Grey, grey and more grey!

First Grey

We had two weeks of no rain, averaging 70F with loads of beautiful sunshine. It was great for walks and general outdoor enjoyment, but bad for the plants and trees just starting their active cycles.

I had ordered the two new unfinished bureaus (drawers to some) and nightstand during the glorious sunshiny time. The day they came off the delivery truck it was rolling thunderstorms. It was kind of funny watching the guys try to unload with the sky rumbling not far away with huge dark clouds coming. They deliverers were on a mission, no doubt.

Second Grey:

It hasn't stopped drizzling, raining, or the threat of rain since. Notice the timing? I need to get the two old bureaus out, get the new ones primed (it's a grey primer), and painted (they'll be black) and then loaded into our bedroom. You know, that room that's going to get a new bed too. :) Now if the weather would just cooperate and let me do my stuff!

See that weather snapshot? I may have to prime the bureaus in the house. (*Ugh, what a mess and smell!) I managed to prime the nightstand out on the deck just in the nick of time before the rain came in the other day. I was bummed not to have been able to do more.

Other news...

I haven't stitched a darn thing. But the S&B (Stitch'n Bitch) girls and I have been busy with a fellow S&Ber's upcoming baby shower. We managed to buy and wrap over the course of several days. S.'s baby shower is this Saturday. I can't wait. I hope she loves what we picked out. I have taken pictures, but since I am not sure if she reads here, I can't post them yet. Let's just say they look awesome.

As a flossmom I have been super busy. I am shopping for two people at the moment- one a flosskid, and the other well, it not my flosskid officially, but I am helping her "stock up". As it stands now I have bought well over 200 threads in the last few weeks with many more to get still.

Third Grey: Oh and I dyed my hair again. Though technically the first time was done by my neighbor B. because I am a chicken. This time I did it myself, and used a shade lighter- 6GLight Golden Brown-, though I should go down even lighter next time. It's fun to play and hide the grey. I have been using the "warmer" colors, and I think warmer really means red hues. I think I will try for the cooler next time as well.
Each time I dye my hair it makes it several shades darker than my natural color which is an "off mix" of mostly browns, with white, grey, blonde, and almost black strands. Aren't I a weird one?
