It is early morning on the first day of 2009. I am thrilled for this year to begin and for us to move into the House and really start our Raleigh experience. Not just the Renovation Experience, but the WHOLE RALEIGH EXPERIENCE. 2009 will be good for us and our little family.

In the meantime all I can think about is paint. If you are listening, please don’t make me go back up the ladder. I will paint any surface below the eight feet mark. Maybe I can even stretch a little further or use the extension handle. Just don’t make me go back up the ladder. If you do, I will punch you in the head. Punch you in the head until you understand the pain that is coursing through my calves at this very moment. That’s all. Ladder = Punch in the Head. Happy New Year.
