summer of the nephews

and so, here i am again, on the verge of another trip and again, just completely ignoring my to-do list. well, not totally - i did get together some pc games i would like to have in case chris tries to make me do chores. i leave in 2 days for TN, the 2nd part of a 2-part caravan heading north. i hope to catch the leaves changing; robbie says they have already started in iowa so i might be just in time for TN. im going to be an aunt again and because of the little "bean", my sister has been very tired. so i hope not to be a burden, but to take zeph off her hands, at least enough for her to get more sleep in the morning.

today the weather is breezy and mild, and only feels like 86. i have the windows open to disperse the paint smell from yesterday. of course, these walls are half finished and tomorrow looks to be another day full of rollers and paint trays and squinting eyes, trying to make a straight line without painters tape. already though, the transformation is dramatic. the color, flax, can look olive in some light, and grey in others. it compliments my electic style very well.

i have a style?

ill write more when im bored of "packing".
