point me at lost islands*

We're starting another project soon, so I'm all atwitter. Relative to our past projects, it's a small and quick one for us, involving little home improvement (a bit of painting, but not even full-on painting walls or ceiling) and a bunch of purchases in a range from small to biggish. I'm being all mysterious but only because I am such a dork about the big reveal.

Anyway, we're still in the preliminary stages, planning to tackle it over the course of a few days during our winter vacation. I'm so excited! I've actually been thinking about and planning this project for a while (and hence, collecting a few things for it that I've set aside), and then a variety of things coalesced today and bam! I knew that yep, time to start. Woe betide Sal if he were to ever disagree once I reach that event horizon from "thinking about a project" to "okay, so let's get started".

Very excited. I've been ready to get going on this for some time, and because this particular project represents a metaphorical transition (that I'll explain at a later time), being ready to start is representative of more than just being ready to do some painting and decorating. I know none of this makes any sense and I'm talking all around it and being all vague and mysterious, but I wanted to just say, you know, something kinda cool is about to happen and you heard it here first.

lunch, deli club:

  • hazelnut-crusted chicken breast
  • baked potato with butter and sour cream
  • green and royal burgundy string beans
  • rainbow carrots

snack, pink natural lunch:

  • banana that's just a tad on the green side
  • Gala apple
  • green grapes

 

*yep, still obsessed with that Tired Pony album

Ooh, now I'm practically falling out of my chair with curiosity! When will we get to know?! Does the project actually have anything to do with lost islands, or is that just a fun tease of a title?

The lost islands, in this case, are metaphorical. :)

We're doing the project in December so the actual reveal will be after that, but I think I'll probably talk more about it in the coming weeks. Too excited to contain myself! :)

I have an idea...am I allowed to guess or do I just need to work on my patience? Hee.

:) You can guess, of course! I have a feeling you'll guess right, since we've talked about this so much.
