I just sent my color-blind husband to Garden Ridge to pick out a piece of artwork that “matches” our newly created dining room. And four dining chairs that “match” the artwork we already have. Am I a glutton for punishment or what?

My keyboard is covered in cement dust.  So is my desk, the furniture, the banisters, and the rest of the house.  The guys showed up this morning to install the laminate flooring and then had to go bring in several bags of cement mix to “level out” the floor.

Which means that the floors won’t be finished until tomorrow because it has to dry.  So everything from that half of the house is still crammed into the other half of the house.  There is junk all over the carpet and everything in the house is gritty to the touch.

Ew.  I can’t wait to get this project over with.

So I’m finally taking the time to sit my butt down and figure out how to make a Blogger template.  Specifically, a Blogger template that works with all those silly “widgets” in New Blogger.  I have chosen my guinea pig and hopefully you will soon see something … worth seeing …

In other news, I mentioned that I was trying to get rid of some old scrapbooking supplies.  Well, completely by coincidence, I received an email from a friend who is going on a mission trip to Russia to minister to women and they need … wait for it … SCRAPBOOKING SUPPLIES.  She asked if I had anything I could donate.

HELL YEAH.

I have 14 albums, 7 refill packs, 120 punches, 2 Paper/Stickers Binders with a box full of pocket pages, 2 Paper Takers, 80 large sheets of stickers, and 1,800 sheets of patterned paper that will make their way overseas in a few months.  But more importantly, they will be OUT OF MY HOUSE in a few days, which means my office closet will be de-cluttered just in time to put the house on the market.

Speaking of which, the flooring company comes Monday to install the laminate downstairs, and after that we’re in business.  I know you can’t see me freaking out right now, but suffice it to say that I have chewed off every single fingernail on my hands.

Yeah, baby.

Does anybody want one of these?

We’re trying to de-clutter and I have one left over from my scrapbook store days. It’s navy and never been used. Name your own price. You do have to pay for shipping though.

I also have one of these:

It’s navy too, still in the plastic bag.
