Motivation, progress!

So I ended up being a little more productive than I anticipated on my day off! While I did take the time to watch just about the entire season 2, I also managed to meet a friend for lunch downtown, do all of the laundry in our house, run all the errands I needed to run - which included finding the best uniforms ever for my curling team (more to come on curling at a later date), visit with Andrea and kids for a little while and make dinner for Marc! The only thing I didn't get done that day was my over-due phone call to my agency and that was because I have been so frustrated with them lately that I didn't have it in me to not say, "Where the F are the referrals?!?!?" Anyways... And then Thursday I was a scrapbooking maniac after school and was able to scrapbook half of the 100 good wishes quilt! What a domestic diva I have become.

After a 3+ month delay, work on the nursery is well on it's way. Windowsills are in, walls are ready for paint and more woodwork is being cut as we speak. And I'm supposed to be painting as I speak/type. Here's a sneak peek, which probably doesn't look much different from the last picture, but trust me, it's progress!
Ok, I'm going to turn the computer off now so that I can't paint. I hate painting. I really hope I like the color I picked out because I don't want to paint again. Leaving you with the Buxton's very special quilt squares...

Sounds very productive! Let me know when you are ready for the next season. It's waiting for you. The nursery is coming along quite well. I cannot wait to see the finished product. When is the carpet due to arrive? Keep up the good work.

YAY! You got me thinking and I had a little Carrie Bradshaw marathon yesterday--season 3.

Can't wait to see the finished nursery.

I can't wait to see the finished nursery! Let me know if you need any help - believe it or not I like to paint. And I am not sure that you have the BEST curling team...we will see about that! Sorry Amy is wearing off on me.

Glad that your nursery is coming along! I love a good, productive day. I love the feeling of getting a lot accomplished.

Hey Amanda,

We did get the dream rocker--I could not believe all of the color selections when we got the spring catalog last week! I was really bummed until I saw the prices on the specialty fabrics--totally couldn't afford to pay 1800 for a rocking chair!

The nursery is coming along quite nicely. Keep up the good work! Let me know if there is anything I can do. Oh, I am super excited about your shower! You're going to love it! :)
