At least I love the results, just not the process. I can't concentrate with stuff like that going on around me. I'm learning to roll with it rather than stress over what I can't get done. Of course, then I become OCD and hawk/stress over whether the work on the house is being done right ;).Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283987261815273280.post-89380992198923900052011-04-07T08:19:22.697-05:002011-04-07T08:19:22.697-05:00Elizabeth - It was the noise that did me in.
