This meant taking down blinds that have seen at least one world war, removing a floor to ceiling mantel installation that dwarfed the rest of the room, and patching. More patching, sanding (God do I hate joint compound dust), and painting. Lots of it. <br /><br />Presently, hubs and I are trying not to kill each other, but honestly, it's touch and go right now. What I wouldn't give for just an untidy room. *SIGH<br /><br />Enjoy the hammock.VAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07670036848321892345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-68700895117195241342010-09-03T20:06:19.320-04:002010-09-03T20:06:19.320-04:00And I thought my summer was busy.

I'm starting to think it's the only food group. Unfortunately we are out of delivery territory, so I had to go pick it up. Probably would have been faster to cook, but this way I get to forego creating dirty dishes.<br /><br />Great post, Judi! I can't wait to read all the genie books.

Your trip sounds great--2 years ago I drove a rented U-Haul from St. Louis to Seattle helping my son and his girlfriend move to their first post-college jobs . . . and I was amazed by South Dakota (seriously!), Montana, and Washington. Good luck digging out from the long weekend and here's hoping you have some time to dig into those TBR shelves.Judy Merrill Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675069484490433295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-29679576084079291152010-09-03T17:13:14.047-04:002010-09-03T17:13:14.047-04:00No room service?

I need a hotel and luckily, we had a ton of Marriott and Holiday Inn points, so rooms weren't that expensive. And I got my internet fix b/c there is basically zero AT&T service in Wyoming, so the iPhone was a glorified iPod. But I'm really glad we did the trip. The kids and hubs really enjoyed it. I did it with my parents when I was 14, so it wasn't new to me, but I enjoyed their awe at nature's and man's beauty.Judi Fennellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913199632952461638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-6107866249580695192010-09-03T11:50:25.376-04:002010-09-03T11:50:25.376-04:00Judi, your 11-day road trip sounds right up my hus...Judi, your 11-day road trip sounds right up my husband's alley (including the trip to the brewery)! Every other day, he asks, "So, you want to rent a Winnebago and do the national parks?" Um, not right now, babe. I have a deadline in a couple months! Thanks for your fun post on this Friday morning!

I'd love to take your nature route. I think my youngest is finally ready to behold the Grand Canyon and be a trooper about all the hiking. <br /><br />It's so good to have a paranormal author among us to keep the magic alive. If - no, I should say when - I sell my YA, I'll join you. <br /><br />Happy Labor day, gals!Malenahttp://www.malenalott.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-35333880406762459572010-09-03T06:24:15.830-04:002010-09-03T06:24:15.830-04:00As a mom to three teenage daughters, I know of the...As a mom to three teenage daughters, I know of the chaos of which you speak. Our house is the one everyone wants to hang out at...one filled with too much sugar, board games, movie marathons and my husband's good food. One filled to the brim on Sunday nights for "True Blood" because other parents are probably better at this than I and won't allow their own children to watch it in their homes. (Not really, I think it's fang-tastic!) At times, the thought crosses my writer's mind that perhaps I will lock myself away in my study to avoid the madness, but I reconsider because I never know how many more of the wonderful nights I have left with my girls and their respectful, fun, great friends. And if nothing else, there is always fodder for some quirky new character I'm creating. Thanks for a funny start to Friday and good luck finding your rugs on Monday! :)Jill Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336227232690745889noreply@blogger.com
