I wish I was Supergirl

I don't really wish I was supergirl....that would probably get pretty annoying having crazy super powers. I do wish I could fly-or at least hover in the air.  A couple weeks ago, I started one of the projects that has been on my list for 3 months now....hang pictures on our walls.  About a month ago I managed to hang a few empty frames and some pictures above our living room couch. The blank frames are still there.  The difficult part of hanging the frames to me is putting them on the wall so it looks aesthetically good.  I am kind of an asymmetrical person but I still like things to match and like seeing a pattern. (even if the pattern only makes sense in my head) To get an idea of what I had to use, I pulled almost all of the frames out of the closet....Rory had tons. Some of which were far to big for me to actually use so I left them in the closet.

I started out on the stairs. But, being my typical self, I wasn't about to start putting pictures up without somewhat of an idea of where I wanted to place things so I decided it would be a good idea to lay some out on the floor of our living room and then transfer them to the wall. Here is where I ran into my problem.  I realize that I am not the tallest girl out there. And NO that is not a complaint because I love that Rory is taller that me, especially when I wear my 4-5 inch high heels.  Hanging the pictures toward the top of the stairs was no problem for me. Now, as for the pictures along the wall as the stairs go down....Problem.  I can only reach so high at my towering 5'4".  Now, I have to wait for Rory to hang those pictures.  And I thought, I could do it all alone.....Side note: it's been 2 weeks since I hung the frames and Rory still hasn't hung the 2 small frames I wanted on the stairs.

 When we first moved into the apartment I talked to Rory about my desire to hang pictures.    The problem with that is, every time I want to start a "project" it's 8 or 9 at night and by that time Rory is ready to start "winding" down.  It drives him crazy that later in the evening, I am wanting to start a long project that requires thinking, particularly hanging pictures on the wall.  Hence, the reason why this project has never actually gotten done. If I was supergirl I could have flown or at least hovered in the air to hang those higher pictures alone. Ah well.... I managed to get the frames on the wall.  


A week later, I went through pictures of the kids, Rory, and myself and printed them at Costco.  I would have never guess that it would have taken so long to put pictures in frames and collages.  But all in an afternoon's work and I managed to get a picture in every frame. (minus the two frames Rory hasn't hung yet. ;) - maybe next year.
