Woke up with a jolt this morning.......dreaming that my 18yr old daughter had a baby in a cardboard box in the living room. One push, and that baby came out all dressed and pretty darn cute. What does THAT MEAN!??!!??!! Seriously, Whoa, that's some crazy dreaming!

So, time to get up and start the coffee. Stopped by the light in the living room coming in through the side window by the doors. Last night I took down the creme sheer curtain and replaced it with rice paper roll that you adhere to the glass - let in more light but still have privacy. However, the trim to the window is black and it looks too stark. ( see pic) What's a girl to do?
I guess I will let it be a couple days and see how it speaks to me......then decide.

Today is a HOLIDAY - a day off. Been struggling with a head cold so the question is- just be low key and treat myself to a honest to goodness day off or take advantage of the time and get a bunch done? I think I will do a little of each. First , something for me, read - I have at four books going at this time.........and probably seven by the night stand waiting.
THE SHACK
THE WOMEN'S ROOM
LEEWAY COTTAGE
THREE CUPS OF TEA
then I will work on getting some of the living room packed up. If we are ever going to paint , we must start somewhere, sometime. And seeing that it will be a very time consuming task with having to prime and then paint, this is probably a good time to start.
For fun, I think we will venture out to the local arts festival for some music and food later........

Happy September!
