Back In The Saddle

I guess you could say that I had taken a short hiatus from blogging, but this week it's been very therapeutic to blog. I've been blogging over at Cafemom daily, but I decided to turn more of my attention here to my "spot". I think there is a special freedom in putting your thoughts and ideas into words. So, I'm going to try to blog here more often. Plus, there are some fabulous blogs that I like to keep up with and get ideas from...decorating mostly. I am so in the mood for fall and all that it brings. I'm ready for autumn hues, pumpkins, cooler days, mulled cider, harvest festivals, state fairs, sweaters, clear nights with stars shining bright (there are some awesome telescope moments during the fall), football games, and campfires. I'm ready for FALL! Bring it on! I've been doing a DIY project at my house. Last Sunday, this crazy urge came over me to rip out all of my carpet in my living room, and that's just what I did. I tore it all out and went to Lowe's the same day and purchased some new laminate flooring. It's red cherry wood and it's going to look beautiful...when it gets finished...which seems like NEVER! This whole week, my husband and I have been working every evening on the floor...it's became the dirty "f" word at our house. Don't mention the word, *loor!

Here's a pic of the progress...

I'm hoping that with the weekend here, we can finish it and be done. Then...FINALLY...I can break out all of my fall decor and decorate! WOOHOO! I can not wait! I'll post pics when everything is back in order. Oh, and by the way, if you see the *loor fairy or the cleaning fairy...could you direct them to my house? Thanks! I would really appreciate it!
