It's done! The basement has been done for several weeks. It looks soooo good! However, when you first see it, it doesn't look finished because there is no carpeting. Just a bunch of area rugs over a paint-spattered concrete floor. Hey, if you can't pay for it, you can't get it! We had enough cash for a nice new TV or flooring. The majority voted for entertainment. So while we've had several companies measure for the carpet and give us estimates, we likely won't be getting flooring until 2011, anyway. Some other priorities at the moment, including some beautiful new windows recently installed. (CHA-CHA-CHA-CHING)

My employer has instituted flex-time, so I have every other Friday off, while working longer days in between. Woo hooo! Just a quick, belated post here and I'm off to (I hope) check a few things off of a very looooong to-do list.

Spring is here, although some days are chilly; I can live with that. There is plenty of time for hot, disgusting temperatures! Sunny, cool days are my most productive.

I'll soon be back with an update on the latest birthday news; we've had several biggies recently. And time goes on..... (not that my "big" following here is waiting with baited breath or anything.)
