life list update: september 2010.

It’s high time for an update, yes? I’ve been jet-setting all over the country (I miss you already, NYC), so haven’t had much time to cross off some major items, but I have indeed made a bit of progress on a few. One item that has been weighing heavily on my mind is #37. Finish

a progress tour video!

You know you’re dying to see it, yes? We’re still pretty heavy into the construction phase, but it’s coming along swimmingly. Wanna see? Do you? Good. Hop on over to HGTV for the full scoop! Speaking of hopping over, I’m jet-setting out to NYC for Fashion Week tomorrow, so I’ll have approximately zero updates for

stop frontin’.

Actually, no. Keep frontin’. Because it’s time to focus on the front door (now that the mad siding chaos is complete), and I have totally jackpotted in this category. It’s true. I feel like I’m now Queen of the Internet and have found the pot of gold. Does that make me a leprechaun, then? Perhaps.

three good things…

Since siding hell began, I’ve been trying to look past the 102 temps and sweat and aching back (really! I’m trying!) and see the bright side of things.

…and the fun begins!

So, we’re still installing siding (in crazy heat, I might add), but I have to admit, my head is elsewhere. I’ve never been a heavy hands-on kinda gal, and while Husband adores the construction phase, I’m much better suited for decorating. Naturally, I’m totally excited to work with eBay to furnish my home. I’ve got
