Ahhh coffee- I ground enough beans to brew myself two cups, and just sat down with a big Mickey Mouse mug filled with coffee, a splash of cream, and a touch of Splenda- not much, just enough to give it a hint of sweetness. I’m curious to the flavor, since I’ve never bought it before, and is called Roma Espresso. I’m sure it can’t beat my all time favorite, Illy, but I enjoy trying different types, and now that I’ve had a sip, I can say that it’s good.
Marcel decided to take a nap. He’s tired after doing a little painting in the kitchen today. I’m still unsure why he chose a rainy day to paint, but at least he got it done, and for that I’m grateful. Unfortunately, the paint fumes and my allergies do not mix, but at least we are able to close off that part of the house and unless I go into the kitchen, I won’t smell it.
Marcel and I have been talking about home improvements. There are several things that we’d both like to do, one of which being adding crown molding throughout the house, plus replacing all the doors throughout. We’ve gone back and forth on whether to actually do that, because we would love to sell this place and move to something a little larger in the near future, but right now- with the selling markets being the way they are, I’m not sure that’s going to be realistic in the next few years.
Personally, I’d like to do the improvements anyway, since it will raise the value of our home, but Marcel sees it as wasted time and energy. I do understand his point, but what can I say- I love the idea of a new, fresh look. I guess we’ll eventually come to a decision.
Right now, while everything is quiet- I believe I’m going to work on my brothers ’40 things about me on my 40th birthday’. I wanted to make the list for him and have mom read it to him at his birthday bash- a little something that brings us closer to being there, even though we can’t be there physically. I ordered his gift today, which I know he’ll love. It’s golf related, and ANYTHING golf related is A-OK in his book.
