laws: murphy's and motion

Remember a few weeks ago, when my week started off like this? Well, I am here to say thank you so much to Lee at Ridge Construction. He's not only a friend of Jacob's from high school (the wayback!), he's super talented at so many things more intricate and interesting than fixing our bathroom ceiling (he does gorgeous remodeling work as well), but he still came over and spent a couple of mornings of his valuable time doing it anyway. Thanks, Lee! 


(we are totally hoping to bring Lee back for a few days on some projects that might be a little more fun - fingers crossed!)


Now we just have to choose paint colors, because if we're painting the ceiling, might as well, right? This little house is probably due for a couple of updates like that, but I am well aware of the pandora's box we're about to crack open by saying the words "paint swatches". Wish me luck...


P.S. I am no brainiac, but I did once do an entire science project illustrating Newton's laws of motion with The Far Side cartoons, so I can speak to how physical law seems to apply to our bathroom woes. You know the one that goes, "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."? That definitely happened Monday night. Just about the time that the project on the ceiling was nearing completion, the counterweight on our old, double-hung windows broke, slamming the window closed and breaking the glass in the process. Come on, now. Come on. What the FAIL.
