where have i been?

has it been a week?  good goodness...  it isn't that i haven't had things to say.  it isn't that i don't have pictures to share.  it may be that it took us most of the four days of our four day weekend to paint, etc our guest bathroom.  it may be that i have not turned on my computer since last sunday.  (my mini-computer-phone makes this feat less of a feat.)  it may be that, although i have words and pictures galore, i have found myself in a bit of a funk as to how to put them all together.  and, instead of taking this as a challenge, i cowered.  i slept.  watched tv.  helped ben paint our bathroom the most beautiful grey.  mastered mashed potatoes and boxed stuffing.  checked my rss runner app over and over and over again.  hoping to read someone else's words so that maybe i could find some of my own.

this week promises the following:
-before and after pics of our bathroom
-before and after pics of my new hair  :)
-at least one poem

thanks for hanging in, friends.  i hope to reward you ten-fold.

xoxo, emily b.
