graduation day

today is storm's graduation!! woohoo!!
i have so much to get done!!!
still need to stop at the grocery and pick up buns and pop. bakery said cake will be ready for pick up at 10am. commencement is at 2pm.
its supposed to be in the 90's today. omg!
i have so many pics to share and will have more after today.
we have one new porch light up, but not caulked, still dont have 2 sets of shutters on but those will definitely have to wait till after the party. i know, i know , i wanted it all done but it can't be helped. maybe no one will notice. lol

closer to the weekend.

omg!! we got some more painting done. i am so glad that this is not a yearly project.
new mulch is down around the pond, walkways and planting beds. it was so hot and humid out today. i felt like a wilted flower.

should i post the pics of my paper bag swap goodies?? or should i wait?? i think i will make you wait. lol

this has been such a busy, busy week!!
we have been trying to paint on the exterior for days. the rain keeps interfering. grrr!!
all the plants that i needed to plant are in the ground and preparations are on for storm's graduation on june 8th. keep your fingers crossed that the weather holds to finish the painting, put up the new porch lights, get the mulch down and set up the tables. all by saturday.
did i tell you that we just picked up another five gallons of paint, yesterday?? yes, thats right, yesterday..... and it rained today. do you see why i am getting stressed??

we rented 2 movies tonight. anyone watch "cloverfield" or "no country for old men" ? not that i have time to watch them tonight. lol its 10:14 pm and i am so tired and ready to get a shower. keeping my fingers crossed that i can watch them in the next few evenings.
oh, what is your favorite bubble bath, shower gel and body lotion??
i seem stuck on bath & body works. cinnamon bun heaven was my winter favorite but now i am using creamy coconut (since its summer and the smell reminds me of suntan lotion).

we made a big batch of taco salad for supper tonight. a plate of that and a large iced tea was wonderful!!


i need to do some new decorating. anyone have any ideas of americana themed ornie trees??
i have gardening items on mine and am ready to change for june and july. i need some inspiration!

i will post again soon.. i love blogging and all the new friends i have made..........
hugs, kim
