Much goings-on around here, bloggy friends. Thought at the end of my week I should share some things with you that I find satisfying…. or “That Which Will Suffice”. (Click on "View Slide Show" to see the photos!)

From left to right:

#1. Here’s the pile of dorm room supplies E & I have been gathering the past few weeks. Yesterday I shopped about four hours alone, picking up the things she really doesn’t care about – drying rack, suitcase, under-the-bed storage bin, hangers, closet organizers, a stock of must-have toiletries just to name a few. Neither E nor I are much on shopping. For some women I know it’s a sport of sorts, but for us it’s torture. Not that we don’t like getting things, it’s just that we don’t enjoy the process of dressing rooms, sale-searching, and crowd-fighting. But we are almost there! What’s left, you ask? An umbrella, a robe (a nice big fluffy one that goes chin-to-floor since she’ll be not only in a coed dorm, but on a coed floor! Be still my mother’s heart!!), shower shoes, and a rain jacket. She wants to pick up another pair of sandals, but I’m leaving that one to her. In SEVEN short days, we’ll be heading off to DC to move her into her dorm room and meet her roommate. Yikes!!

#2. & #3. Ta-da!! Matt, Mary and I have been working for a while on an Art/Writing/Reading room. It’s The Boy’s old room. We painted it blue stripes, put up shelves from Ikea, moved and organized a BUNCH of my books from downstairs shelves, and finished the door table. Hooray! These two photos are of the table. It’s g-g-g-r-r-r-eat!! I was waiting to share photos until we were 100% finished, but with everything going on, it might take us a little while to get all the details finished. (We have a dresser and chifforobe to paint, bulletin boards to hang, and a light fixture to purchase.) So I’ll give you a peek here and there. Mary and I are loving it!

#4. Mary and I recovered this ottoman with fabric she picked out. It was originally made for her nursery by a very talented friend of mine. It’s in the art room with a white chair I purchased from the Coalition for $15. *Smile* I’m very satisfied with how it turned out!

#5. Dingo is hanging out with us until Monday night. His mommy and daddy are at the beach with Dingo’s other grandparents. It’s good to have a grand-dog, even if he is a bit of a handful!

Good night!
