Progress...

So the biggest question in our house right now...HOW DO YOU UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE FREE PAPER??? Seriously. I am asking. I really don't want to get the Forysth County News and Review (I actually don't know if that is the real name because I promptly throw it in the trash when I get it). But I promise, I know how these papers work, I spent some time in this field. There are three people on staff and they are running press releases sent by overzealous media folk so basically the whole thing is a big ad with sports highlights....don't care. But what we HATE is the whoever delivers in throws in and the END of our driveway (yes, we are just that lazy). And there is more than one free paper, so we are getting like 5 a week. And lately it has been raining ALOT soooo it turns into a big gooey mess. And if anyone knows how to unsubscribe to the free paper, do you think you can unsubscribe your neighbors too? Because my neighbors don't care about their paper and let it set on their grass forever before picking it up...and it gets super yucky.

In other news, I have noticed that people who have lived in their homes for a while seem to have everything unpacked and things hung on the wall and stuff. I figure that once I live in this house for a while the same thing will happen to me....except that would require that I made a LITTLE progress. Seriously, we still have boxes in almost every room. So how to you eat an elephant? ONE BITE AT A TIME!! I decided to start with the dining room, I thought it would be the easiest. In typical me fashion, I think I have bitten off more than I can chew with my very lofty ideas....you know, that I will simply do things that I have to idea how to do and that it will all work out. But I took a before picture, and I am posting here that I am working on it to hold myself somewhat accountable. I plan to have made substantial progress by tax day (April 15th) so check back then!!
