Procrastination is My Middle Name

I'm here to make you feel better about yourself, so let me just tell you about my procrastination skills. We have lived in this house for over five years now. Coincidentally, there's a list of unfinished projects that happens to be about five years long.

There is a whole lot of painting that has never been finished. For example, I painted about half of the trim in the master bedroom a few years ago. But only half.

The carpet in the family room needs repaired. I plan to get to that ... some day.

There are still boxes in the basement and garage that have never been unpacked. Eventually I'll just throw them away since there's really no point in unpacking them now.

Very little artwork has been hung. Even fewer framed portraits are on the walls.

But ... but! I was snowed in this weekend! So! I tackled some of those things!

Sort of.

I began hanging a gallery wall that I first started a few years ago. It's not done, but it's a lot more done that it was before Mila helped me start pounding some nails into the wall. While I was at it, I hung up the first portrait of the Tiny Human. Her ultrasound pics are still on the fridge, but at least now there are a few other pictures that more effectively show off her face.

Before I could work on that wall, though, I had to acknowledge that maybe Alexis' birthday party is over. Maybe it was time to take down the decorations in the dining room. (The playroom ones are staying forever. Don't even try to make fun of me for that.) Maybe it was time to pop all of the balloons that had been getting kicked all over the house for a whole month.

But not until after I plopped a couple of kids in the middle of the giant pile of balloons and took some photos.

I'm going to conveniently forget that those balloons had been all over the house for a month for no good reason. It's better that way.
