the tiling of one wall is finished - the grout just needs to be put in. we will most likely have a sink and toilet in by the end of the week - woohoo!!!!!

it's ridiculous how excited i am about a bathroom...but i'm really loving how it's turning out. the grey we have on the wall is sooo pretty, and we're using subway tile (rectangular tile). love. 

what is left to do:

-painting the trim

-putting in the tile grout

-tiling the shower area

-putting up the wainscoting

-putting in the sink and toilet

-fixtures (i.e. bathtub knobs, etc)

we're in the "homestretch"...yay!

These crazy people:

decided it would be a good idea to smile really big at the UPS guy as he was delivering packages.

They smiled, waved, and knocked on the window (courtesy of MeMe and Lilly). I wish I could've captured the guy's face. Oh. My. Gosh. He turned around when they knocked with this half amused half have-these-people-lost-all-their-marbles look. 

I think he was relieved to get back into his truck! :)

...to see me being a klutz, then this is you're lucky day.

If you didn't want to...well then avert your eyes.

But if you do watch it, don't ask what I was doing. Please.

Nevermind. Just ignore my crazy ramblings.

I hope you aren't scarred for life now...sigh.

I found four old National Geographic magazines, all of which use to be my grandmother's. The oldest one is from 1930! 

Needless to say, they all went straight to my bookshelf.

Some of them had Coca-Cola advertisements on the back:

From 1938 - check out the Indian!

From 1948

From 1950 (This one creeps me out a little)

What are some old(er) things you've seen lately?
