Happy Mardi Gras! As you have probably figured out almost every holiday (Arbor Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day) is a reason to celebrate in the Stifel house hold! Bob makes jambalaya and his famous flaming Bananas Foster and we sit around drinking wine debating whether we should give up anything for Lent. Bob, being raised Catholic usually does, me the "unenlightened" Presbyterian, usually doesn't. That's not actually true in the past few years as a family instead of giving something up we have been trying to DO something new. They say it takes 30 days to make a habit so the 40 days of Lent would make a great head start on a healthy habit. I will say the clean bedrooms didn't last long last year, though. I think my Lent Habit will be something terribly basic that I am horrible at , like drinking enough water or stretching my bad back every day...
I got the second coat of paint on a good chunk of the main room downstairs yesterday. I am SO pleased with how it looks! I can't wait to have all of the nuetral work done so I can play with the accent wall.
