randomness

There were some really bad storms in our area last night, mostly power outages and trees down but I do think there were some tornadoes as well but overall our area is ok. And since our power never really went out we didn't think to check our basement, however, this am I went down and found a ton of water where the sump pump was broken apparently and never came on. Loveliness!! This pic is AFTER Byron already took all of the carpet out and had the sump pump working enough to drain the rest of the water out. The carpet wasn't ever attached down so when we first went down there it was floating - nice. Anyway... everything is all moved around and is starting to dry but Byron has to go buy a new sump pump and install that this afternoon since the weather isn't looking too fabulous still. Oh well, new project to keep our minds off the "is the baby coming today?" issue. OH and I have decided that between the storms where power went out in places close to the hospital and the basement flooding it IS a good thing Corynn isn't here yet. BUT once that basement gets taken care of we're going to the hospital - HA!
New lovies!! I bought the zebra striped one and a daycare parent gave me the other one. They are both soooo soft and snuggly - glad we have 2 - one for me and one for the baby!
This is the window in Corynn's room - bamboo roman shades and flowy curtains. I really like it - now if we just had some carpet.


Decided to paint the dressers we had up there white and I like them so much better and then in one of the cleaning rampages found the turtle album that my sister in law gave me from one of their trips to Hawaii. It was handmade there and in real lighting looks pretty good in the room. The green walls in this pics look like baby peas... lovely!
Decided to clean and organize my scraproom - what else is there to do since I'm not birthing a baby?? Finally hung up my diploma from college, it's been sitting on the floor collecting dust.

Doesn't really look like it, but it's much better I promise.
Moved all my ribbon/flower jars to the table so I can see them all. Love!Went through all my old scrap mags and am giving away 3 bags full and then the other stuff is either give away or give back - no Heather I'm not giving away your cricut fonts, but figured now that you have your own fancy room you'll be needing these.

Oh and FINALLY hung up the bulletin board squares (under the black shelf) for ideas and inspiration, which required moving junk so there was room to see them.
AND Heather was with me when I just HAD to have this old wooden bing thing and she told me to use it to hold chipboard so I finally organized all that. My letters and numbers are still in a bag but this works really well for the other goodies.
OK then a video I found on Dooce's blog that made me laugh so hard. (Girls, this is the 1st video I sent NOT the 2nd silly one.) oh and you'll have to ignore any SP mistaces my speell chek doesn'tn seam to bee woking latelie.
