an update (someday I'll be creative again)
I am a horrible blogger who doesn't even deserve the few readers I have who may be still checking in here from time to time. I just haven't been particularly inspired lately I guess. I've also been preoccupied with paint colors, paint decisions, and far too much painting. It's exciting that we're at the point of painting in the basement and I kind of enjoy the actual work, it's the color selection that drives me insane! Why, oh why can't the color look the same on the walls as it does on the little card thingie? I've learned that being brave enough to deviate from shades of tan is not always a good thing. The "toasted sunflower seed" selection I chose for the spare bedroom somehow became more of a "mustardy orange at dawn" after it dried. I keep trying to convince myself (and Jer) that we like it, but I'm sure some repainting is in my near future. Tan is good.
In other news, after a failed eye screening and a letter from the school nurse, Jenna is following in her sister's footsteps and is now sporting a new pair of glasses! Well, she assures me she's wearing them at school anyway. This is her the day she got them. She's also modeling a prototype of the pie she made for the annual 5th grade pie contest at school. She made another one that turned out better for school and we ate the first attempt. :)
Kendall's enjoying having some actual free time now that the play's over. She's been sucked into the Twilight craze and is currently on the third one. I'm also reading Twilight now and something is obviously very wrong with me because I'm finding it rather....boring (GASP!) I realize I'm the only person of the female persuasion who feels this way, so it's obviously a flaw in my brain chemistry or something. Kendall assures me that the books get more exciting and I'm currently at the point where James the bad vampire is after Bella, so things are looking up. Anyway, Kendall is also trudging her way through "Oliver Twist" for her advanced english class & not liking it so much. It seems to be more bearable with a furry friend on her lap.
Thanksgiving was great and it's full speed ahead to Christmas! That reminds me, The Grinch (Jim Carey) is on tonight! When you don't have cable, this is exciting stuff. :)
