I'm a horrible blogger...

Well, it looks like busy season is here for those of us with "CPA" after our names. I've already started staying later in the evenings and our department is starting to work on Saturdays this week. Emma has gone to Florence on "vacation"--actually, my parents have custody from late January through mid-April. I've tried to visit with friends and family and savor sleeping in since I won't be seeing much of either for the next few months!!

In house-related news, I bought a dining room suite in Florence last weekend. I found it at one of the antique stores I hardly ever visit. (I've had much better luck at one right down the road.) I got an amazing price, so I won't feel bad to sell it one day if something else strikes my fancy. Now, I just need a large mirror for above the sideboard and a rug for under the table to make the downstairs complete. If I ever figure out how to post pictures from this app, I will post some pictures. Does anyone know how to do this from an iPad??

My bedroom is starting to come together as well. I got a duvet (finally) that I absolutely love. I still have to make the pillow shams to finish the bedding. I have an antique painting done by one of my relatives in 1906 that I am going to hang above the bed. I still need something to put my tv on, but now I at least have an idea of what I want. Always a work in progress...

There are still curtains to hang in the guest bedrooms, but at least they are made. I just need a pretty decorative rod for one of the rooms. Maybe I'll attempt that on Sunday?

I'm working on a new knitting project. We have a new group at work that is going to meet twice a month during lunch to knit. I'm making an afghan and it's such slow progress. It doesn't help that I made a mistake and had a whole row to take out. Maybe I'll finish it by July.

I would say I'll try to do a better job at blogging, but I don't want to lie. I know life is just going to get busier over the next few months, but I will try to post pictures once I get my dining room squared away.

Please, someone, teach me how to post pictures from my iPad!!

So glad we got to catch up last night!
