After 12 years of hodge podge, we have ordered bedroom furniture that comes fully assembled! We will actually have a bed and not just a frame! Then I will get new window treatments (plum silk panels?) and try to come up with some artwork that works on our 14 ft. high walls. That will be tough. The only bad thing about this whole venture is I'm not in love with the bedding I got for such a steal last year, but can't validate replacing it. So I'm going to decorate the whole room around bedding that is just so so. I hope I like it more when the project is finished. If you want to check out our new furniture, click here. We got it on sale, just in case you were wondering. : )

Eating Thai food at 9:30 with my best friend Kyle is quite delightful. He had to give an exam tonight and we both kind of skipped dinner, so sitting down to one of our favorite meals was a real treat. He's teaching three classes this term and has been busy, but it makes me love him even more when I see how much he still contributes to our household.

I took my sewing machine in to be serviced. It is a beginner machine and didn't cost much, but has served me well for 8 years. I'm starting to save up for a new one (if I can actually save my mad money and not spend it on cute things) and am thinking of a Janome or a Pfaff. Any recommendations? I am so excited to get my machine back and get working on a quilt. My friend EP sent me a pattern for one I want to try. It is called "Triple Threat." Sounds ominous.

I had a great post started in my head about how I was a mutant. But I can't write it now, because the test came back normal. Which is good, except now I can't explain why I have blood pressure problems when I'm pregnant and why we had that late pregnancy loss. Which is what the doctor is trying to figure out. In some ways it would have been easier if I did have that genetic mutation. And funnier.

I am itching to get outside and work in the yard. I hope the squirrels left a few bulbs for me to enjoy this spring. January has been unusually warm here (low 50's most days), but it is still very damp. I'm thinking I could probably plant some lettuce and spinach, and I most certainly need to pull up the dead annuals that are withered all over the beds. I think I'll just wait for a party cloudy, but not rainy, day and wear my boots. I may be a little too excited for spring to come, considering there are two more months of winter left.

And, finally, I made an appointment with the dentist. It's set. Then I can move on with my life and my goals. And from the looks of things, some goals are needed.

I hope you are having a lovely week. Thanks for reading and commenting. It really makes my day.
