getting excited!
There's a lot going on in the Grow household right now, which is normal. If it's not one thing making me excited, it's another. Kind of how it's been since 2007 {when we met} awww. Problem with that, though, is I get excited about something, and then it doesn't work out, or plans change, or I just get lazy. So I get worked up about nothing at all, have to tell everyone it's not happening anymore, and then I feel like a fat liar.
Well the Farmer's Market thing fell through this year because my sis and I are soo busy, we don't even have time to talk about it. I put together a list of all the things we need to do to our house, and it's overwhelming. Right now, we have arranged and re-arranged every room at least twice. I think it's finally proper for our lifestyles. But almost every wall needs to be painted from beige to pale blues, yellows, and maybe lilac. Still debating. Our bathroom needs to be gutted, and our basement too. We need a formal dining room kitchen table, if anyone knows where I can get a inexpensive one, holler.
Taylor is a busy busy man. He got the backyard in tip top shape, weeding and watering. If anyone knows where we can rent a bull dozer, let me know. I am looking for plants and flowers that complement the structure and orange-y color of the brick on the house. Ultimately, my goal this summer is to make the front yard look good enough that when people drive by they don't point and scream, "ewwwww.."
Ok, so the point of this post is I'm happily ten-feet-deep in projects that are begging for my attention. Half of me is happy, half of me wonders why I do this to myself? Have a hung around over-achievers too long, so now I feel like I have to always be doing something? Am I making up for when I spent all day perched on my bed or couch watching TV when it was beautiful outside (california '09)? Am I finally grasping the idea of "the future belongs to those who know what to do with today"? Am i completely neurotic for complaining when I really have it good. ugh. I don't know. I think I need an intervention. No way should anybody feel like they can't sit down for two seconds to check facebook or email when they need to be studying or ripping carpet out or looking up information about a potential business they want to get started by August. :) More about that LATER. I promise this time. I'm following through with this one.
On the bright side, I'm making pasta with pesto and tomatoes for dinner. yummrs.
