Summer isn't actually almost over, but it feels like it. My husband and I are in the process of buying our first house and it is a scary process. Between mortgages and inspectors to negotiations with the seller, it is a constant stress. On top of that, I took on three classes for the summer semester instead of two and it kicked me hard. I just finished this week and love the feeling of having a tiny bit of a summer break. I have a couple of weeks until the new semester begins.
So while we don't officially have the house yet, I keep decorating it in my mind. That is a scary place to be. I have such lofty goals that I know look great to me, but will be a pain to actually accomplish. I even keep thinking of stupid things like that fact that I will need to buy a snow shovel. It is July and I am thinking about snow shovels. I wish I was able to keep the stuff we had int he house in North Carolina instead of having to sell or give it away. It would have been handy to have a power washer and not have to buy a new one. Even a garden hose would have been nice to not have to buy again. Going from a house to an apartment didn't let us keep most of the stuff a homeowner needs but an apartment dweller does not.
I definitely want these lanterns for outside. Instead of traditional votive candles though, I want to put the battery powered LED ones in. I love these and I think putting them on the screened in porch or the back deck would look nice....once I actually get outdoor furniture. They will look a little odd just hanging out on their own. What do you think? I like blue, green, and red. I am just so full of ideas and it is one of those things that I would need a million dollars to make come true.
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a nice summer. I look forward to getting some writing done and hopefully will be able to accomplish that sometime in the near future (I think I always say that).
