Obsession

I am obsessed with this photo.  Our back patio is just big enough at 23x14 to do something with it, and just small enough to not do much with it.  Current thoughts are to dedicate it to one single purpose:  the above.  Now.  Is the wooden arbor absolutely necessary?  Do you know how much $$$$ those suckers are? Or, could the same feel be achieved with some sort of metal gazebo, that a table could sit under, without creating the feeling of being a bird, in a cage. I'm not sure, but I am determined to make our back patio into a whimsical, vine infested, green space to enjoy summer evenings in.

class was saturday, and she talked for half of it, and we worked out for the other half.

and today?  today I hurt so bad, I feel so many muscles I didn't even know I had,

and it's misery.  pure misery.  Rhett knew what he was doing when he prepaid a hefty

little sum for 10 classes.  I have to go.

anticipate a lot of dramatics and whining to come..

"tomorrow, I will start my diet"

I've been saying that ... for about three hundred and forty-three days.

hopefully tomorrow it will really happen.

friday night we BBQ'd and hung out with the fam,

and there was a bubble machine involved.

see that beautiful, almost white, 

8 module (2 sections not shown in photo above)

sleek, contemporary sectional above?   

I don't know what to do with it!!!  

I loooove it, but it brings such a new feel to the house,

there are 101 possibilities of how to arrange it,

and man, I just don't know what to do.

I feel a total re-haul coming on.. 

-m-

it's a done deal!

update: SOLD!

oh my word, finally, finally, finallllly, the house is ours!!  We signed Monday and received a copy of the deed, with our name on it, yesterday.  The place we've called home for the past 2 years is ours.  All ours.  I won't lie, waiting for it to close put me in a slight tail spin.  It's taken the past 3 days to let out all that breath I've been holding for the past month.  I did post once on my anx over it this past month, and I deleted the post.  Why?  Cause it's my blog, and I don't wanna remember it.  ;)  All I can say, is the new air I'm breathing feels soo good.  The place is relatively new, so no major undertakings on the horizon, but finally all the little touches that "if we owned this place.." are on the real to-do list, and I can't wait.  Tomorrow, it begins.  Happy Friday!  -m-
