Friday Wrap #24
I haven’t done this in a long time.
Let’s see if I can still do it right…..
Oh crap. It’s Saturday now, isn’t it?
Oh well. I’m doing the wrap anyway.

I came home from my ten day vacation at my parent’s house. When I walked through the door I was instantly hit with Pine-Sol fumes. Holy crap! Tyson had cleaned the house from top to bottom. He even painted and hung up cabinet doors in my laundry room. We’ve owned this house for almost two years and those cabinets have been door-free because I wanted to paint them red and put new hardware on them. Clearly I never got to it…. But he did it as a birthday present to me. When I saw the finished doors, I cried a little.
Every time I have turned around this week, Helene is playing in the toilet water. Uhhh….NASTY! I can’t, for the life of me, get her to stop. She gets in trouble (read: a lecture she could care less about and then a time-out that she cares a lot about) but she still goes back and fishes in the water. I wish I could say it is funny…. But I’m just trying to keep my gag reflex in check.
Helene is also doing this a lot… (sleeping on the changing table)
I think she’s old enough for the changing table to do a disappearing act, don’t you think?
I turned 29. Wah.Hoo. I went to dinner with some friends and family and am still enjoying the benefits of the Birthday Shopping Extravaganza. I just HAVE to show some of the coolness that I’ve gotten….
Shimmery-sparkly goodness.
I actually bought some shoes!!!
I can only wear one though. Not as much fun… but still. Look look!
And I found the exact.same.shirt. that I wore in third grade.
You know you’re jealous of that shirt.
I collected a “specimen” for my BugMan and was told that I have Carpet Beetles. WHA?!?! EWWWWWWWWW. I’m not going to worry though. My trusted bugman is going to come and zap them all away next week. Because… whoa. How the crap do I have carpet beetles when I have zero carpet in my home?
Obviously I changed my blog design. I couldn’t find a suitable graphic for the whole “toddler holding a cat” theme… but as soon as I do, you can bet that it will be the new look for the Diary. I’m not quite sure if this a very likable design for the masses… but I like it. And that is what counts, right?
Tyson and I just got done re-painting our dining room. It is still green, in case you green-wall-haters were wondering. We started at 10pm-ish and finished around 1am-ish. Apparently when you have small children, it is best to paint when they are sleeping. Doesn’t it look like so much fun??
That’s it. It was a long one, I know…. But I thought it was entertaining.

Hi… delurking here. I think I found your blog last week but honestly, I can’t remember because, well… I haven’t remembered anything since I’ve had kids.
But, I just wanted to leave a comment and say… I like the bow on your cabinet. That was very sweet.
And… Helene is SO cute sleeping on her changing pad. That just made me laugh.
I like green. And your shoe(s) too.
Happy Birthday and hope your toe feels better!
I love the red for the laundry room! It makes it so cheerful. And green is a fabulous dining room color. I’m impressed you did it!
I love those red cabinet doors!!
Happy Birthday!
Cute shoes! Even if you can only wear one…
When you are done painting over there, you can come over and help me finish my house, k?
xo

a) when I went out for drinks with Lena, she accused me of wearing the same shirt that Savannah has. Maybe you and I could switch shirts?
b) still love the green dining room, but I love the red laundry cabinets (and cute Tyson for doing them!) more.
c) Helene. Ew.
d) the shoes and the bling totally rock!
Also the new design. I like the upside-down flowers for spring!
I like the new design! Cute shopping purchases too! I love the new shoes. Oh and Tyson painting and cleaning while you were gone? WONDERFUL! Cute touch with the bow too
love the shirt. LOVE the ring.
Green walls are totally cool. Green-wall-haters are jealous because they have to live with beige.
I’m crying my eyeezzz out and you know why.
omg the bow on the doors. he is sooo shweet!
p.s. my son has the same changing table. cute cute cute.
I like the green. I love the surprise.
And I say, if she’s sleeping on it, keep it.
I DO want your shirt! Three-year-old fashions out-do grown up ones by a huge margin. (If only I looked that cute after not washing my hair for a week…)
I think your new profile pic is bee-you-tee-full.
I love the red cabinets. I am painting something red in our house soon. Something. I think the green looks pretty darn cool too. I never would have considered green.
Missed the Friday (Saturday) wrap. Glad it’s back.
Hello – I love the green! We had a green dining room in our last home and I loved it! Now we are renting… sigh… and we have nasty renters paint everywhere. Someday, I will have bright colorful walls again… someday… oh, and I love your new shoes
Glad you are home. I love the red doors/cabinet. Cool for you for having an understanding, kind husband. See you have so much to live for…… As for the changing table and Helene… why do you still have a changing table? Isn’t she like 2? Or you guys going to have another baby!?!? Things could be worse for Helene too and the toilet water. It could be loaded with poo!!! Yeeeech!!!! Hang in there friend
WOW, I love the Friday Wrap!! Your hubby did good, didn’t he?
I am so impressed that you felt like painting. You are a very strong person, you just keep on going.
I am really praying that your shots work and you can put all this crappy stuff behind you!!
BTW….loved all the goodies you bought yourself for your birthday!
I think this mama needs some new shoes too! Glad your back doing stuff Nello. Baby steps girlie, baby steps.
lovin’ the shoes! they look so comfortable – and of course your sparkely ring
what a sweet surprise to have your cabinets painted…they look great.
