Tuesday morning. Sorry I haven't been around much. I had a successful visit with the MIL and nephews this weekend and then Mick called last night for the first time since they had to put out to sea because of a typhoon. We went nearly a week without talking on the phone and now I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it when he's out to sea for a month or more at a time - yikes!

In other news, they've put the exterior paint up at our new townhouse and - yessss! - we're going to be chocolate brown with pale sand trim. I was so hoping we'd get that color, especially as the neighbors across the courtyard are the same color, so that will be my view from my bedroom and the living room. You cannot imagine how excited I'm getting about my beautiful new home. I keep thinking about the lovely toast-colored bamboo flooring (everything downstairs) and the stainless appliances in the kitchen and how I'll be the first one to hang clothes in my closet...I just can't stand the wait. Of course I'm nowhere near ready to move yet, so the 2-1/2 months is a good thing.

I don't know why, exactly, but I have a very good feeling about today. I think I'm going to be productive and happy...let's hope.
