I think this is wonderful and I also think we should think of these things more often. Thanksgiving is two days away and we will be traveling to visit my family in Upstate NY (no this is not by NYC). Life has changed for me in a lot of ways since we moved up to Michigan. I am thankful to be closer to all of our family. Although I do not see everyone as much as I would like... I am thankful that at times like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other times in between we are able to be together. I am thankful for my husband, Mike. He has moved around the country with me, supported me in my career and life in general, he is truly a blessing. For my friends far and near. I have great friends around the country from my various stages in life. I miss you all so much and wish each one of you would move into my neighborhood yet I am so glad I can call you friend. I am thankful for Zoomer the cat... I fear that he is getting close to his next journey... but I love him in all of his crankiness. I am thankful for Molly the dog. The best dog and pit bull a girl could have. She brightens our lives and snuggles like no other. I am thankful for my running group. They have blessed me with balance, friendship, and have pushed me to be healthier and faster (literally). I am lucky to have found them and look forward to many years to come as we run and share life together. I am thankful for JJ, my awesome two year old son. He brings joy, light, happiness, and frustration and I am so blessed to have him in my life. I hope that I can be the mother he deserves as we all grow together as a family. I am reminded everyday as a chaplain that life is short and we all of something to be thankful for. May you in this holiday season and beyond remember that you too have much to be thankful for.Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-79256605432229254742013-07-19T09:17:00.000-07:002013-07-19T09:17:37.081-07:00Jo, Lizzy, and MeI have not been keeping up with my reading challenge. It has almost been a year and I am still "suppose" to be reading <u>A Tale of Two Cities</u>. Don't get me wrong I have read things but am having a problem just reading what I am "suppose" to read. Yesterday I just finished reading <u>The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott</u> by: Kelly O'Connor McNees <a href="http://kellyoconnormcnees.com/books/the-lost-summer-of-louisa-may-alcott">(link to book here)</a>. I would recommend this book to any lover of the book <u>Little Women.</u> It was a wonderful historical fiction novel and started me thinking. I have always been drawn to Jo in <u>Little Women</u> and Elizabeth in <u>Pride and Prejudice</u>. But why? As I read this fictional account about Louisa May Alcott's lost summer I realized the reason... Jo, Elizabeth, and even Louisa May Alcott herself did not fit into the cultural norms for women in their time. They found their calling, who they are and wanted to be, and no one would get in their way. I stand at a point in my life where I feel very much the same. I am a chaplain, an ordained pastor, wife, and mother. I work full time, am the supervisor for my department, and am the "bread winner" for my family. In a world and culture that states it embraces working moms I find that this is not always true. I stand with Jo and Elizabeth seeing that my road is difficult in many ways. I did not know all those years ago when I would read and reread <u>Little Women</u> and <u>Pride and Prejudice</u> that Jo and Elizabeth would be my role models in many ways as are the women who wrote these characters. I wish I could sit down for tea with Louisa May Alcott and Jane Austen and discuss life, the characters they created that mean so much to me, and how to find balance in this very unbalanced world.Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-75557273514498811442012-09-20T06:36:00.000-07:002012-09-20T06:36:47.982-07:00And it begins...<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I finally finished reading Betty White's latest book. It was a fun read and really should have been a quick read but many days I opted for sleep on the bus instead of reading. Too bad I can't read and sleep... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So this morning I begin the reading challenge. I decided to begin with something that was already on my Nook... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">A Tale of Two Cities by
Charles Dickens. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I have wanted to read Dickens for awhile so that it was a good place to start. We will see how long it will take me to complete this task. There are a lot of books on the list but I think it is worth while. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So today September 20, 2012 I begin this reading journey....</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Wish me luck!</span></span><br />

Oh well... I will do what I can. Today I found the "Rory Gilmore Reading List" on another blog. I LOVE the Gilmore Girls. I can quote every episode and have always admired Rory's love for books. It mirrors how I was at her age and how much I want to keep books a part of my life and instill that love for books and reading in JJ. So here is the list:</span><br />

Over a year!Well hello everyone!!! Please it has been a long time since I blogged.... Shame... shame on me. ;) Since I have blogged last I have been pregnant (hence the lack of blogging I was a very tired pregnant mommy), had JJ in September, was hospitalized myself about two weeks after delivery... had an extended maternity leave... and started back at work in December. Now it is April.. JJ is 7 months old and I am now a full time mommy, wife, and chaplain. I have decided to blog again. I hope you will forgive me for my long time away and will enjoy future posts.Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-66136832248587979542010-10-06T17:52:00.000-07:002010-10-06T17:57:16.147-07:00My half marathon time!<div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;">3:07:19</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span> </div><div align="center">More details and pictures to come.</div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-87096218797183212292010-07-10T09:52:00.001-07:002010-07-10T10:07:27.251-07:006 Years<p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVsVKuflRh5ksqlZKGec_0hLP8FlgdN4PEAGIXVR_OyssnCzP8qmMPABia1xmT1mZJYlXFRQSP_q14pAEk5fnGcZD_o4hYO6ZvEIoTo5HbaYuWt4IboCXJSD0WN5E4phTY1buX53df0Qr/s1600/6+july+2010+download+171.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492323868212724114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVsVKuflRh5ksqlZKGec_0hLP8FlgdN4PEAGIXVR_OyssnCzP8qmMPABia1xmT1mZJYlXFRQSP_q14pAEk5fnGcZD_o4hYO6ZvEIoTo5HbaYuWt4IboCXJSD0WN5E4phTY1buX53df0Qr/s320/6+july+2010+download+171.jpg" /></a></p><br /><div align="center">Mike and I have now been married for six years.

I plan to run a few races (5K and 10K) in anticipation of the big race and also for training. I am really excited to do this race at Disney, with my sister Kathy.<br />I also also looking forward to seeing all of my friends in FL while I am down there.Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-84188517369218993192010-06-22T09:57:00.000-07:002010-06-22T10:01:42.466-07:00First HarvestThe lettuce in my garden and been growing really well and fast! Yesterday I harvested the both of my red leaf lettuce and a head of the "regular" leaf lettuce. I have two big Tupperware containers in the fridge now and brought some to my friend Sam last night. I am hoping that I will be able to get another harvest from these plants by the end of summer. We will see how it goes! I also have some tomatoes and green peppers starting to grow.<br />If you have a good recipe to use with these lettuces please share it with me. My only bright idea is salads. :)Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-5279997020738903412010-06-18T16:09:00.000-07:002010-06-18T16:30:18.412-07:00Pictures from May<p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHp50zp4edubc41ic3rG7WCd_MvGs00JPqVgMkJnBZQvaCAc1DlkHGBe1zGTG5pmPX-PHCPS_MN6uXb5iY0TqPnYyoZ9lWRW1DVGMOOvKI8itRehUPWSyIRCN-E4aS1MmheWZK_7qLLGBi/s1600/DSCN2244.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

My garden at that point in my life was a big tractor tire with dirt in it. Every year I would fill it with petunias or as I grew older different and varied flowers. This started my love of gardening and I do still like petunias. </div><div align="center">We also had a vegetable garden at the house on Congdon Road behind the barn. Fresh vegetables from my dad's garden was just a way of life and I had hoped when I got my first house that I would be able to grow my own vegetable garden. </div><div align="center">Yesterday I bought lots of vegetable plants and a few flowers for my garden beds in the backyard. This evening I planted rosemary, basil, peppers, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, and a blackberry bush. I hope that it will grow well and yield enough vegetables and fruit to share. I am really excited and hopeful. It has taken a lot of work to get these beds ready but I will tend to my garden. </div><div align="center">As I was finishing planting a butterfly came into the garden to visit. Maybe it really was dad coming for a visit and hopefully blessing not only the garden, vegetables, fruits, but me as well. </div><div align="center">Now I may not be the petunia lady but maybe one day a child will remember me in the same fond way I remember her. </div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-11187771357282923022010-04-19T17:05:00.000-07:002010-04-19T17:15:39.925-07:00Spring Has Come<span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;">Spring has come to Michigan. The trees are budding and the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">temperature</span> is beginning to be warmer. Spring reminds me that we are all renewed in the many seasons of our lives. This spring is renewing me. I am beginning to work in our yard and I trying to plan out my garden. This is spiritual work tending a garden and being outside in the beauty that is nature. Go out and tend your own garden whether it is the garden in your yard or the garden of your soul. </span>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-54855254300754762222010-04-09T20:04:00.000-07:002010-04-09T20:08:49.628-07:00Molly<p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQO6AXy3xrsCIzWomMNNq7Eq7MABeVIyLz02i9g-egT9SGAp_5gs5UE98BPvh0Y07y-5_cQiZShsm-ZOBw7Xa6oM31BMTZDas-x3JyJsU4TlZ9PUnzyBl9QuKsa-RXpn-sI5nIVvO3YqO0/s1600/DSCN2198.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458340253322794610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQO6AXy3xrsCIzWomMNNq7Eq7MABeVIyLz02i9g-egT9SGAp_5gs5UE98BPvh0Y07y-5_cQiZShsm-ZOBw7Xa6oM31BMTZDas-x3JyJsU4TlZ9PUnzyBl9QuKsa-RXpn-sI5nIVvO3YqO0/s320/DSCN2198.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrM-OHtpPyOnHp-6ctQzlsCMVCCrrb8K_EuopiXrpN_YQYfH9FAugkf85uwnxi0ztfxZoSGusppzzozB-0KwOAHxOWt5odBqsLiuFA_osR2ayh1d777bw31qJOdAuEmcuBfZjEF_1FhfWX/s1600/DSCN2197.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458340241241103746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrM-OHtpPyOnHp-6ctQzlsCMVCCrrb8K_EuopiXrpN_YQYfH9FAugkf85uwnxi0ztfxZoSGusppzzozB-0KwOAHxOWt5odBqsLiuFA_osR2ayh1d777bw31qJOdAuEmcuBfZjEF_1FhfWX/s320/DSCN2197.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHvStTQNF7tbf4fcWsnIRZcsyYeH7Ezv2Rc3gcLlemtH7aQp_OSgpZCsJBkLWet_gKZ67i3TxRoWVd61C2EW8MWzqcyT3f-jYEOO59Ex4Jq3PCLAAjA9-xeQuTmUXw-XgNXGiDL2ZR5B21/s1600/DSCN2186.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458340237089297490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHvStTQNF7tbf4fcWsnIRZcsyYeH7Ezv2Rc3gcLlemtH7aQp_OSgpZCsJBkLWet_gKZ67i3TxRoWVd61C2EW8MWzqcyT3f-jYEOO59Ex4Jq3PCLAAjA9-xeQuTmUXw-XgNXGiDL2ZR5B21/s320/DSCN2186.jpg" /></a></p>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-24061086675612630732010-03-19T09:42:00.001-07:002010-03-19T09:43:51.116-07:00Here is a picture of the new family member<p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6oofcFLREBpFPzYrMpCdmH_W_OtBktR4LeZxR8mTgxqpjGMpjVtpyBFyu9TFShzfhpbs1jVKEe3pVmGFjsouwCDA4DPB9TCrS9ZeJq17tXzzEfXXpfb7tuqLbgjKMWWw8FDbnNpL17tv_/s1600-h/25101_370354013996_582148996_3813684_882254_s.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450386388039685442" style="WIDTH: 105px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 130px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6oofcFLREBpFPzYrMpCdmH_W_OtBktR4LeZxR8mTgxqpjGMpjVtpyBFyu9TFShzfhpbs1jVKEe3pVmGFjsouwCDA4DPB9TCrS9ZeJq17tXzzEfXXpfb7tuqLbgjKMWWw8FDbnNpL17tv_/s320/25101_370354013996_582148996_3813684_882254_s.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><div align="center">Molly</div><br /><br /><div align="center">More pictures coming soon.<br /></div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-19422835462897242462010-01-24T19:16:00.000-08:002010-01-24T19:39:11.883-08:00A New YearWell we are now almost a month into 2010. Last year was another interesting year for Mike and I. Mike found many soccer coaching opportunities and now is the JV coach for both the Pioneer high school men and women. He also continues to be the director of the Rush Academy. Due to Mike's schedule he was able to get a lot of work done at our house and we are so proud of it.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><div> In December I was looking at my goals for 2009. One was to buy a house... well I think I can put a big check mark by that one! My other goal was to run at least 2 races. In 2009 I ran four races! I think that calls for a check mark with a lot of stars around it! I have already begun to plan my races for this year. I may even start in February.</div><div><br /></div><div> I also have revived my love of knitting. Yes I was knitting a little (now a little for me may be a lot for others) but I am now knitting a lot... joined an international shawl exchange and I am going to try to join a knitting group or two this year. </div><div><br /></div><div> It is time for me to get out there and meet more people. I have even started playing in a coed soccer league with Mike. We will see what this year has in store for us. </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>Here are a few pictures. The first is just a cute picture of Mike and Drew at Bona family Christmas. The other two are from Mike's Christmas present... we went to a Red Wings game. </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyNora7SqFwi8Zxbu0JgB8OksCd73JNtmwALShj6uFhfMX_JhRxN309BsAs4aLQyMvcqr3k7xuEO4xKmQVJ6UfI3u1bf9xzGyvt-Ctyxpvgi0COy85RmDZw54lftiKCRo1dWBIVGPC8eXi/s1600-h/DSCN2068.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430514742145275218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyNora7SqFwi8Zxbu0JgB8OksCd73JNtmwALShj6uFhfMX_JhRxN309BsAs4aLQyMvcqr3k7xuEO4xKmQVJ6UfI3u1bf9xzGyvt-Ctyxpvgi0COy85RmDZw54lftiKCRo1dWBIVGPC8eXi/s320/DSCN2068.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5XRJ5Kt3gHaXtrZAYa4_rL66ALW4rh5z2lh6bZfCrZNR8Bgvo_nwAF76FeRhzJ9uSy4hDyn_HPPVPEiympZE0ybjd3wOYiGypOKd-iTiAlFtFFNzpaM5ihFjZPlrY44kB2zn1TnDe9msB/s1600-h/DSCN2095.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430514747922479010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5XRJ5Kt3gHaXtrZAYa4_rL66ALW4rh5z2lh6bZfCrZNR8Bgvo_nwAF76FeRhzJ9uSy4hDyn_HPPVPEiympZE0ybjd3wOYiGypOKd-iTiAlFtFFNzpaM5ihFjZPlrY44kB2zn1TnDe9msB/s320/DSCN2095.JPG" /></a></div><div> </div><div><br /> </div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieuBEok3q5PXA4RkBP8ctjgxudExrM3a3gUBevV8kBv6_M8ZoS2tZfQwXJ8R375yxdurdWqIx7i4sVaFlK_e6P8h7j2y6tI_sJUxXPDOpWd_3Pssi4GZGIBFYZJFAd2IPBsHoSkYWUvPah/s1600-h/DSCN2096.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430514754002982546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieuBEok3q5PXA4RkBP8ctjgxudExrM3a3gUBevV8kBv6_M8ZoS2tZfQwXJ8R375yxdurdWqIx7i4sVaFlK_e6P8h7j2y6tI_sJUxXPDOpWd_3Pssi4GZGIBFYZJFAd2IPBsHoSkYWUvPah/s320/DSCN2096.JPG" /></a></div>Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-7404769444637771802009-12-23T06:17:00.000-08:002009-12-23T06:25:20.940-08:00Merry Christmas to all! And to all good knitting.I decided to knit a last minute Christmas present. I am sure not many of you are surprised. In order to get this Christmas present done I decided to knit on the bus from my car to the hospital in the mornings and evenings. For all of you knitters out there you need to knit in public because the looks you get are priceless! People on the bus were trying not to stare but seemed not to be able to help themselves. One woman would stare at my knitting and then when I would look at her she would quickly try to make it look like she wasn't staring. It all made me giggle as I knitted away.<br /><br />Speaking of Christmas I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas. May it be filled with good memories, love, and a sparkle of hope. I also want to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-20807440179407656792009-12-11T11:12:00.000-08:002009-12-11T11:24:44.693-08:00Thanksgiving and Turkey TrotSorry for the late post. We don't have internet at home so I haven't been able to post in a timely fashion. Mike and I went to NY for Thanksgiving. We had a good time hanging out with the Johnville and Ellis clan. Kathy and I also ran another race. (Yup we are a bit nuts!) Kathy had her best time to date even with hurting her ankle. We even took a trip to the ER but no broken ankle for Kathy but a very bad strain. I had an OK time for not running in awhile. While we were in NY we went to the museum with Jacob and Evan, helped Kathy get a Christmas tree, and saw Jenny and the kids. All in all a good visit. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414060892697466466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKD7COWjYanynFg7I6yvG2gXmNBnaRSa_tNEm90DXIQ35FrtrAqtB8vgjge-e5Vd0w2DcGqXaEmIv8tRWCGoHB51bz-Jbsy64shjDC-cdyNAn7jxqXcDi-9VxXEpdqDG0j6NThp9CdAleL/s320/DSCN2019.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414060899699037842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTN-c47aAtbNlTO39d9xDzmyhe-wz-SjSq1v0hFNlX26gNV4wkTu8ou2pZwaxg6ryJf5-6F1_KIrjF1MBgOwkiViUuJ-n8wSmsE1MJB7GYI_lPXX8ZCtRNG1oSVTClBUhiAAwmsFwfAULa/s320/DSCN2022.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414060905683566498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIeHfMEWYXlIm3oBa5Fe1ee_zlNE3l0s6YOyKXxwpZUrhHVliaunGR_vMxaO4k_fxV9z6uJm94yOMXa2cnoeCHsAJhf4tR5yo-bU95wUdLAE4dkVIErQgQD7XMPGSkpawCOpEu2pluMNVt/s320/DSCN2043.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414060889579015090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN521sAq6SWLHf8Dt_oXfQ0xHSxC20e_jzpKEfCJQFvrc3rfAEwH1xeKypvGSXMXiDFfOQqDvT_kT9gpGQ8RoAbC1Mj561_qg7SOCIAr0sG7piVWjH2sXK3u68O1qUb49D_gZVYsHqzb-m/s320/DSCN2000.JPG" />Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-77036144174511579742009-11-06T05:29:00.001-08:002009-11-06T05:31:51.146-08:00Home Sweet HomeWe brought Zoomer over to our new house on Wednesday night. He is exploring but isn't too vocal (at least for Zoomer). Bringing Zooomer over meant that we finally stayed over night at our house. Hurray! We still have a bit of stuff at the in-laws house but hope to have everything at our place by the end of the weekend. Now if only everything could find its place...

The wallpaper in the master bedroom came off quick and easy. I can't say that much about the glue. How many layers of glue do you need anyway!? So in my attempt to get the walls prepared for the paint I learned a thing or two about getting the glue of the wall.<br /><br />1. Do NOT do big sections at a time. You can't work fast enough (unless you are the Flash) to get it off before it dries.<br />2. Scraping the glue off isn't always the best. We got a wallpaper scrapper that I tried to use to get the glue off... I may have gotten the glue off (with a lot of struggle) but I also left a lot of holes for Mike to putty.<br />3. Scrub brush and putty knife work the best!<br /><br />Here is what I found that worked the best if you have to take stubborn wallpaper glue off your walls:<br />* Dissolve TSP (Trisodium Phosphate Cleaner) in HOT water (according to the directions).<br />* Using a sponge apply the TSP solution to a small section of wall.<br />* Take your scrub brush and scrub in circular motion on the wall. (You will notice the glue coming up.)<br />* Now you can do one or both of these things:<br />1. Take the sponge and wipe off the glue and continue to use the scrub brush till it is all off OR<br />2. Take a putty knife to the scrubbed area to take the glue off the wall.<br />* When finished wipe the walls with a clean sponge and warm water.<br /><br />Note: This will not be hard work but tedious work! Also dipping the scrub brush in the TSP solution works well too.Lindsayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00956388078194858366noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664827321006464308.post-29403266127696960962009-10-18T16:13:00.000-07:002009-10-18T16:17:20.221-07:00After Photos of the Spare Room<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpjn4DUpq0PrbZNye9OIugAu0pSnTmcvAo6MZsr1HJaA5LX0QJcNYWugsw6NSfZg3RVPmz0ztae7Km56cpwuNukdKbIj3OWn3PVr3zK5ihtDbQBEcey0VTFQp8_gFFkAoWVoqu_6LqZz5-/s1600-h/DSCN1975.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
