Project 365- #2



I started a project. I mean, I resurrected a project that has lain dormant for four and one half years. This is obviously a giant sized project for me. So big, I can't get over it. See the wallpaper glue on this bathroom wall? What is the best way to remove it anyway? I can visualize me painting this wall, but getting it prepped to paint....whoowee!


I did get this curriculum organization project somewhat under control, but not completely finished. Do public/private school teachers ever wait until the 11th hour to make out the first week/month of lesson plans or decide exactly how they are going to teach a subject? Probably not. This is an ongoing project. I like the way sheets smell after hanging on the clothesline and flapping in the breeze. I don't hang jeans out though, makes them too crunchy.
Reminds me of a nursery rhyme I like: The king was in his counting house counting all his money, the Queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey, the maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes.....I guess you know what part I am playing here.




When Fash was 8 years old, she was sitting in church doodling and she wrote this (see below) in her notebook. There must have been a play going on in church that day. The days of Fash not being in the play that's going on, are gone. Fash landed the part of Lily St. Regis in the musical, Annie, that will be performed by a local theater in March. (In the musical, Lily and her boyfriend, Rooster, Ms. Hannigan's brother, try to trick Daddy Warbucks into thinking Annie is their long lost little girl in order to get the monetary reward) Congratulations Fashionista!

Believe it or not, trying to align both of these ziplocker strips, in order to get this bag closed, became a real project that caused me to yank open my kitchen drawer, remove every bag that has a double zip strip and shove them all into the trash can. Don't buy these kind, it's like trying to get the stars and planets to line up just right so the craters in the moon are more visible. The veggies begin to wilt just thinking about having to wait in these bags while someone tries to get them sealed into freshness.



This is how I usually handle fix-it projects around our house. It seems to work fine.



Here's my Thanksgiving project. See. I got a head start on this one.

(Is it "has lain"? Is that correct or not? Someone please tell me.)
