DIY Headboard

I have been sans headboard since 2001.  I thought maybe I'd use a painting or make something, but I never got around to it.  That is, til Nana pushed my idea!

I wanted a canvas with meaningful writing.  But I couldn't afford a giant canvas!  We used painter's canvas.  At least a quarter of the price at Walmart!  Cut it to the desired size, Nana sewed a slip for a piece of wood, and I painted my desired text.  

PS, that was over a month ago!  Today I finally trimmed the wood, drilled small holes for the nails, nailed up one side, and using a level, finally tacked in the last nail.  

Tonight will be our first night with a headboard!  Next task, make the rest of the room not-so-institutional!!!

I know it looks crooked, but it's the camera girl, not the wall or the headboard!!!

Yum!

Grilled Chicken, Pesto, Dijon Panini with Smoked Gouda!!!

I am excited about the meals this week!  Except for Lenny's.... It's not my favorite.  And they didn't honor my coupon here in Alaska.... I guess I don't have a reason to go back.... Except to get pancake puppies!  I love them!  But I love them even more when I make them at home!!!

I love the USA! Tomorrow will be my 2nd Independence day on a military base, but my first 4th of July without fireworks.... It' too bright here in Alaska! With less than 5 hours of darkness (more like dusk!), we have to wait til December for the pyrotechnics! But snow and fireworks is actually a GREAT combo!

I'm still excited for the December display!

So on to the meal planning....

We have another yummy week ahead of us...

And did I mention I have a 5K on Saturday? Maybe I'll switch up the food. We'll have the salad the night before... And a salad all the other days!!! So, I will show off my 'wog'.... That's a walk/jog! Not fast, not slow, just from start to finish. That's my goal, to finish! And to complete it in under an hour. (I accomplished that at my last 5k, too, and I jogged less than a mile!) Everything I read about a 5K, everyone is worried about training like 2 months beforehand... That's not my style. My only worry is for my feet!

Operation Overcome Black Thumb is a Go...

Attempting, from left to right, tomatoes, bell peppers, lettuce, daisies, and cilantro!
