Miscellany


Spring break starts as soon as I pick the girls up from school today. And that can only mean one thing. . . we girls head to Nana and Papa's for the week and Razor undertakes a gargantuan home improvement task that no mere mortal should be able to complete in one week.  This year it will be priming and painting the new ceiling that he installed in the bathroom and bedroom.  And installing the wood flooring in each.  And staining it.  And sealing it.  And trimming it all out. 

Oh.  And painting all the walls in said bathroom and bedroom.

All while working his normal day job.

Slacker.

Speaking of slackers, I'm checking out of this space for the next week.  Gonna enjoy spring break and actually take a break.  I'm feeling run down from all the travels lately and I just want to rest up.  Well, rest up, eat well, play board games, look for shells at the beach, and hang with some of my favorite people on the planet.  All while my most favorite person sits at home eating bon-bons.

We'll catch up again soon.

P.S.  Isn't that scotch bottle the cutest thing ever?  The plastic "roof" comes off to reveal the bottle spout.  Any info on it?  Or suggestions what I should do with it?

And good luck to your hubby... sounds like he might need it!

Blessings, Kimberly
