Before and After

April 14, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Hey, guess what?  I didn’t drop off the face of the earth.  We have been going ninety miles a minute lately but today we are leaving for our much-needed vacation to New Orleans.  It’s either take a vacation or watch David lose his mind.  Honestly, that man has been working himself to death lately.  My workload doesn’t compare to his but it’s been exceptionally crazy for me lately, too.  If I’m too busy to blog, I’m too busy. 😉

In preparation for our vacation, I spent all day Tuesday cleaning house.  I even took before and after shots to share with my nosy curious readers.  I uploaded them on our very. slow. connection.  But that’s as far as I got.  I planned to point out all the messy stuff and the way that we still have the Christmas wreath hanging above the fireplace but I’m out of time.  You’ll just have to look for all that yourself.

Here are the before shots:

And here are the pictures after I cleaned, vacuumed and mopped until I threw my neck out.  Thank goodness for chiropractors!

Not perfect but good enough to leave.  Especially since our son will be taking care of the place while we are gone and bless his heart, that guy leaves a trail.

I plan to try to blog some while we are in New Orleans but if that doesn’t work out and you are really curious, you can friend me on Facebook (if you haven’t already) and at least see pictures of all the delicious seafood I plan to consume while we are there.

If you send me a friend request be sure to mention that you read my Tea With Dee blog.  I get some weird requests and if I don’t know who it is I usually ignore them.  Unless I can see their wall and they look interesting. 😉

Okay, gotta finish packing!
