Today's post is going to be a short one. I just wanted to give you a quick update, since I know you have all been waiting patiently to find out what's been going on in my life. I did end up going back to the thrift store yesterday to get that picture frame I had my eye on. It was a rustic goldish color, until I got my hands on it. I went right from the thrift store to the AC Moore, because I have decided I will do the projects as quick as I can, or I won't do them at all. After some spray paint, and some cork, the frame is now a beautiful cork board. I think it looks great, if I do say so myself.
The next project is going to be a new fireplace screen. We have a wire curtain thing now, which just lets hot and cold air flow freely in and out of the house; not ideal. I found a cheap fireplace screen with glass doors on craigslist for $25. So, instead of paying the $350 for a new one, I am going to find some fire resistant black paint and give the old brass screen a new life. Before and after pictures will be posted! :-)
You are probably wondering where the nun and the job come onto the scene since I jumped right into the bulletin board. I met up with my great friend Katie and the infamous Sister Karen for lunch in Pennsylvania, and it was a great time. Sister Karen is the sweetest woman I've ever met, and it was great catching up. Ah, to be in a convent again (yes, I lived in a convent for two years; no, I've not for one second ever considered becoming a nun). I think my body did not enjoy the cafeteria food... Katie, how did your body take it?
After lunch I got a phone call from the hubs wondering where my job interview was, which was scheduled at 5:00. I said "somewhere around Mt. Laurel, thinking I'd have plenty of time". I then check my phone to realize it is in Exton, Pennsylvania. So, I fly back to Jersey, change clothes, and fly back to Pennsylvania. I really hope the interview went well, but I can never tell about these things.
Now it is time for me to go... spending the evening snuggled on the couch with the birthday boy. Wondering what will happen if I take two five hour energy's... I may need it tonight.
