LuLu

After several days and many cans of brilliant silver spray paint.....the inside of my girl, LuLu is shiney and silver....all silver, silver, silver! I'm loving it! It began with a can of silver appliance paint to cover the ugly brown stove and oven....then, I just kept going and going. 

I believe I'm going to enjoy it much more than white....it's bright and light without being too, too...... you know? ...and unique, of course, unique.

New Project! Meet LuLu!

I am definitely trailing sparkles....Everywhere!

I have a New Project and her name is LuLu!

SOOOO EXCITED!!

Lulu is my 1962 Santa Fe travel trailer that I bought from my friend, Holly and brought home last Sunday.

This has been a busy week of cleaning and prepping and PAINTing, Oh MY!!

Ok, not nearly as much cleaning and prep as painting. I'm always so eager to get to the good parts, I don't have much patience for the mundane, which means I have spray painted a whole set of lovely cobwebs in the corners.

Ah....just adds more visual interest!

Fun New Find

This is Kandee Johnson & she is just adorable!
AnnaBelle and I both tried out these nails. Mind are red w/turquoise, with sparklies & black hearts and Belle's are like the tutorial. So cute and rather RED Queen, which I LOVE, of course.

NOTE to my Bosom-y Self:
In the interest of continuing to breathe....
Do NOT hang upside down on the Teeter
without a BRA.
Enough Said.

Whew! Happy Relief.

I am Thankful. Indeed. Probably should begin each and every post with that simple, powerful sentence.
A thankful heart is a happy heart.

It's been a difficult couple of weeks. Lots of things happening at once...or not happening....

My back broke. Ok, not really, but it feels like it when my herniated discs bulge out and it feels like IronMan has pressed entire fist up against my spine......UGH! Couldn't straighten up. Walking like a little stooped Grannie, couldn't climb up and down in my big truck (breaks my heart), couldn't do much of anything for a few days. The worst it's been in quite some time. Right in the middle of my good streak of working out....UGH, again....

Had a BIG meeting for Kat at her school. I dreaded it because these things always make me feel like my parenting is being evaluated and found wanting. Also, it seems to make me re-live my own school experiences & takes a lot of energy for me to shake myself and say, "Hey! I'm the MAMA" All grown up & Powerful!
I am so very impressed and thankful for the willingness of Kat's teachers to work with her unique set of needs and their enthusiasm to help her be successful and for the support of our good therapist. Kudos to all of them. It was GOOD.

I've finished enrolling AnnaBelle in the Oregon Connections Academy & she is on her WAY to a very impressive remainder of 8th grade without the distractions of BOYS, the DRAMA of mean Girls and the subsequent stress.
THANKFUL.

My sweet Man is WAY TOO BUSY at work, but again we are thankful for the good business and believe the Helpers will come and he won't always have to get up at 1:30am to head to the Log Yard.

My Good Chiropractor blessed me with his Teeter Spine Inversion Machine and it is HELPing my poor back.
THANKFUL.

Happy Ground Hog's Day!

"Punxsutawney Phil stands proudly in the sunshine"!!
WooHoo!
 Spring is on it's way!!
 Now we do a little dance of JOY!

So HAPPY!!

YES! I received a beautiful new desktop touch-screen computer from my man for Christmas, but I haven't been able to fully enjoy it because we were sharing an internet connection our neighbor generously allowed. Just didn't have any 'oomph'...some days you could get on.... mostly you couldn't.
Frustrating......
So, shortly into the new year, I ordered our own high speed hook-up and through a series of painful delays.......(you wouldn't even believe it....) we just now, today, February 1, 2013, received our modem and we are ON LINE, BABY!!! I am so excited!! OOOOOh.....the possibilities.....!!!!!
