Balance

Last weekend we did house stuff for most of Saturday, and then went for a long walk. It's nice to realize that even though it's the middle of winter over here and a bit chilly, we can still walk along the beach!

Thanks to diligent research and random polling of friends and family, we've finally settled on a decent kitchen design. I'm gathering quotes now, and we just need to finalize some details. It's amazing how much second-guessing is involved with everything. We bought a beautiful dark brown vanity for the bathroom and all I've been doing is wondering if we should've gone with a lighter color. Then I'll see a dark colored one in a magazine and think, "That looks good -- we did the right thing." But then I'll see a light colored one and the obsessing starts all over again.



I'm sure not having a job has contributed to this constant mental back-and-forth. I don't see Iain freaking out over faucets and tile selections and kitchen door handles. Once I begin working, I won't have time to obsess over this kind of thing. Hopefully.
