speaking of my house, almost ALL of the gosh-awful flower wall paper is now down. still some painting to be done, but the bare, scratched-up walls are a remarkable improvement. and the wood floors are going into my living/dining rooms as i type.

last weekend of swimming this coming weekend. thank the lord. it's been a great 8-year run, but i am ready to move on and leave the handling of crazy teenager swimmers to someone else.

hope all you couples out there have a good valentine's day. but just to keep things interesting, a little family business reminder:
