We are starting on the living room remodel tomorrow and we have determined that the furniture (except for my awesome coffee table) will go! For sale soon. I am excited to get started with the painting and whatnot.

No, we're not moving (yet). Just getting rid of stuff that we don't have room for and don't need! I made great progress this weekend getting rid of stuff! This was the first truckload and I have a second ready to go for when this gets dropped off today. It's like a switch was flipped and suddenly it became easy to let stuff go. Hooray!

My mint is growing! My mint is growing! I thought I killed it last year but it came back! Hope it fills my flowerbed of death.

Received this today- apparently I am a "Man of Quality" and for that I deserve a gift to match! It seems my "quality" match is a crappy quartz watch. Jeez!

I took lots of photos but never could get it quite right. The first one is my view through a hole in paper and the second one is straight on. If you see the glowing crescent shape above the sun I think it was somehow projected in a different locale due to the tree leaves - it looks like the crescent with leaves in the side.

Someone is building a new house outside my window at work - pretty cool to watch the construction!

New Dr. Martens boots on left replacing my old boots on the right. The old ones are a bit ragged but I don't know if I will be able to actually get rid of them just yet! The new ones are nice though made in China, not England like the old ones. It will be interesting to see how long they last.

Pinky sunset with tropical looking trees - too bad about all the power lines. View out my back window.

This tree in our backyard has the most beautiful blooms on it every year - still don't know what it's called! It's a really pretty tree and it has those oval shaped leaves, pink blossoms and wicked big thorns.

I was photographing coins today at work and this one was my favorite! A 1966 gold coin from Peru - I love the obverse design. A very pretty coin overall! Mintage of only 3,409. I thought Monica would enjoy this one, but maybe she's already seen one before!

Carl and I went to lunch today at Phantom. This is the surprised/shocked face he always does when he looks at the bill when we go out! He's funny.
