Kimmie's Place

Some may have not heard, but my awesome sis is painting her house...going through recently announced camera I decided to post some pictures of the first coat of paint done at the house...

As you step in her front door you'd looking at this view

If you walk to the arch and turn around...the door is centered to the left is her fireplace, which is beautiful but sadly I didn't get a picture of it as its covered in plastic to protect it.

The view to the right, lovely windows...I was there the day the blinds were installed, just shortly before I took pictures actually!The colors of one of her bedrooms, or an office, you should ask her and find out...I'm sure she'll be delighted to tell of the remodeling tales.
Another Bedroom, it was so hot in the house the day we painted, that this room's outside wall didn't like the paint...and started crying! Not really, but it is an outside wall and had moisture built up on it we think because of the difference of temperatures inside vs outside. Oh well, another coat of paint!
This is part of the kitchen with a slight view of the hallway paint...its the yellowish color. The kitchen hasn't been decided totally what colors will be done as women are always apt to change their mind at least a couple of times!
Thats all I have of her house...granted I should have put before pics up, but you'll have to pester Da for those...he has them.

New Camera

I've been incredibly shy about my new camera...I got a new camera for Valentines/bday/anniversary/xmas gift this year. At least that is what I'm claiming it is for because with the camera wonderful hubby gave it has options for new lenses...which can turn into more presents each year, quarter...who knows!!

As I attempt to learn my camera some of the pictures may actually appear on here...there are a couple recent ones I'd love to show, but give me time as I haven't learned if I need any software for it or not.

Eventually the pictures will show, and if I appear with a camera in my hand, just ignore it. Pretend its my deformed hand seeing as how I'm a wanna be photographer, when in reality I'm a HUGE amateur.

Vacations?

To fly or drive...that is the question. Let alone where to go. I can give hubby all sorts of options and possibilities but picking a place, now thats hard for me. Too many options I want to do.

Currently I've rattled off: Zions, Yellowstone, California somewhere, St. George, Hawaii, Paris (but its a dang long flight), New York, stay home hiding. So far no decision made yet, any suggestions?

We really need a break and gents at work say this is the perfect time with them traveling the next few weeks along with head honcho bossman. Just getting hubby to decide on time off...

Waiting I'm not always good at...

Work Boys will be Boys

At work we are in the progress of getting Video Conferencing purchased and set up.

Last week one of the gents ordered big 47" tv's for the screens since we are technically a "corporate office" he wanted them for us. They arrived today and oh my gosh!! Was it like Christmas for the two gents here today. Luckily head honcho bossman is traveling in Africa this week and part of next. So who knows what his thought will be. But Mr. T who bought them got a great deal...only $699 each. Of course he is BIG on refurbished items, but the warranty is the same as a new item and its half the cost...so thats his justification for when honcho bossman Mr. E arrives back in town.

The other gent here is Mr. G, I can listen to him talk all day as he has an accent I think from Brazil area...kinda like Canadian but not quite. I don't think south africa but possibly, I should know since he takes family vacations back home and I've only worked with these 3 gents for 9 months or so...oh well. One day I'll remember.

RS Birthday Event

Tuesday I went to the relief society birthday event thinking I need to talk to people about Friday anyways, its as good a time as any.

When I arrive, Lo & Behold!! it wasn't my ward's event this week it was the 1st ward...known as my old ward.

As I'm walking to the gym thinking...maybe we're sharing the gym today...I see the Food Storage Lady whom I needed to talk to anyway about the Granola I was purchasing and also own. Sadly I have no idea what to do with the granola, let alone how long it lasts.

So I stayed, and stayed, and visited, and participated. I ended up back home around 9.

It was an enjoyable evening, getting to see the friends in my old ward and sad at the same time. I realized that wards are a good social network and when it changes its like those friends are lost. It takes an effort now to visit them and see how they're doing instead of the weekly meeting on Sunday.

I realize I really suck at that! I have a hard time checking up on people let alone remembering names when I truly want to. Oh, the names are in my head all right, they just play hide and seek with me ALL THE TIME! Only when I'm readying myself for night night will they pop out and go "found me!!" Highly annoying...but very true with my mind.

So next week is when my wards activity is, and I hear it will be as much fun as the other activity. Who knows, maybe one of these days I'll break out of the shell I live in and actually talk with people! On a consistent basis too!
