I should be working out right now.

This blogging thing has really fallen by the wayside. Kate is in swimming lessons a couple days a week, so that makes us a little busier. I don't know - mess-maker #4 is getting older and better at making messes, so that magnifies my duties. But of course, mess-maker #1 is 7 years old, and could be of more help if I took the time to train her rather than do it myself because it's faster and less frustrating. Anyway...

The den is painted and sheers are up .Once I get actual panels up and a picture hung on the wall, I'll share pictures of the transformation.

We finally have panels up on the living room window. My, how we adjust to our surroundings. Accordion paper covering our windows became quite natural to me and we lived with it for over a year. I didn't even mind our guests seeing it. But now I just LOVE even having the living room window in my peripheral. It's so pleasant.

Hmmm, what to give up for lent. I don't want to give up the hard things, but I guess that's the point. I told Nathan, if I gave up my idols I could give up working out and cleaning the house. :) Maybe not. My other option is chocolate/dessert/alcohol/coffee. All those things I ingest to make me happy. Oh, what a grumpy few weeks we will have to endure.

Well, this really is my workout time. I should hop to it while the coffee is still in my veins.
