Back to Work

Now that this whole business of party planning for the wedding is over, our life is starting to head straight back to our realm of normal - which is basically to say our house is back in shambles because the reno's are back in full swing!

At this point we are pretty much finished the foyer/upper hall, Dining Room, Front Living Room and the 2 guest rooms ..... we are in the middle of the master bedroom and all other rooms are insane! We like to call our front Living Room our sanity room - it is the one finished room that we try to keep as organized as possible (which is almost impossible!), so that when we sit in there to watch TV or read or just chill out, we aren't constantly reminded of the mess .... until we look through the french doors and the Dining Room is piled from floor to ceiling with stuff from 3 rooms that are mid-reno!

So, being back into the groove, I decided that once I got home from a jog with Odus last night that I would start working in the backyard ...... we thought that having a 200' foot would be amazing ..... until you have to work on it! This is 200' of sheer disaster! I mean, we already dug up a monster shrub that had become a tree and hid such treasures as kid's pools, tires and oil cans ...... the issue is the amount of stuff these people planted in order to hid their garbage! Seriously, they must have had several discussions that started something like "Hmmm, I need to dispose of this here shovel - let's plant that peony!" SERIOUSLY!

So Odus and I will continue to dig and find all sorts of treasures! Tonight we start to rip out several garden borders - which are simply old bricks stuck in the ground and heaped with fill and buried Tupperware!

Oh Sugar!
