So that's why I felt like I was melting those last couple of months!

TGIF, everyone. It's been a loooong week. Thinking I might paint my hallway this weekend since the Great Orange Wave (aka deer hunters) will be descending upon us. Anyone want to help? I'll pay you in wine and laughter. Or in dacs' case, root beer and laughter.

Hmmmm.....I think I am going to clean the carpet in my bedroom......fix the steps out back so I don't break my neck (wash and scrub, let dry, paint the edges, install traction tape).....work on cleaning up the "bunny room" aka extra bedroom. Laundry. Sleep. Eat. Drink. Be merry. The usual weekend stuff. Supposed to be in the 20's tomorrow night and I think 40's during the day. Yuck.

Sounds like a typical weekend at my house too Beaner. Just add in a little goofing off with the kids and there you have it! Thinking a trip to the movie theatre might be in order for a nice diversion. It's actually supposed to be 55 and sunny here tomorrow, so I may get out my blaze orange and finish mulching the flower beds for the winter.

I should do some weed whacking of the final batch of out of control weeds.......or pull some....but I hate yard work or gardening. I avoid it at all costs. Sigh. I would rather build another chicken coop. I have one I need to finish..........

Well, I'm going to River Falls, WI for Thanksgiving.

If you go, oh, about 4 - 4 1/2 hours further northwest I will be happy to serve you and the Mrs. Dacs some TG leftovers dacs!

No, Dacs can't handle something as strong as root beer. He'll be wanting Ovaltine. Warm.

I, however, would prefer a Cosmo with a wedge of lime and ice on the side. Thank you.


Ah, I feel much better.

I am reeking of Pine-Sol since I spent the last hour scrubbing our kitchen cabinet doors. I needed three new buckets of hot water & grimebuster to do it all. Hey, it's only been 12 years since I did it last - oh wait, I guess I never did get around to scrubbing our cheap cabinet doors. Well now they only look like there's 11 years of grime on them. Yay me!

I have turned into a cleaning freaksnob.

If one of my buds on this thread ever needs a major houseclean overhaul, all I need is airfare.

Makes me crazy that I don't live within a few hours of Belle. I'd be there - I'm serious. But she'd have to protect her little chirpling children from being hoovered or Swiffering up and thrown out because when I'm in a cleaning mode, nothing else matters.

Oh wait, that's the Pine-Sol talking. I think I'd figure it out if little Ella were in my vacuum bag...

Well, you see, I used to keep my horses at my parents' place, which is down the road a mile or so from us. Had a wedding to go to, two small children, hubby had emergency calls to attend to, couldn't get over there to do chores until it was time to go to the wedding, so flew through in full wedding regalia to toss out hay, pump water and do a leg and eyeball check. It's great fun sinking into the ground with every step.

Yes, I could have worn boots, but I was in such a hurry I forgot them!

Ahem. I can't help but notice that it took you several minutes to come up with this story... I wonder if your DH could come summon the same one.... Just sayin'.

Nells, how's them bruises? I bet you woke up today with some unexpected aches.

I felt surprisingly good when I woke up today. The only spots that hurt are the spots that are black and blue. I do have a bruise the size and shape of a footprint on my butt. Looks like someone literally kicked my behind. Must have been where the majority of my "weight" landed. I would post a picture but I'm pretty sure I'm on the wrong message board for that. Between the ginormous bruise on my butt, the scrape/bruise on my hip, the huge scrape on my arm which is now bruising underneath, and the bunny scratches all over my arms and chest from Stella the giant bastardly bunny who likes to kick......I look like an abuse victim. If my boyfriend lived locally, people might be tempted to put a hit out on him. As it is now, I just have to tell the "fell down the steps" story a lot.
