one year

So today is the one year anniversary in our house.  In honor of this auspicious occasion* we are finally cleaning/organizing our pantry.  By "we" I mean Stick, since it's painfully obvious that I have NO organizing skills whatsoever.  I did however clean out the cabinet above our kitchen desk, which has also been a disaster since the day we moved in and started stuffing things into it helter skelter.  (Not exactly a major organizational overhaul, but I can recognize junk when I see it and throw it away. Yay me.)

In the year we've lived here we've accomplished quite a few things.  Organizing the basement isn't one of them, but that's what this next year is for, right?

-painted fence.  (FYI- Worst. Job. Ever.)  Coincidentally, we barely finished this morning.
-planted garden.  It would appear that we only planted weeds, but we do think there are a few plants in there.  Now that we finished that beast of a fence, we'll go investigate.
-pulled out several overgrown nasty bushes from yard.
-planted lots of flowers.
-planted several fruit trees.  It's a little unclear now if they are still living or if we killed them.  Boo.
-installed new basketball standard.
-painted front room aka piano room aka Home Teacher room.....I never know what to call that room.
-painted kitchen.  Seriously considering finishing this job soon.  (The beadboard that's supposed to be at the lower part of each wall). What?  I only started it 10 months ago.  Not even a whole year has passed!
-painted Hootis' room.
-hung blinds in a couple of windows that didn't have them.
-thought about painting the rest of the bedrooms...didn't actually do anything about these thoughts.
-thought about turning the empty formal dining room into our office.
-thought about formally proclaiming the boys bathroom a natural disaster site.
-thought about how much I HATE the white "fake tile print" vinyl floor in the kitchen.
-thought about how someday we will replace it will something the color of "grass mixed with dirt mixed with crumbs" so I'll be happy in my (misplaced) thoughts that the floor is clean because it looks clean.
-thought about painting our room the perfect shade of sea blue/green
-thought about the fact that my dresser top is also in the running for a natural disaster site.
-thought about the fact that after one year, one of the bedrooms has dry boogers on the wall next to ____'s bed.
-ick.

So if you count all the things we've actually done this year and add them to the things I "think" about doing, we are TOTALLY AWESOME!  Happy one year to us and our house (with it's new boogers)!
