It's been a while since I posted openly.
So, let's see. It rained all damn weekend. So, I spent yesterday working on the doll house. All Day. I finally got the roof shingles completed, so all that's left to do is create floors and glue in the stairs. I picked up some self adhesive cabinet liner in faux wood grain to use for the flooring in most of it. I figured that'd be easier than getting spray adhesive and felt, but I'll probably still use the felt idea for half of it. It looks pretty good, but I'm about ready to call this project complete and get it out of my living room.
Also started counting calories in an attempt to reign in the rampant weight gain. I figure a lot of the issues I've been having of late will likely clear up with about 15lbs off my frame. I know it seemed to do the trick before, so at the least I'd like to see if my theory is correct. Besides that, I'll feel better about myself if I can get back into some of the cute outfits I'd picked up back in the day.
I had a fantastic time in New Orleans with Momma and Doc. We went to French Quarter Fest, which was incredibly crowded, and the next day took in the Strawberry Festival, which was much more our speed. Unfortunately, Doc didn't get to join us for either of those two excursions. Next time. Speaking of next time, I doubt I'll do the French Quarter Fest again. Too crowded now. I may try a different one a month or so later in the year, or try to return to the Thanksgiving time slot.
Regardless, it was a good time. It always is, in New Orleans!
