A couple of years ago I gave up my computer for Holy Week. Last year I gave up sleep, as in, I consistently got up at the same time every morning in order to have an extended quiet time in the mornings.
This year, almost a week into the Lent season I still hadn't decided what I wanted/needed to give up...until
I mean, an honest to goodness problem!
So much so, that Josh has been having to hold me accountable when the "urge" to move something begins to well up within.
Ahem.
Anyway, I decided that day that this was exactly what I was going to give up for Lent.
Some of you may be reading this and wondering what in the world I've been smoking, and others of you are right there with me, right?!
But today, oh today, I've had the urge like none other.
But I was NOT going to give in.
I sat in the office and closed my eyes, mentally moving and rearranging furniture around until I decided that I needed to give my "sponsor" a call.
Josh picked up the phone and I quickly told him that I hadn't given in, but that my creative mind was whirling with new ideas that would make our home more practical and Colony friendly.
(For real though, rearranging has a way of making your home feel brand new, without even having to spend a penny!)
He patiently and quietly sat through my brainstorming process.
As soon as I was all done he said, "Ok. Um, alright. Now, maybe you could draw it all out so I can picture it better."
OK! I can do that!
I may be confined to renderings for now, but just you wait!
Easter is right around the corner:)

Funny, funny, funny. Rick use to say when he would come home from being out of town, "Honey, if I was a blind man, I would fall and break my neck." Tripping over things that were not in the same place as they were when he left. So, I feel your pain. Bring on Easter for many reasons!
It probably didn't help that your sis-in-law brought you goodies to tempt you to rearrange your house ;)
