of course here is why i haven't put my stuff away...
I need to rearrange the scrap room to make room for my stuff, including installing new shelf units.
This means I have to remove the current big cabinet that is not functional for my needs right now.
But I have nowhere to put the big cabinet.
So I decide the best place would be in the dining room... right where the piano is.
So I decide to move the piano. But there is our old ratty couch there. I move the couch out to the garage for now.
The walls are filthy. I need to paint (I've been putting this off for months).
It doesn't make sense to move the piano over there before I paint.
Now I need to decide on the color...
OH YES! I'll inspire myself with some of my prize paper :)
SEI Seasoned... the green, the cream, and the blue. You can see it on this page: SEI Paper
I have a red wall in the dining room, so this will go quite nicely.
Of course now I am painting my whole room instead of just the one wall I intended to do all along.
But I will be much happier. And isn't that what's truly important here?
Off to Home Depot. I buy paint, tape, new rollers, and brushes.
The paint department guy looks at me like I am nuts when I show him the paper that he needs to use to match paint colors. But he humors me and mixes the paint.
I come home and tape off all the walls, baseboards, and light fixtures.
Rick and I paint. ALL DAY.
It looks FABULOUS.
We still need to do the stairwell.
I'll get to that tomorrow.
Then I'll move the piano.
Then I can move the cabinet.
THEN I can put together the new shelf units.
And *THEN* I can put away my new stuff. Maybe ;)

i love it! and i totally know the process you went through.... i go through it all the time when i am rearranging or cleaning! :)
love you!
If you give Jess free scrapbook supplies, she’ll want new cabinets to go with it.
Well if you give her new cabinets she’ll need to move the old ones.
And of course when she moves the old cabinets, she’ll want to put them where the piano is,
But when she moves the piano, she’ll need to pant first,
And chances are picking pant colors will remind her of her scrapbook paper.
ricky blogged!!!!!!!!
and yes, i do agree with the cycle of things going on in jessie's head! hahahaha
