just words about skin

well it's march, and it's like summer. hot sun beating down on everyone's embarassed, white skin. a lot of this kind of skin being all of a sudden very visible. sunday was the warmest day so far, and on monday i saw the receptionist at my doctor's office appear behind the desk in a very red and regretful skin. :) but the sun is just too seductive to stay away. i do hope, however, to be wise this year and not become a lobster of any shade. not good for those of us who have the pale and freckled swedish skin.

i am not naive. i know that the sun is just teasing us. it will be gone in april, to make room for those showers that bring flowers. no point in getting a brown and happy skin to wear under a rain coat.

and for something not about skin, we are building our second bedroom, finally! thanks to the wondrous electrical and carpenterial talents of our dads, the studs are up, the wiring's in, and we're set to start the sheetrock. this project has only been "in the works" for almost two years. but patience is your biggest expense when you are the one doing all the work. it just feels good to get moving and see things changing. and it will be a HUGE blessing to have an extra space to flood into. we're already popping at the seams in our little place, but it's so cute and full of architectural intrigue. :)
