it's been busy here in our house lately. about 3 weeks ago, our block had a block party. it was so much fun! we had the street blocked off and everyone pulled coolers, chairs, grills and food out to the street. there were games and talking and all kinds of fun neighborhood-y stuff going on.
the following week, lp and i started our painting. we began on friday and it took us all the way until sunday to finish and even then we weren't completely done (the people who painted the house before us painted the half bathroom blood red, like murder bathroom. they also decided to paint the ceiling red, then paint over one coat of white so when we were done painting it turned out we needed to paint the ceiling.) it was not as bad as i thought it would be. we painted and painted and painted all day, everyday, for like 10-12 hours. it was exhausting, but so worth it in the end. our house was in dire need of a paint job (they had chosen hideous colors!) so we're much happier about it all now.
last weekend, lp's sister came to town. it was a BEAUTIFUL weekend- weather in the 70s, sunny, breezy. gorgeous. we ended up going to the mlk memorial and the roosevelt memorial on friday, which was really great. saturday, she and i went shopping while lp watched the longhorns get whooped by ou and then we had people over for drinks. sunday, we went to see a movie and then to the zoo. it was a great weekend.
lp just left for africa for 8 weeks. it's going to be a long 2 months, but maybe i'll be blogging more. so far, i've been the most productive person in the world. finishing painting, sweeping the backyard, re-potting plants- you know, that stuff. we will see how this all goes!!
