House and Hair Remodeling

Posted on | March 8, 2010 | 2 Comments

Michael and I are living in the chaos of contractors. Furniture has been piled in the center of rooms. Plastic is draped over everything. Drop clothes cover the floors. We are having the old 1963 wallpaper removed, the plaster walls repaired, and everything painted in bold, bold, BOLD colors.

The cats are loving it — that and the new kitty door we’ve put in the basement door so they can get back in the house when they slip into the basement while I’m doing laundry. Sleeping in the guest bedroom and hunting for clothes and other things that are buried under plastic and dust — I’m not really enjoying that so much, but it’s only for a couple more weeks.

So in the midst of redecorating the house, why not change our appearances as well? Michael is growing a beard and I bleached my dark brown hair. Last night we took the above picture on my laptop camera in the kitchen (one of the few rooms in the house not in a state of disarray). We look happy, and we are. Just having a fun evening in, fixing dinner together, making stupid jokes, and watching a movie on Netflix.
