Blog! This is supposed to be “Do Nothing After Work Monday” but it turns out I am incapable of doing nothing, heh heh hee hah hoooo. This was one helluva sunset during one of our last evenings at the old house.

Brenna and Ronia came over during moving weekend to help out. At one point, predictably, Ronia got bored, so I cracked open one of my 4373748237 boxes of costumes and let her enjoy herself.

A very imaginative play followed, involving costume changes, a beautiful princess (with Brenna as a monster), and several Acts.

Sleepy princess! Ronia wanted Auntie Liz to join in and of course I obliged (I never turn down a costume change!) but moving stress distracted me the entire time. I look forward to having Ronia over again, with ALL of my costumes and wigs at our disposal…and no more moving stress!

Spraying Joan a few more times with UV-resistant sealer before sending her off to her new home.

Kitchen! Eventually we’ll get around to re-painting it, probably painting the cupboards too, but we’re in no hurry.

I suppose we should get a few more dining room chairs, too–we only have four. Our dining room set is a well-worn and much loved hand-me-down, and someday…it could use a little make-over too. Teal? I’m thinking teal.

I’m calling this the “parlor”, because it sounds classy. Super high ceilings and huge wall space that BEGS for large pieces of art. Most of the books will go into this room. Right now it’s filled with boxes of books and plants.

Josh and I have a little debate going on over what to call this room: I say “living room”, he says “family room”, neither one of us will change our minds so it’s the “Family Living Room”. Or “TV” room, I suppose. The cable guys suggested “media room”, but I don’t care for that at all.

According to my father, this kind of deck material (Trex) involves 0% maintenance, and I am all about that!

Perfect yard size for two dogs and two gardeners.

Yard “flair” already in place!

Love the greenhouse window. Currently the oregano we brought over from the old house is wilting (it’s cold!), but the violets left for us are doing just fine.

The girls are still getting used to everything. Bear Cub is finally going through the doggy door on her own…but not as often as I’d like!

“Have you started decorating yet?” inquired one of my co-workers. HA HA HA! Not even close. I’m taking my time with every decision. I don’t even know where to put my hippies use back door sign! Can you imagine?

Josh is bringing home dinner, at which point I may (or may not) commence with the Doing Nothing. It’s a lot more fun to do nothing when you have someone to do nothing with, ya know?
