Is it Monday already? Really?! The weekend flew by with all that painting. The little one and I tackled the edging today. She is so so good. We got our painting groove on and danced to some tunes while painting the morning away. So much fun! So now I get to pick a color. Yay! I'm going to go with a really light gray for the hallway and the little office room. I'm thinking something along these lines. Then we'll sand the floors (I think we'll keep the hallway floor and paint it instead of putting something over it. Your suggestions were all so great! Thank you SO much!) and paint them an almond color. So fun to see this house transform!
It's been pretty chilly here lately. The wind has been killer. I've been upping my running to reflect the lack of snow and ice now, but the cold is rough. I've been adding speedwork and long runs into my routines, in hopes of running a few more races this year. And my body has never felt better. It feels strong and sturdy and healthy and amazing. Go figure I needed to exercise in order to gain weight. So here I am, at the end of a sunny, happy Monday jumping because I can and wanted to, and my love captured it for me.
Want some cool links?...
