keep up the mo'

So, after wallowing in my new stuff last night, as I went into bed, I stubbed my toe on yet another box. I'm actually kind of surprised that I have any toes left, but I digress...

This morning I sent this note to Sheri:

Sheri, I'm loving the good new stuff but I sure don't want to lose momentum and I think we kind of are - or maybe it's just that stuff is going on that I don't know about. I really really really want to get the stuff out of boxes and onto shelves walls whatever. As of right now, I don't know of anything that is happening other than the chaise is being made (I hope...) for delivery next month.

Below is a partial list of things... Could you kind of give me a status on where we are? When they might happen or what happens next and when that might happen? (i.e. decision by xx/xx and then x weeks until delivered/installed)

I've probably forgotten stuff so feel free to add!

Thanks, S.

• Curtains for bedroom
• Curtain for front room
• Curtains for terrace
• Shelves for hallway - you said last week that we'd discuss this week...
• Shelves for mugs in kitchen - ditto
• Window seat
• Office setup
• Reading light for bedroom
• Pictures framed/hung
• Carpet bound for kitchen/half bath/front and back doormats
• Shelf under message board

I got a note back that she was walking out the door and she'd send a proper reply when she got back this afternoon. She's done such a wonderful job of everything except keeping track. I have asked her several times if we couldn't use something like a project spreadsheet or even just a running list and she's agreed every time that something like that would be very good and she'd get right on it. And she never has.

But now we are at the point where enough has been done that she can feel some accomplishment (and she should) but in my book, we are still a fair distance from the finish line/celebration point/laurel resting place... And my toes are still getting stubbed!

Hard to pin down those "Artistic Types". I hope it happens soon. Frustrating time.
