Remember when...

* Pete had a mullet?
* Tim was shorter than the rest of us?
* Big, round glasses were in style?
* All the girls had bangs?
* Chewing gum was considered major rebellion?

Do you have anything else to add to the list?

I love RED! (Can you tell?)

After much nagging from AnnaLisa, I finally decided to quit procrastinating and to update my blog. Below are pictures of my lovely new living room furniture.

Which Sounds Like More Fun?

What I did today . . .

1. Researched whether a business plan is considered to be "property" for purposes of Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Ate sushi for lunch.
3. Drafted a letter to a client explaining why a settlement payment is deductible.
4. Researched whether a charitable organization must take into account the fair market value of facilities provided rent free when determining whether it is a publicly supported charity.
5. Rode the bus home.
6. Watched American Idol.

What I did two years ago today . . .

Beautiful Isla Roatan, Honduras

So I was very brave and picked out new glasses all by myself. What do you think?!

. . . here are a few pictures of my house. The loft, master bedroom, and master bathroom are still disaster areas so you'll have to wait for those pictures.

The kitchen with all the appliances.

My beautiful new stove.

A close-up of the stove with its cool griddle.

The dining room. I bought blinds for all the rooms, but haven't installed them yet. They are two-inch faux wood.

The guest bathroom. Notice the beautiful curved shower rod Dad installed. What do you think of the picture? It's not my normal style, but I think it goes well with the shower curtain.

A close-up of the new artwork.

A close-up of my new duvet cover. Once I get it washed and ironed, I'll take a picture of it on my bed.
