Bamboo

I was right, I got 100% on my Hebrew quiz. I was very happy.

I had a great weekend, I went home and got a lot done. I painted the wood panels (final coat!!) in the big room, as well as the window trim and bottom closet trim inside the bedroom. Noah started painting the big rooster that's going in the bedroom. I'm very excited for it.

The rooster traditionally brings happy events and good fortune in Feng Shui. It is regarded as a strong and protective figure. It is thought to "eat up" the bad energy at home and the work place.

What else, it is time to plant the garlic bulbs for spring season! It is also time to trim the hostas and other plants. There is so much to do and not enough time. I wish I could do it all, I like working in the garden.

We also carried a heavy black shelf (WOW! Really, it was very heavy) to Noah's car and then into the new house, as well as the metal sides to another shelf. We ultimately decided to keep my bedroom as free of clutter as possible, and not put the shelves there because the dimensions didn't fit quite right, and it looked better without it. I saw this nice chair on overstock, what do you think?

I think a true testament of becoming an adult is worrying about how to clean things. Actually starting to look at tags and wondering, will this be easy to clean/wash?

And I was thinking about getting two rugs as well, a bigger natural bamboo one for the big room, and a smaller maybe red or orange colored bamboo one for the bedroom, it's nice to have a wood element. I've been thinking about the feng shui elements and colors, and it would be nice to have a little bit of all of the elements (something metal, maybe copper, some clay- the crazy rabbit sculpture noah made for me, a wood/water/fire element, crystal, etc)

Noah and I played some pool in the basement, Noah started off strong but I won our mini-game.
I also made a little 8 track mix (you can listen to it free without registering).
