post the fifth, 2013

last saturday we took down a wall. today, we ordered new windows. one step at a time, right? i mean, really, we aren't in a big hurry but it's nice to make progress. the windows guy seems both reliable and honest, and the goods are quality. for a bit over twice the price of having the windows painted (wood trim, paint peeling, eventually decays) we can have new windows, new vinyl trim, and he's also going to trim up the garage door frames, which look fairly terrible and will also eventually fall apart. so, wall down. windows ordered. excellent first steps.

in other news, i've ordered a pair of new boots, two skirts, two shirts, and a sweater, and tonight i purchased another couple tops and a tunic. why? because my wardrobe needs a make over, too! also, i am going to NYC in about 5 weeks for a Big Important Conference and i want to look like i know what i'm doing. i mean, of course, i DO know what i am doing, but people tend to judge a book by its cover, no matter what they might tell you.
