so, right now i am working on photos again as that is what feeds me. i dealt with the garage contractor guy this morning. he did a good job and will be back to do the bathroom when i can pick out some tile. sorry to say i dont know when that will be. the kitchen is a very very very slow process. our kitchen guy is wonderful, friendly, nice and slow, slow, slow. i wish i could work at his pace. life wouldnt be so hectic then. he is due to be back tomorrow but i will be at the dental office working. i have been kitchenless since may and expect to have a fully functioning kitchen soon. i hear the snickers - contrary to public opinion, i do need and USE a kitchen. this afternoon is maddy and alex's kickboxing class - i feel like such a cool mom to be able to say that. the only thing that would be better would be if i was taking it with them. i worked out this morning, despite teetering on having a cold. todd will be home tonight but very late. the worst part about having a husband who spends his week living near his job over an hour away is that i miss him terribly. i get awfully lonely for adult conversation at the end of the day. it wouldnt be so bad if i didnt like him, but he is my best friend and i wouldnt rather spend the evening talking to anyone else. i have to get some more photos done - the ones from the 50th anniversary party the day before yesterday. what a fun couple they were - kissing and laughing the whole night - beautiful love. i hope my photos can convey that - ut oh, here comes that voice of insecurity - go away! i am going to post some photos in a style that i havent shared before. i know it wont be to everyones liking, but i like it, and its my blog. so there.
