i have so much to complain about. nawt.

Man o man. I have never been the best balancing act... but this house, my unemployment (the juggling part would be the job search), the puppy, attempting to nurture my relationship with my husband, still be a good daughter, sister (LOTS of work) and friend... is a lot. I am the queen of loathing people with problems like mine who complain about them:

"...between my therapist, life coach, psychologist, nanny, housekeeper, tanning salon and play dates I can hardly keep my head on straight..."

BUT I really do feel a bit dizzy and overwhelmed. I think what the whole part that makes it
hard for me is that MY HOUSE IS FILTHY. Bentley Court is like the San Francisco bridge... the second I sweep the house I might as well start over again... Anywho, between my new house, my new kitchen and new appliances, and my my new huge closet and cute puppy and new husband who looks like Bradley Cooper, I can hardly find the time to blog about all of my new stuff. Ugh. I do make my hypocritical self sick.

New things that I love at the moment.

1. this little puppy. here she is posing with painters plastic, drywall, and some drill bits. poor thing thinks these items are toys.
2. the dark stained beams in our kitchen. i am sooooo glad we did it.3. our new turquoise door. did i wake up last friday saying "i will paint the door today"?, no. but i did run in to some left over paint from our old apartment and i think it looks pretty cute. (note- i have no idea why our puppy looks so sad).4. that our house is almost a habitable place. almost. and that they skies are so blue and inviting to walks with the pup while i look at other neighbors trim and shutter colors. old am i.5. the book i am reading "the help". i am pms-ing and crying a lot and sometimes that just feels gooooood. thanks allie.

6. That this is considered fashionable. Because I hate to brush my hair and wash my clothes too.
7. This:

I dont really even know what week it is...

But we have a lovely sunroom that has completed paint... the big blotch of light is the sun setting! not quite over the ocean or anything, but i will take a sunset from my bedroom ANY DAY!
but! WE HAVE CABINETS! and appliances! i have a SINK! US Appliances was by far the best deal for Bosch appliances AKA Big Girl Appliances. I am so excited! No countertops- but a SINK!
