Southern North: It's Been A While... Again...

Sooo, It's been quite some time since my last post. We've been busy, busy, busy little bees around these parts! We finally got moved into our house officially... Unpacking was, like, the most fun ever... NOT!!! I mean, I completely get the fact that when you have a moving company pack all your stuff they are going to wrap the shit out of everything so that nothing gets broken, but I'm pretty sure I unpacked more paper than anything. And I'm pretty sure I've lost a couple of small things in said paper. Oh well.

OMG... Painting... I have painted so much I think I've given myself arthritis or carpal tunnel or something! (Can you get carpal tunnel from holding a paint brush for 746 hours?!?) There are a ton of nooks and crannies (crannies? That looks so weird!) in this house, and vaulted ceilings, which I love, but I didn't love painting way up there, by myself, on a tall ass ladder.

I had to paint everything white. (All white everything always!) The colors in this house before were dark taupes and grays and it made it very dark. There isn't a whole lot of natural light coming in, so I needed to do something to brighten this place up! I did however paint the kitchen this super pretty peacock blue and I've decided to use that same color for our stairway and upstairs hallway, even though I only have like a tiny bit of the stairway walls painted so far. Procrastination and all that jazz...

We finally went and bought appliances on Labor Day weekend. We definitely needed new ones. I mean, what we have works and all but we needed a microwave anyways so why not get all new matching appliances? My husband likes stainless anyways and what we have is white. So they are supposed to get delivered on Monday and I CAN NOT WAIT! We went with Samsung just in case you were wondering. ;)

The Taco has his backyard, which is awesome, but I really think we need to look into getting a new fence or something. One of the fence doors came off it's hinges (like I do sometimes lol) and it was wide open. I let him out and a few minutes later my doorbell was ringing. It was our neighbor, with The Taco... First impressions and all that! Lol. I was painting and a HOT MESS and I'm sure she thought to herself, "What is wrong with that girl?" or "Oh great, we've got these kind of neighbors." Also the neighbor husband mows his yard like every other day and well we aren't that "on it" with the mowing of the yard. We need to get "on it" though being as our house is the first house you see when you pull into our neighborhood. I did mow the front yard yesterday and literally almost died. It's just too hot to be push mowing! I told my husband if we aren't going to buy a riding mower then we should have a yard mowed at least during July and August. Does that make me a big baby? Maybe, but I'm ok with that!
