Saw 2 moose today!
Saw 2 moose today!, originally uploaded by aimos325.
First, I was driving to my house and when I turned onto the road there was a humongous moose on the side of the road! Then, on my way back to my apartment I had to wait for this guy to cross the parking lot. I don't normally see a lot of moose around my part of town so this was a crazy day!

Another work window shot... The sun FINALLY came out today and I liked
the reflections from our building onto the yellow building and also off
the building downtown that illuminated a sliver of remaining fog... I'm
a fan of the freezing fog-it's dreary but then it coats everything in
white for a little bit. I think we got it because it's been in the 20's
and then dropped down to single digits today. Better than ice fog any
day!

Cerimonial photo
Took this while scraping THE LAST of the popcorn from the ceilings downstairs. Just need to do a little patching (I did a really good job in the dining room though (toot toot!)-- now that I know what's going on and how much of a pain it is to deal with ripped paper) and priming and I'm ready for a little spray-on orange peel and PAINT.

beautiful day
it was a beautiful day in Anchorage today! Caught a glimpse of the
mountains on a quick trip to Home Depot today.
scraps
I brought some a stack of squares of fabric my mom had been working
on-- some of the fabrics come from Grandma Johnson, some from my mom
and some from my Great Aunt Alice. I think the squares would look
pretty in a nine patch arrangement. Got a lot on my plate right now
but I can't wait to get going on some sewing projects!
popcorn free!
SHEW! Finished removing the popcorn today. Had a few glasses of wine
during the homestretch... the edges turned out to be pretty easy,
just a lot of moving the ladder and sore hands since I had to switch
to a small putty knife instead of my 10" wide scraper on a pole. Next
up: smoothing out the rough spots and the places I ripped the paper.

Aimee vs. Popcorn Ceiling
Got about 12 sft of smooth-ish ceiling. Not gonna lie, I'm a little
discouraged (it's HARD) but not giving up!!! Put a little paint on
the walls too, test spots of "sassy green" and "viva gold". When the
guy handed them to me he said "ok, and here's the sassy... and the
viva." :-)

sparkly
so so pretty! I loved the way it sparkles in the sun and the designs
and colors are beautiful.
Chicago Cultural Center
This is the old public library and now it's the Cultural Center.
Gorgeous building. Around the base of the dome reads: "Books are the
legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind which are delivered
down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of
those who are yet unborn. - Addison" Fun fact: the dome is the
largest Tiffany dome in the world.
