Decorating
Posted: March 3, 2010 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well, Great Expectations 3 CommentsWe (mostly I) rearranged the living room to make way for a photo backdrop for the mustache party. Now there’s a big, beige, empty wall right when you walk into the apartment. What should I do with it? For the moment I’ve started hanging my giant crossword puzzle, but I realized that it’s so big the Bwun will be able to reach it (and tear it to shreds). Besides, I’m too short to fill in any of the top spaces. The thing is 7 feet tall.
How have you decorated empty spaces in your home? Any ideas for mine?

Posted: February 9, 2010 Filed under: Great Expectations Leave a commentI made a list the other night (when I couldn’t sleep) of all the things I need to do in order to get our apartment thoroughly cleaned and organized. It’s a fairly long list…we have 5 main rooms, plus the hallway, laundry room, and several storage closets.
But I did manage to get our bedroom tidied yesterday. Unfortunately I’m not a tidy person by nature, so there was a lot of mess to clean up. Mostly it required doing 7 loads of laundry. I had a bright idea a few months ago to do one load a day during the week – whites, darks, lights, the Bwun’s clothes, and towels/bedding. I figured that way there would only ever be one week’s worth of dirty laundry at a time. Guess what idea never got implemented?
I had planned to start organizing the Bwun’s room today, but then I remembered that I have to take my independent study final by next Monday. I should probably start studying…
Miscellaneous
Posted: January 28, 2010 Filed under: Great Expectations Leave a commentI’ve been inspired to clean our entire house. Deep clean and baby-proof. My goal is to finish by the end of February…I have two baby showers to host coming up, a wedding in California, the final exam for my Social Psychology class, and the Bwun’s first birthday happening next month, so we’ll see how feasible my timeline is. As a sidenote, I’ve started planning the Bwun’s party, and it is going to be so. Cool. You’ll wish you were invited. (You probably are.)
Also, we have the Romgi’s externship dates pretty much tied down. He’ll leave for Korea just after our anniversary and stay for a month, then a few days after he gets back we’ll take a week-long drive out to North Carolina. He plans to work at a firm in Greensboro for about four weeks, and (I’m so excited!) we get to spend an entire week just exploring the area. So I’d love to hear what you like about the East Coast – and anything between here and there – what we should definitely put on our list of destinations. This should be a really fun summer for us. After North Carolina, and another week driving back, we’ll stay put in Provo and relax until school starts again.
Good times, I hope!
