Failure to Blog

I tried to write a post two months ago, and couldn't string sentences together to make any sense.  That's how bad the winter was, I guess.  I don't know why, but for some reason winter felt like it would be the end of me.  When the enormous, filthy snowbanks finally melted, I realized just how tired and frustrated I was.  It took me a while to feel better.

I think maybe I have been having what is popularly known as a mid-life crisis.  Though it doesn't feel so much like a crisis as a . . . mystery, precipitated by the fact that pretty much everyone I know is on the verge of a major life event.  Since I'm not planning a wedding or a baby or a graduation or a new house or a new job, what am I supposed to be doing?  What's next?  More of the same until I retire?

Heck if I know.  And I don't really want to think about it any more, because what would be the point of that?

SO.  This means projects, lots of projects:

I painted the bathroom a blue called "Healing Waters"--a color I found at a big box home improvement store and had matched in Benjamin Moore's Aura formulation.  (The Aura paint has amazing coverage and is low-VOC and scrubbable.  Big thumbs-up for that paint.)

For my next painting projects, I'm pondering "Butter" for the kitchen and "Bee's Wax" for the dining room (both Valspar colors).  Painting will be a great project for when . . .

J will be at summer camp for two weeks.  We have a long, long packing list full of things that need to be bought.  And then we have to attach name labels to all those things.  And then pack them, somehow.

There is a small island of weed-infested grass between the driveway and the alley that I want to turn into a flower garden.

See?  Projects!
