I am terrible at blogging, etc.

Since the last time I posted:

1. School started.  I remembered what it felt like to wake up at 5 and not got home ’til 6.  It’s definitely easier as a second year teacher, but sometimes I still feel overwhelmed.
2. My house turned 60.  Happy 60th birthday, house!
3. I obtained and assembled several pieces of furniture: two beds, a desk, a bookshelf, and a chair (well, I didn’t assemble the chair so much as take the plastic off, but still).
4. I decorated and un-decorated for Christmas.
5. I hung a tablecloth over the windows in my kitchen and called it a window treatment.
6. My heat pump showed signs of age and got replaced.
7. It snowed multiple feet.  I was thankful for #6.
8. Other stuff.

So although I haven’t tackled any huge projects, things have been happening at the yellow brick house.  Hopefully I’ll add some pictures…if not soon, then at least when summer rolls back around.  I plan to be at home all summer, so my to-do list is long.

For now, here’s a few shots from when I hosted my book club the other week.  I had fun with two bunches of spray roses from Fresh Market…

The tablescape.

Flowers in a Jefferson cup.

Detail shot: tablecloth, napkin, my flatware.

So that’s what’s up.  Maybe I’ll be back!  In the mean time, my friend Lindsay has started a blog about married life and all the amazing things she cooks here.  She is much better at blogging than I am!
