Tortilla Soup

I love this movie.

 

Michael and I watched it on Friday night.  I think the first time I watched it might have been when I was bedridden a few years ago after having my wisdom teeth removed.  I know, some of it may be a bit cheesy, but sometimes, cheesy is good.  Watching it inspired me to attempt to make our home more open, airy, and inviting.

So, Saturday, when we went to WalMart to grocery shop, we also bought long, white curtains for the living room.  They're great.  They reflect the sun from outside which, in turn, seems to make the living room brighter and airy.  I love it.  Now I just have to come across another spare bit of money so that I can do the same to the windows in the bedroom.

In the meantime, I'd like to downsize the bed so that it's not quite so bulky in our current bedroom and try to figure out if there is a way to create a space-efficient hammock stand.  Andy's apartment (from the movie) inspired me.

I figure, as long as we are still here, I might as well do all I can to make this house comfortable and inviting.  Then, whenever we do move, we'll have all the right things to do the same in our next house!

I think I might also try making some tortilla soup in the Crock Pot tomorrow if I can get a few of the ingredients that I don't have.
