Maintenance Day

In the name of Spring Cleaning, I am having a handyman come and remove some wallpaper (courtesy the previous owners of our house) and do some painting. Yes, this is something I could do, but I'd rather do other things. I helped my friend Stephanie remove wallpaper, so I know what it's like.

Oil change? Check. Furnace cleaning? Check. I think I might wash the windows, too. Each window still has the outline of the factory sticker, which was removed upon installation a year ago. This year I can't just get new windows; I have to clean them. Good thing we got tilt-ins to make the job easier. Problem is, we live about 10 feet from a busy street and the cars kick up dirty water when it rains. Plus, Dear Riley likes to press her nose against the windows to see what's happening outside.

Still no pictures of little Travis. :( Can't wait to see that sweet little guy!

I took some time over the weekend to scan and post my current stash of bracelets and necklaces. Earrings are coming! I'm at my limit of web space with my current host, so I'm looking into some other options, which may involve some site downtime (who knows?).
