When her best friend wins a trip-for-two to Greece, she packs her bags, leaves a note on the kitchen table, and heads for a fortnight of rest and relaxation. What she finds is romance and a new awareness of who she is and what her existence can be with just a little effort on her part.Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-10897693295244618912011-08-24T07:45:48.272-05:002011-08-24T07:45:48.272-05:00OK -you gals had your laugh at my expense but you...OK -you gals had your laugh at my expense but you know what they say about being at a football game and thinking that they are talking about you in the huddle--THEY ARE JK-I'M NOT A ALARMIST JUST PARANOID SCHIZOIDjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818275450006660503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-87224065368125558752011-08-23T20:15:29.051-05:002011-08-23T20:15:29.051-05:00Stephanie - Now that I see all the walls painted i...Stephanie - Now that I see all the walls painted in that cheerful yellow I love it already!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-57117461510481380852011-08-23T20:14:45.021-05:002011-08-23T20:14:45.021-05:00Erin - Yep, no hurricanes, no tornadoes . . . but ...Erin - Yep, no hurricanes, no tornadoes . . . but we have had a couple of incidents of horrendous straight-line winds in the last ten years though. <br /><br />I got talked into buying some green "frog tape" for my painting of walls (had lots of moulding to paint around) and it's the best stuff I've found.

I made a conscious decision 3 paint jobs ago to not tape or cover floors anymore - surprisingly I found I cut in better without tape and the floor???? - latex wipes off so easily I don't even worry about it, even on the wood! Loving all these updates, but get some fresh air, Mama! Hey we may need your "padded room" to evacuate to come Friday heehee...

I do not stay still well.) We ate our lunch out on the deck today and I took healthy, deep breaths all the time out there. (Just about choked on my pickle.) Do I get any credit for that?<br /><br />Sparkless - I don't talk to the walls but I say awful, bad things to the drips and splatters of paint that get away from me.<br /><br />judy - If you haven't yet heard, Erin didn't even know about the quake. She didn't feel a thing. Thankfully!<br /><br />Dmarie - I'm feeling much better today, thanks. We're really liking the yellow, too!<br /><br />Sue - The pantry is full . . . of supplies for the remodeling. I just knew that was gonna happen.
