It’s my mother’s birthday today. I was SO hoping that she would live to see this day, but of couse, she missed it by nearly 3 months. I’m trying to keep myself busy, which isn’t hard because I have tons of work to do. I will also be happy to make it through Mother’s Day this year. I found out that she was sick last year on Mother’s Day, and it’s hard to believe that she was gone within one year.
Enough of the depressing stuff . . . to celebrate her birthday — to celebrate her in general, I have the contractors here doing my home improvement projects.
My mother was an advocate of having everything in your home the way you want it, and I can hear her saying “Gina, you work every day and make your own money. If you’re not working to make your life better, then what are you working for? You should have what you want.”
And people wonder why I’m so spoiled. 
That’s right, today’s the day! The day that my new countertops are installed, and the day that the God-shaped hole in the ceiling of my powder room gets fixed, and the room is painted. I also get new recessed lighting and a new vanity. I can barely contain myself.
I’ll post before and after pics so that everyone can check out the progress.
