June already?!

Hello! I'm back after a long absence, I know. It's been busy like usual. We are getting some bad t-storms tonight, will probably last through the night. And the forecast for the next 10 days has rain every single day! I'm really tired of it, although it's good for my flowers. My impatiens are doing really well. My geraniums have wilted but new buds are starting to flower, so I think it's all just part of the process. I want to get a hanging plant for the front of our house this weekend. Flowers just make houses look so nice!!

We were supposed to have our annual Pro Step (that's the company I work for) picnic tonight at Como Zoo, but it was postponed due to the storms. We're having it sometime in the next two weeks. Should be a good time. I'll take some pics if I can and post them later.

They finally hired another speech therapist for the other facility I've been covering, Golden Valley. So I've been going there and to Richfield everyday for the past 3 months! It gets old, let me tell you. But she starts on the 16th, so only a little more than a week to cover there. Her name is Sarah :( but at least it has an 'h' so that makes me better. Haha, jk.

So I like our new window treatments, but Justin doesn't. After he put the first one up, he didn't like them, so I said don't put any more up, we'll just take the loss (non-returnable after being cut to our size windows) and get miniblinds. But he put them all up anyway. The problem is, they are room darkening cellular shades. So it's basically pitch black in our room no matter how sunny it is outside. This past weekend, it was so dark in there we slept till 11 both mornings!! I can't believe Bear let us sleep that long! He musta been liking the dark too. But then when we realized that most of the morning was over before we even woke up, we didn't really like it. So now we have to decide what to do. The miniblinds we got for the bathroom actually look really nice, nicer that our old school miniblinds. They make them much nicer now. So I guess I wouldn't mind having those all over in the house, but Justin said putting up the brackets for the miniblinds was a pain in the a**! Here are a couple of pics:

Cellular shades that we have in the office and our bedroom

Miniblinds in the bathroom (better where there's more condensation)

We were maybe going to go camping this weekend, but we're supposed to get storms again. But we have some things around the house we want to do: paint the walls around the windows in our bedroom, get more flowers, clean out the storage room, clean the floors, vacuum out my car. And I want to lay out in the sun if it doesn't rain too much!! I did last weekend and it was awesome. Feels good to get a little color so I'm not so pasty white.

And the usual before I go:

This is as close as I'll get to sleeping on the bed.

Ok, gonna run. You're welcome for the update. :) Give me ideas for a new poll!

Peace out, my people.
