Just found out that a friend from high school lost her husband today. I feel so very bad for her and her kids. I can't even imagine.


I have a date tomorrow...that's a good thing, not that I feel like going right now.

What a tough day, Belinda.

I hope you have a good time on your date tomorrow. That man is lucky to have you as his date.

This little poem is the subject of much debate, I always love that. Especially the "so much depends..." Yeah, like what?

hauling chicken sh*t

from the white chickens

Naah. You're reading too much into it. I think there was some leftover chicken seed (aka polo tacos) in the wheelbarrow.

This is my favorite gardening poem:


The Red Wheelbarrow

by William Carlos Williams

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

Okay *I* think they're all a bunch of those wooden painted cut out things that people get from craft shows... the chicken, the wheel barrow, all of it... and I picture the small town woman pondering their proper placement... so much depends on it, you know.

Aw, what a crummy day, Belinda! I am so sorry to hear about the stresses at work and about your friend's husband. What a thing! I hope you manage to get out and have a good time tomorrow night.

I used to work with a woman named Dahlia. She had two-tone hair and was a crazy person.

I was THIS close to buying one of the more expensive area rugs (8x10) that Lowe's carries ($379 on sale), but then I fell in love with another one: this one was $54.50 on clearance!! I bought it and put it down last night. My right shoulder is killing me a bit today from hefting the damn sleep sofa up and down by myself, but I didn't want to wait til Sunday when David's here.

Here's the den with my old stained UGH carpet I brought from the apartment in 2007 when I moved in. I also hadn't painted the walls yet or replaced the coffee table/end tables. (I put the final/3rd coat of Ladybug Red on the walls last Sunday).

With the old crappy blue rug:

The beautiful hardwood floors in that room (that's Eli on the coffee table washing his face and Sophie headed toward the window perch):

After with the new rug! I love how the color complements the hardwood floor.

Looking in from the kitchen...

And looking back toward the kitchen...

David and I are gonna work on getting my Barry paintings and other Mexico-related items back up on the walls this weekend. The final step will be to installed curtain hardware and buy valances. I'm thinking a gold-tone valance might be nice. I've really worked hard on this room (it's where we spend most of our hanging out time), and I'm becoming more and more happy with the way it's turning out.

As long as you don't nickname him "Dick". It would sound weird to hear someone hollering, "Here, Dick!! Heeeeere, Diiiiiiick!!"
