Project: Wilbur

Haha, "Project: Wilbur" makes me giggle. Sounds like a top secret military operation!

This project in my life is about raising my Boston Terrier puppy to be an upstanding citizen. At this point...he has a long way to go! He is as adorable as can be, but he only has some training (sit, stay, lay down, working on "beg")...and it all goes out the window when we go outside and he has other distractions! 

In the next couple weeks he will be going through some new experiences that will definitely make a change to his personality, hopefully for the better, but not too different! Next week is his neutering surgery! He goes in for pre-surgery bloodwork after work on Monday, April 6th and then his surgery is all day Friday, April 10th. I picked that day so I could make sure I was there with him over the weekend at all times. 

I will also be enrolling him in PetSmart obedience classes with me starting the end of April. They are 8 week classes to teach him more manners, training with distractions and overall obediance to my commands. 

Whew... should be an interesting month for Wilbur!!

Project: AT Cure

Its almost April!!! That means it's technically spring!!! Which means... Spring Cleaning!!

I really do love spring cleaning. When I get in the right mood, I can clean & organize for hours. Hopefully I will be getting in that mood a lot in the next few weeks!

Im working on the Apartment Therapy Spring Cure for the first and much needed time! I have been living in my apartment for about 10 months now and got 1/2 way settled then busy/not sure how long I was saying. I have finally decided that I will be resigning my lease, so will be here until at least June 2010! So let the official settling in begin! I have things to do like typical reorganizing and decluttering, but I also have a few projects including:
  • Setting up my wireless internet (I am VERY technically challenged...and continue to put this off. It really is a big "project" for me... :-/ )
  • Fixing my "jewelry situation", which includes a craft project involving finding well worn wood and my random assortment of Anthropolgie hooks (love)
  • Lightening up my dark wood living room...somehow...any ideas are MORE than welcome!
  • Adding interest to my boring white bedroom with horrible art that has been following me for a few years now. Considering painting an accent wall....
Here are my before pics taken via cell phone camera since my point and shoot is yet ANOTHER project needed to be taken care of (when I turn it on it zooms all the way in and won't zoom back out...hrmmm)

Apartment Therapy BEFORE pics...

I have a few other "projects" going on in my life at the moment that I am going to be blogging about on here as well. Check back for the excitement to follow!!!
