the three ring ranch.

when we would take our frequent drives in colorado...we would sometimes end up in an area that was speckled with ranches. mostly horse ranches from what i could tell, but one thing was always certain...at the entrance of their sometimes gated drive there would be a big elaborate sign stating the name of their acreage. while some more creative than others, i asked mike what our ranch would be named if we lived on one...and we came up with 'the three ring ranch'. a play on a three ring circus =) so hence the post title...it has been nothing short of a three ring ranch around here lately!

we started prepping the kitchen today for the restart of "the michaeleyna floor renovation project". i have changed the name due to the proceedings w/ the much anticipated confirmation that we will start immediately. michael brought home the tile that will be placed in the bathroom & entryway, once the kitchen floor is done. and the new carpet is scheduled for this friday! we'll be staying up at the 'parental hotel' again while the dust flies during the sanding process & the stain is applied. as much as i want to help & get my own hands dirty in the renovation, i'm physically incapable of doing so =( and breathing in toxic fumes is not acceptable pregnant lady behavior. but, on the day the carpet is laid, i'll probably come over just to lay around on it & breath in it's lovely 'new carpet' smell for a bit. that change alone is going to be a-maz-ing! i do plan on making a photographic log of the progress, including before's & after's...but i am going to wait until the final projects are complete before posting. just to take a little pressure off. i, more than likely, won't be posting either until then, or the new baby arrives! i've got some other much needed organization & catch up to tend to. so i'm giving myself a blogging time-out for now. but stay tuned to the exciting announcements soon to come! over & out.
