seven things on a sunday
1. I love the smell of trees in the spring/summer rain. (My allergies do not agree.)2. I love the smell of freshly cut grass. (My allergies do not agree.)3. I love early morning sunshine and the sound of birds chirping coming through my windows. (I don't enjoy chirping birds as early as 4 a.m. however.)4. What I thought was bad allergies (because they have been bad this month) turned out to be a cold. A doozy of one. Not a flu, just a cold. I have one week to get rid of it before my Spartan race so it had better go away soon! At least I now know why I was falling asleep before 7pm earlier in the week.5. We have had gorgeous weather all weekend. Everyone is outside cherishing the sun and not-too-hot temperatures. Winter was LONG. Too long. Generally I try to start planting Jinx's garden over this weekend (it's a long one in Canada) but the weather has been so crappy, we haven't even had leaves on trees until just this past week, so I chose to not try and plant things that might die. Hopefully by the end of the month. Also...6. I came home from work one day to find that Shawn had decided to de--wallpaper the powder room on the main floor. It had awful pink, checkered, wallpaper that we have hated since we bought the place 7 years ago. Of course we hate removing wallpaper more than we hated the paper, so it's stayed up. Anyhow, this has been a multi-day thing and he's still painting the bathroom. Wallpaper is awful. Don't do it. DON'T. I have been painting the baseboards and door frame that had to come off because the wall paper was UNDER them. It's been an ordeal. The bathroom look so much BRIGHTER now, just with white paint. It was always so dark in there and I guess it was because of that paper.7. We also had some repairs done to the car this week, so we were without a car for two days. Annoyingly, something is still rattling when we drive it, so I think Shawn might take it back on Tuesday (again, long weekend, so everything will be closed Monday and we only got the car back Friday night). The repairs were a long time coming and we've been holding off due to finances and whatnot, but I'm glad that's out of the way because it was some pretty broken stuff that is now fixed and I won't be scared to drive the car by myself now. (I didn't take any photos this week that would go well with today's post. So here's a dull photo-less post for you. ;))
