I bought new jeans two weeks ago, and they were so cute the first time I wore them! And then... they stretched out. Now, I know that's what "stretch" jeans do, but it always surprises me how roomy jeans can get. Today I could have slid them off my hips if I'd wanted to! Silly pants.
Pretty soon I'll have the shelves put up in my livey-diney-kitchen room! My mom gave me the number of a highly recommended finish contractor from her Stake, and he took measurements of my wall last week. I am proud that I was able to be specific in what I want. Of course, it's a pretty complicated project, what with the slanting wall, and the fact that the stone in the adjoining fireplace isn't even in any way. And I want it to be removable so I can string cords behind it. Oh, and I want the shelves to be varying heights. Tee hee! I love this idea! Mr. Camp gave me an estimate and I called him today to tell him I want to hire him. It was exhilarating! I've never hired anyone for something like this before! When I called him today, I felt like, well, how I imagine people feel when they call me to tell me I've been cast in a play! I was probably more excited about it than he was, but he seemed glad that I'd called back and was willing to pay the price he'd quoted. Geez, it was fun! Next week he'll make some additional measurements and he'll finalize the design. The plan is for him to build it in two parts, and then install it. If all goes well, it should be in in about a month... just in time to host a party or two... what better time than Christmas to throw a party?
I had planned to post a whole bunch of cool pictures of jack-o-lanterns, but I don't know where they went. Maybe I just looked at that email without saving the photos. Oh well, here's another photo with pumpkins in it:
and a photo of witches, just for fun:
Happy Halloween!
