trust myself. I am glad I did because I love the color now. I just have to get a few more things for the room and it will be done. I have a desk up there that I will use for my sewing/crafting but I need a chair to put with it. Then once I get my bed from my mom's house it will all be completed. I was able to reuse all of the furniture in the room so I didn't have to buy anything new (except a chair which will likely come from a yardsale or salvation army). I just painted Steve's old desk and it looks great. I hope it will be a nice place for my guests to stay and for me to do my craft stuff.
