random (hectic) Monday
• Yesterday I took Eden to her first school friend birthday party. While I sat at Chuck E Cheese with the other moms, I kept thinking to myself, “I don’t feel old enough to be doing this!”
• We’ve been tearing our house apart and re-arranging for a relative who might move in with us. We should know soon if we’ll have a new roommate but we figured that the house could use a good organization anyway. We moved more of the kids toys into their room, so now I’m going to resume my search for a cheap, modern bunk bed. (Either that or find someone with a truck that wants to drive me 250 miles to Salt Lake City so I can shop at Ikea.)
• So all this re-arranging started with cleaning out the basement. Jim needed space for his home office and all his music equipment upstairs, so we decided that the kids would give up their play room. I moved all my crafting stuff out of our weird, hallway that goes nowhere (we’re talking floor to ceiling shelves worth of craft stuff) and the kids toys took up residency there. (Because the hallway is weird, there is a smallish space to play too.) Since the playroom was empty, we thought it would be a good idea to rip out the disgusting carpet and paint the floor. (I’m kind of obsessed with painted floors these days. Can you tell?) So that’s going to happen tonight before Jim moves in all his gear and my crafting stuff finds it’s way from the dining room floor to the new office.
• I’m also getting ready for a big, 20 person class Christina and I are teaching at a local church tomorrow. Because, you know, when it rains it pours!

Thank you so much for the lip balm recipe. I’ve been making a slow (but needed!) move to more natural and organic foods and products. Your recipe was so much more informative than anything else I was finding online. Thanks so much!

Oh god, the Chuck E. Cheese party. I don’t know if you’re EVER old enough for one of those.
Good luck with the renovation/organization. If you’re ever in Arkansas and feel like painting some floors, I’ve got a few for you! ;)

You are inspiring me to rip up the disgusting carpet in both of our kid rooms and paint the floors! Can’t afford to refinish the old ugly hardwood, so this might be a good alternative. What kind of paint do you use?

Are you still going to have your downtown office for 100wd?

Jill: oh, yeah, we just need a space for jim to work at home and somewhere to store all the guitar crap!
