As the weather warms up, I get into this major "mood". Not a bad mood, but a "let's get it done" mood. Then I get frustrated when nobody else wants to cooperate with my agenda. Thankfully, I have an excellent excuse to get things done AND have my family help me. I'm having a Miche purse party here on Saturday, which means People Are Coming Over! People who have yet to see our house and ones who haven't seen the remodel. So, Hubby kicked into gear, finishing the staining and varnishing of the kitchen cabinets. Then he'll put the knobs on. I painted our too shabby to be chic TV armoir and the linen closet door. My daughter finished taking the paint to the top, because I couldn't reach. She and her brother cleaned up the yard. Tomorrow, I'll put pots of flowers out front and pull some weeds. All this fussing...some people think it's so unnecessary. "They're not coming to see the house, they're coming to see you", they say. I know, I know! But I like people to feel special by welcoming them into a pretty little cleaned up place. Life is so much simpler for birds. They have a little house or a nest, trees to sit in, wires to sit on as they watch me in the yard. They sit there and plan when to bombard the car with their intestinally processed lunch. I hope my guests don't mind that I have THOSE kinds of birds! I look forward to being a hostess and spreading some love around.

i LOVE making the house perfect for people to visit.
it's much more fun when the house is YOURS, though. lol.
and you're having a P.A.C.O. moment! People Are Coming Over! i love it!
Oh, Amber, you're a doll! I wish you COULD come to my house! You know, Arizona IS nice and warm! Well, parts of it. I'm glad you got a smile, anyway. ( ;
@ehrinn_l - I love how you called it a P.A.C.O. moment! And what makes me an almost wreck is remembering that a chunk of my day tomorrow is going to be spent at the Naturopath's office and then I have a computer tutorial with a friend. Why do I procrastinate? ( 8
It's this "mood" which makes me able to do Spring cleaning!
@NightCometh - 'Tis a wonderful "mood", isn't it?!?!
Love the new pic. I think it is only natural to want your house to look great for those PACO moments!
Oh I know those "moods" well! I have to gently poke and prod but if I bide my time and bite my tongue it eventually gets done!
It always amazes me how much I can get done when "PACO"! I wish I could put the pedal to the metal like that everyday!
Have fun with your company! What's a Miche purse party?
Jeff always tells me that I have a double ~ the "Company is coming Liz"! I don't think he likes her as much as me, but when she does come around, things get done quickly!!! =) I know what you mean, getting the house ready and welcoming is part of us I think, it's in our nature as women. And you also seem like a very hospitible person, so it must be even more so for you! =) I hope your party goes well. I'm sure everyone will have a lovely time!!!
Ive been in that "mood" for a while now and I think I'm driving everyone crazy! Just can't understand why they can't get on the same page all the time! Please post some pics after you get this all done, it'll feel like we 're coming for a visit!
I just love your humor!
I have those kinds of birds also! But your comparison to birds is interesting. They don't fuss and fume like we do...or DO THEY?! I have been watching - and praying - that this pair of bluebirds will choose our home for themselves in our backyard. Sure enough they started taking material inside to make a nest...and then stopped, and left! I was sooo disappointed! They were hanging around here about two weeks! Who was the fussy, discontented one? I don't know but they sure weren't interested in answering my prayer. By the way, I would love being part of your guest list and learning to know you better! I already know the fellowship would be precious!
