I survived!

Happy Thursday! I don't know about you, but this week has been great and I blame it on the weather. Yesterday it was 70° and today is 60°! If you aren't from NY, this may not seem as exciting to you, but around here... that's like short shorts and halter tops kind of weather. Dare I say that spring might really be here after all...???

In my last post, I mentioned that Sam and I would be attending a 1920s themed birthday party for one of Sam's coworkers. Here we are with some fellow 1920s folk having a blasty blast! I went as a flapper and Sam was a little newspaper boy who even made his own custom newspaper. Ain't he clever?

This photo is not only proof that we went to the party, but also proves that I survived the Shamrock Run! Woohoo! It was an exact repeat of last year... I ran the whole way (slowly) until the last giant hill/mountain...where my Pandora started playing Lana Del Rey (whom I enjoy, but that's not exactly 'GET PUMPED!!!!' type of music..more like...'heyyyy girl, you ran this far...time for a nap' type of music) So, I walked for a hot second, long enough to switch my Pandora over to Ween radio - now THAT will get you pumped! I finished the race at 48 mins, which is really slow...but hey, over 700 people finished after me so I'm not that upset.

Aside from these events, I have also been quite busy with the shop! As of today, I'm at 294 orders...which means I'm only 6 away from my goal of 300 by April 29th!!! My fingers are crossed, maybe cross yours too?

Over the next few days, I hope to stay busy with orders and also start painting! I have many paint projects in mind for us, starting with one of the spare bedrooms. Maybe you could also cross your fingers we chose the right colors...

Hopefully in next week's post I'll be able so share a before and after photo of that room. Excited!
