and i'm moving along.
making time to do things that need to be done. even though time is slim to none.
the wallpaper border in the master bedroom is off. i finished taking it down yesterday evening. looked at the clock after i put my daughter to bed and figured, "what the hey...why not now?" and at 9.30 p.m. it was DONE.
now on to the tough part of the job: rubbing off the residual wallpaper glue.
i've googled a few home-made solutions that claim to do the trick. my mom is coming down to visit for a few days...i'm thinking of enlisting her help.
made barefoot contessa's peach raspberry shortcakes early last week.
not bad at all. having a really tough time with fruit. because of the early and consistent hot weather here (hot meaning a daily temperature of 80-mid 90 degrees), the fruit is ripening early...and rapidly. and, not holding up well. because of that, i'm not into my fruit desserts like i usually am this time of year. such a shame.
BUT, grilled salmon sandwiches are on tap for tomorrow night's dinner.
i'm a little "grill challenged", so this is guaranteed to be an interesting adventure for me. (interesting here defined as "resulting in a possible catastrophic outcome").
of course, my main focus right now is my photography class. it's been intense, right out of the gate. the homework assignments are definitely a challenge...they take longer...involve a lot of thought. hopefully, i'll be able to post the results of some of the photos from my first assignment. which aren't pretty. except they're mostly of my daughter, and i feel that my daughter IS pretty, so to say they're not would be putting her down. i should say that, technically, i'm not thrilled with them, but i'm pretty much starting from scratch again, relearning a few things...so, the outcome isn't what i want. but, it's what needs to happen to get to where i want.
make sense? hmmm. i'm sounding confused, which isn't good for first thing in the morning.
i'll leave you with a recent layout:

will be back with more updates. hopefully, i won't be drowning in a sea of wallpaper glue and lovely glue removal solution made by yours truly.

the best thing when we bought our house was a device you can pick up at Home Depot for like $10...called the Paper Tiger. it perforates the glue/residual paper so that when you spray the glue remove on the wall, it gets in there and works 10x faster.
love the layout!
you are an impressive girl. and you are too kind to me. the prior owners of our house hot glued the wallpaper on in the laundry room. try getting that off...
have fun with your mom!
