This Old House

cameron's surgery went well
not as much pain as last time

took a walk around du's campus with
schnooze for some air and mobility
sorta bored already

when I walked in this am
(that's really bored)

the immobilizer sling
and a cooling ice arm sleeve thing
it shoots ice cols water (as cold as 30*)
through the sleeve.

feel realllllly good!

(cameron's side... he called it)

my area of basement

CRAFT AREA!!!!!

it's all organized as you can see and i love it

right side of basement

the finished side

it's a pit b/c it's cam's space while he's

recovering. it has the TV and the futon.

we found that the futon as a bed is

much more condusive for us

to watch tv together.

blog stalking every time, promise! new job has taken away time to comment each time, but i'm still enjoying all of the posts! was it hilarious to run around the house taking pictures "for the blog"?

psst...I used spring tension curtain rods for my ribbon when I organized it in my bookcase. I used the cheap ones you can get at wal-mart for 2 bucks or so. You just slip the rubber stopper off of one end, slide the ribbon on and put the stopper back on. then you can adjust it to the length you need.

i love the house! it's looking so cute!
