I couldn't think of anything to write today, so I went around my house and took some terribly blurry pictures of some of my favorite things. I hope this becomes one of those "trends" that runs around j-land. I love looking into other people's lives, and seeing what is important or meaningful to them....
I painted the bathroom yesterday. I did it in white, because I wanted a nice clean look....and when I stepped back to survey my work....I hated it. I am just not a plain white gal! So, I painted halfway up the wall with the glitter paint from Betsy's room, and it looks much better. I'll put the border up today, and finish the rest of the painting. I also have to re-color the grout, which I will save for last. It's such a tedious job!!!!
Wee one came home yesterday and told me that I am the room mother for her class. WooHoo! The teacher told her that I was the only one that signed up for the position....lol, kind of a hollow victory there, but I'll take it. I only have one more year of being a room mother....how sad is that? We have a "tea" in a few weeks to discuss the do's and don'ts of our classrooms. I hope I win a door prize this year. Last year they gave away facials and massages!
I made spaghetti for dinner last night, but I didn't have any. I don't know when it happened, but I can't stand spaghetti anymore. Everyone said it was really good. I made angel hair pasta, which made wee one's day. She loves it. She actually had the left over noodles for breakfast, along with an orange, my other hated food. I hate eating oranges, but love orange juice. Go figure. It's like that skit they used to do on Zoom...."She hates cats, but loves kittens...." Anyone remember that? I used to have the Zoom book. They taught you how to do cat's cradle, and speak ubby-dubby. Man, that takes me back!
Okay, upward and onward....or is is onward and upward....I'm not sure....all I know is it's getting late and the bathroom isn't painting itself! Have a good one....

I love your favorite things. Everything was so beautiful. And the Zoom book, I had that book!!!!! I used to love ZOOM. Thanks for bringing me back even if only for a second! Have a great day....Kim
OMG......I haven't thought of Zoom in years. I watched that when I was younger. I am 43 now so that must have been 30plus years. UGH!! I can't beliece I am soold.
Have a good day finishing up the bathroom. I loved the tour of your favorite things.
You sure have been busy. Congrats on room mother. I was one every year that I could be. Have fun!

I love your favorite things. Especially the leg lamp. The framed wall paper and the pics of your girls as double weeones
How in the world could you hate spagetti?
Love the pics thanks for sharing them with j land... the bathroom sounds nice. have you been on a redoraeing kick
WOW! Never realized how alike your two girls look until that picture! It's like looking at wee one now and it's Betsy in the pic! You have so many wonderful things in your home. I don't think I have too many material things that I hold near and dear to me actually. My pics would all be things that the children have and they love. Nothing has been handed down to me over the years. Maybe I will take pics of the kids favorite things they sleep with, that would be neat I think.
Hugs and love,
Lisa
P.S.: When I saw those bowls waaaay up on that shelf you know what I thought of? Spiders! Yep, spiders making webs inside them and you taking them down to clean them one day and having a big ole' spider in them! EEEK!!!
okay now you need only to have the song these are a few of my favorite things playing. Neat idea. LOL I almost had spagettie. I love WE LOVE spagettie here LOL lori
Just think, once you finish the bathroom, no more projects. Right? Nice favorite things, cute idea for an entry. Have a great day!
Hello there, I was wondering about a couple of things: Where did you get that fantastic leg lamp?? that is great!, and how did your daughter like the brussel sprouts? That is a great idea to take pics of your favorite things. I always try to think of what to write, so im going to try that. Anyway great entries!! Stop by my journal (cause no one else does! :)
How much you want for that leg lamp? "It's a major award" Wait til I tell Pj you got that he is gonna want to come to your house. I love all your favorite things.
I will carry out this trend later today!!
Oh man...ZOOM!! It's still on PBS and Josh and I watch it every day!! I could never speak ubby dubby...but Josh can!!!
Pretty soon, my painting will start. I wanted to wait till Josh is in school and out of my hair otherwise he wants to help me...and its a HUGE mess when he helps...lol.
Well, I am off to start taking pictures!! Great Idea!!!!!
Hugs, Julie
Thats a great idea and I love your favorite things :)
woo room mother, it seems that alot of parents at our school don't like to volunteer either. I helped out Matthew's class last year alot and Justins as much as I could. I'm only one person! lol
Zooooom! My boys use to love that show :)
Hi im new at this so i dont know how to respond to comments, thank you for your compliments!!! My husband builds custom homes so he does the work himself. And my friend Allie (i have a night time job as well as the daycare, cooking and we worked together) she went to SUNY Brockport so she is like a little sis!! You will have to check through the rest of the journal I think I have other renovations and other things! I LOVE your kitchen, mine isnt quite done,you will have to keep checking back to see the finished product because we are waiting on countertops. Your kitchen is colorful and you have room to hang things on the wall I will not! You will have to give me your opinion!! Thanks for the comments! Heather~
I can't believe you put that picture up of Hay and I..she looks like a doll, but me, gah, put a bag over it!
~Betsy~
Lovely pictures. Maybe I'll do a little "my favorite things" display sometime.
In the pic of the girls when they were younger, I can see how much wee-one looks like Betsy. It's amazing! LOL ~Melissa
