The Minkz - My O.C Sister - Often a funny read!

March Madness

In many households, "March Madness" means college basketball, to me, March Madness has more meaning...

Birthdays...lots of them!  Beginning with my handsome stud man!

End of the high school 3rd quarter...for a junior, it's critical, however in my house, it doesn't seem that important! hmmmmmm??!!

Spring fever...the odd physical desire to clean and purge. This however does not pertain to my teenagers!

Daylight savings time....longer days!  (Love that, however the biological clock is getting harder and harder to adjust)...thank god for Excedrin PM!

Trees begin to bloom...what is prettier than a street of cherry blossoms trees in screaming pink?

Planning for spring break (this always means more work for me...but who's complaining?)

The countdown to Sarah's birthday typically begins about now...does she think we would actually forget the day she was born?

So, when people talk March Madness, forgive me for being caught up in chaos...to busy to focus on very tall boys, chasing an orange ball around beautiful hardwood floors!  By the way, why an orange ball?  Couldn't it be maybe....pink or fuchsia....just like the cherry blossom trees!

Construction Update

We are moving along with the construction...just got news that the target completion date is September 24th...we know that in construction language that means December 24th!  The good news is we will be in by Christmas...we may be sitting on boxes, but we will be in!

Construction4_8_07_008 Our fireplace in the great room is about to begin receiving it's stone facade...this will probably be the only time I will be able to assume this position, so I thought I would properly document it!  Santa should have no problem fitting!

Construction Update

We are officially "dried in".  We have been under construction for 7 3/4 months!  If we are truly going to be complete in the estimated time frame, we are at the half way point.  I am not convinced!
