Anticipation

I know that the frequent readers of 17th Most Popular (both of them) have been disappointed with our infrequent postings. What can I say, our lives are pretty boring.

I have missed a few opportunities to create posts, last Thursday Harry and I did go see a play in Charlotte with some friends. Two of our friends, Mark and Magen, performed in the play "Carrie Anne" which pokes fun at Mary Kay cosmetics (or at least that's what I got from it). I also went out with the girls on Saturday to celebrate the 26th birthday of my friend Megan (a different Megan). What can I say... we are slackers.

One thing that both Harry and I could admit, is that much of our life is anticipating what will come next. We are both excited about a household project that we are hoping to complete when we get a free weekend so I thought I would give you all a preview.

For those of you who don't already know, we are going to put in new counter tops (we as in Harry and I will be doing the work). We are going to rip out the old counter tops, put down 3/4in and 1/2in plywood, 1/2in backer board, thin set, granite tiles, and of course grout. We are also going to put natural stone tiles on the back splash and the front face of the counter.


Now can you see why we are excited? Look how pretty!

Another thing we (mostly I) am anticipating is SUMMER! 6 and 1/2 weeks of school left (that's 32 days, not that I am counting). This summer I am not going to teach summer school, in fact I don't really have any work planned, other than more house painting. Another fun part of summer is watching our peach tree grow fruit.


This picture reminds me that summer is still a ways off. The peaches are small, but as they grow my school year dwindles down. I can't wait till the peaches are HUGE!

I promise to do a better job posting. I'm sorry loyal 17th Most Popular readers, we have let you down.

Was I one of the two readers you were referring too?

The tiles look great. You and Harry should sent some time aside in the fall/winter and plan on going to Vegas with Clay and I...it will be a fun time had by all.

When I got home from work today there was a beat up box next to my door...thanks for the purse, it is so cute! Who knows where the pacakge had been...at first I thought it was something from Clay because of the condition of the box.

I promise to call soon!

I'm disappointed. No reference to your anticipation of a certain wedding in June. I am down-trodden.

Hey hey hey! I am a loyal reader too! I may even jump on the blog train this summer as well, since I have nothing planned.
The countertops look great! We are going to put new ones in soon as well, so let me know how it goes!
Talk to you soon.
Miss you guys.
