Old Soul, Young Heart

Several times over the course of 2015, I've had a thought and it was this: It sure would be nice if I kept track of all the books I read . I'm curious about how many and what types of books I've read this year and I want to keep track of the ones I started but didn't finish. So a great new year's resolution is in the making! I'm going to write book reviews! It's a good way to track what I read and also give me a recap of what each book is about, since I oftentimes remember the title of a book, but can't remember its plot. This will also give me the opportunity to write because I miss writing. (I haven't blogged since June!) I'm reading a book right now called The Taming of the Queen by Philippa Gregory. She is one of my favorite authors of historical fiction. So my first book review will come soon because I have just a few days left of it! So stay tuned.

I started writing this post in April of last year. Whoops. Three bathrooms is more than we had ever hoped for in a house. We knew we wanted at least one and a half. It's nice to not have guests go into the bathroom that you shower in. We are so lucky to have three toilets! The bathroom on the first floor has been kind of, maybe, the biggest "reno" project to date. (I had nothing to do with it besides painting and decorating.) It is teeny. Like super teeny tiny. We call it "the little bathroom." But it works. This is what it looked like before: Mauve paint. Plastic, cream-colored shelving. The smallest toilet seat you've ever seen/sat on. High school bathroom sink/faucet. Mirror/medicine cabinet from the 1970s. Everything just nasty with grime. You can't even see the light fixture, but rest assured, it was awesome! Seeing this picture again grosses me out. It was so nasty! Even the paint color on the wall behind the bathroom grosses me out. Oliv
