Sleeping with the shades up

I like light to filter in through my room in the morning, my husband likes it dark. Since he's out of town, I can do whatever I want. So I leave the curtains up in the bedroom and when I wake up, there's a sunny world outside greeting me and saying "Hey, lazy - it's beautiful outside, get out of bed!" We'll soon solve this challenge by purchasing some of those light filtering honeycomb blinds. That way, no one can see in at night (there's no one out there except the trees anyhow) and the light will filter through in the morning. Although I really like to look out and see trees, sun, sky, birds, etc.

Had a wacky dream last night. I was hanging out with a friend in his University-area apartment and he rented his couches and floor space to commuter students for naps. So when we get there, we have to step over the students who are napping on the carpet and couches.

I also was dreaming when I first looked outside because I remember seeing this ugly area of our yard transformed with some killer landscaping. Alas, it hasn't happened that way yet, but it gave me some good ideas....

Hey, mon, gotta get to work painting the livingroom!
