Wierd and Random Things About Me

I've been tagged. And so as not to be a total bummer, I will at least post my wierdness. But I'm afraid I will not pass this one on. I'm not a big fan of passing it on in the whole chain way. So if anyone feels like participating, the rules are posted below. Feel free!!

5 Wierd and Random Things About Me...

1. My middle name shows on my Birth Certificate as Michelle. But on my Baptism Certificate, it's Michele. I used my Baptism Certificate to get my driver's license, but my driver's license says Michelle. Go figure.
2. I have a raspberry coloured 'beauty mark' over my eye.
3. I have a brown freckle on the tip of my nose that my mother keeps trying to wipe off every time she sees me. Yes, I know, I'm almost 39 years old but she still feels the need to wipe my nose.
4. Over my lifetime, I have moved my place of residence at least 22 times. I may have lost one or two from my memory. No, my father is not in the military. Don't ask. I don't know why myself.
5. I love to sing. I have performed on stage at several folk festivals. My life-long dream is to perform on stage at the Grand Ole Oprey.


Here are the meme rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
5. Don’t break the chain!

Christmas Day then back to work!!





Christmas day reprieve. Mom and Dad have been non-stop helping us to get ready for this day. I'm sure they are at least as tired as we are. The walls and most of the cupboards have all been primed in the kitchen. It is a stark white... almost as white as Nikki's hair!








The walls have received a coat of finish paint in a soft yellow with brown undertones. It's much darker than this pictures suggests.












Another angle on the kitchen to see the finish paint. We shouldn't have to change the blinds for a while with this colour. But we WILL change them one day!









Next project already underway...
Princess bedroom.
The dark panelling has been primed. We learned that some outside air just blows right in through the wiring on the window wall. There was condensation on the wall and the primer wouldn't stick (bottom right). Next week we'll leave it cold in that room in order to keep the walls dry enough to get paint on. Later, Cos will go under the house to try to sprayfoam the wiring holes.

Closing Day. No Time To Celebrate. Get To Work.
