Here is the new vacuum cleaner that looks like a space ship. It is actually much easier to vacuum here in this house than the other. I can actually get to the plugs easier. And the cord is longer so I only have to change plugs once. LOL The inside cannister comes out when you need it to...for like doing stairs.
Here is Tugie's Everyday Window....often she is there looking out the window for us when we come down the driveway...and that picture on the floor will be hung as soon as I find the hammer and a nail.
The picture will go right in the middle there giving that center space something to behold. LOL It is hard to get a picture in this room b/c of the lighting. But here are the new curtains. I know they are not very full but I'm happy with them for now until we redecorate. I did not like the frilly...I can take this...not frilly. LOL
I was here most of yesterday....typing up essays for my exam questions. I've only completed 4 all weekend. I have 6 more to go plus two discussion board questions and 2 replies to other students questions. Still a long way to go before May 16th. Ahhhhhh. Once finished with this entry, I'm going to go do another one. Hubby is fixing breakfast today (grits) so that will help so I can concentrate.
Hubby did my spray painting project for me...He spray painted the table that used to be on our screened in porch for me. It still needs a couple of cans though before it is ready to put in our sun room. We'll be eating out there quite a bit in the sun room.
Hubby mowing yesterday....he had a hard time. He got the front mowed but the mower's gears quit working. Ouch...he is going to try to fix it, if not he'll find someone around here to fix it, and if that doesn't work he will have to buy a new one. (argh). So he had to push mow the rest of the yard. Total we have 1.77 acres so it took a while. I offered to do the back yard but he wanted to do it.
I like my little corner of the world .....I actually read a chapter in Valerie Bertinelli's book last night. I finished putting up all my books unless Hubby finds more of them. LOL I did not put up the cookbooks yet though. But...I'm happy to say that putting up my books made me want to read for pleasure (not school) really bad. I miss it. Oh and you can see the color of the curtains here and how well they match the bed, which is why I jumped on them.
Looking out the front living room window at the pretty iris bed.
Hubby worked hard last night reorganizing the spices. As much as we like to cook, we have collected a lot of spices and seasonings. He had to add some racks up at the top. All the less frequently used items at the top, more frequently used at the bottom.
One of our favorite new things is this step stool. It is used daily. This kitchen has a lot of cabinets. Some of them are way up high...but not a problem...I can get to things easily. I've used this a lot this week in dealing with the curtains in the house. And lookie at Smokie...she was about to jump up there and check out Hubby's spice handiwork. LOL
And that is all the pics. Despite having to concentrate on school, I fixed brunch, did laundry, cleaned and/or put together something in nearly every room, emptied some boxes, planned paint & decor for the future, brought more boxes up and unpacked a few and then brought more up. I fixed pasta salad, kielbasa and iced tea for a meal at 3:30. Our meals were a bit off as I slept til 9:00 yesterday. LOL It was ready just in time for Hubby to get thru with mowing. So it was a good day for me.
Hubby enjoyed his day except for the mower situation. He got a lot done too. We have both been non-stop.
TheTeen? Well, she slept late, fixed bagel bites, played on the PC, made plans for her social life, and then I had her to fold clothes for me and reboot another load into the dryer. I was very proud of her though. She brought a book and sat in the sun room and read while I did my school work. We opened the windows to the sun room so the breeze came thru the screens, and turned the ceiling fans on out there and it was very nice. We took her and FriendK to see Maid of Honor and Hubby ran in Best Buy to get something he needed to hook up downstairs stereo. FriendK 's parents picked them up and brought them home. They also went to Best Buy. LOL I think that is funny.
Well today I will once again do my studies, but we have to go to the grocery, and also I need to go to Target and get TheTeen's blinds and curtain rods and a few other things.
Hubby keeps telling me to go pick out a sofa for downstairs and a small table for our kitchen. I also think this is funny. He NEVER tells me to go pick out furniture. The downstairs is "his spot". LOL We are also going to paint down there and get rid of that wall paper, as I have said a thousand times about every room with the wall paper. LOL
Oh, I turned the light on in the guest bedroom and was scared to death....two heads shot up from the bed... It was Bob and Gizmo. They have been allowed to come up into this part of the house now that they go outside and have developed a routine here kinda like the old house. They had found the guest bed. And were all curled up on it. I scared them with the light and they scared me. I had not been used to them being there. LOL
Everyone have a good day.

Love all the pictures Sonya!! Such lovely views from all the windows. Oh I do love the bedspread and curtains!! Awwww, look at Tugie enjoying the window spot. Wow are your spices organized. I totally am inspired to re-organize my spices now. LOL. Yesssss is that ever the space ship kinda vacuum!! Yay a new sofa and table!! Fun buying new furniture!! Can't wait to see what you decide on. Yes, we saw the horse break her ankles and it was so terribly sad. No one can quite figure out exactly when it happened. We are all wondering if she ran with them broken for a while or not because she finished second place. Such a tragedy. We were so sad and stunned. The winning horse did awesome, coming out of the worst place ever to start in the farthest lane possible.... that was a joy to see; so it ended up being a bittersweet race and very exciting day in KY. Hugs,
