Walking Backwards

Thrilling experiences from a rather uneventful life.

Happy Fourth Of July! One of my least favorite holidays, but a holiday none the less. We are supposed to go out with my brother this evening and watch the fireworks downtown. It sounds like fun, but I can imagine getting there isn't going to be pleasant. They started closing down some of the feeder roads at one o'clock this afternoon to make extra parking for the fireworks display. We don't have to go into the thick of things, though. We are going to the top of the parking garage at my brother's work, which looks over all of downtown. I am also going to get to see some of my former co-workers, so that should be fun. I hope Nicholas likes it, he does rather enjoy loud noises. We have already had a full enough day that I would like to just lay around and watch movies, but we can save that for tomorrow. Somehow, Joe gets an extra off of work.


The bathroom is almost finished being painted, finally. We still have the wall over the sinks, but since we are going to rip a big hole in it to put the light fixture up, we figured we could wait to paint that until last. I love the color so much, a sky blue ceiling and lavender walls. We still need to pick up the new switch plates and fixtures, but I am really enjoying looking at my bathroom now. After all of the fixtures are up we get to rip out the carpet and stain and texturize the cement. Then come the baseboards and the cabinets. It seems as if this project is never going to end, but its great when we get one step of it done. It is making me a little hesitant about taking on any new home improvement tasks. Even though I really want to re-do my bedroom, I know how much work it is going to be. That knowledge alone is enough to stay my hand for a bit.
