THE DOORS
It was Sunday morning.
Lifeguard said
" You sleep in today, I'll walk the dogs"
I mumbled
"aww... thank you...you're so sweet"
I rolled over and swiftly fell back to sleep, just in time to jump back into
the dream I was enjoying before the dogs thundered onto the bed.
I woke up again at 9:30
I must have been tired to have slept that long.
I thought it would be a great day to just work on some projects that
somehow piled up on my dining room table.
I finished up the center square of a Round Robin Quilt.
I wrote a post about it on my SewRuffHaven.
I also posted my pics in the Flickr Group.
I took a gazzillion photos of Goldie.
Her leg is healing nicely, but she is still so upset
because she is not allowed to chase the squirrels.
I tweeted about Goldie....yes I tweet.
Surprised? I don't promote myself on Twitter,
but I do use it to communicate with some online friends.
Not the intended use,
I know, but it is a quick way to "talk" to all your friends at once.
Occasionally I will shout out that I have room for another dog.
and my blog posts are announced on twitter too.
I checked FaceBook....yeah, I am on there too.
Not much, and I think I have about 30 friends...
if you friend me and I " know" you... I'll accept
...But I really don't go looking for people.
I guess am a bit on the edge of "why am I on FB?"
so by now it is a little after noon
I walked the dogs down to the stream for some rejuvenating exercise.
Oh then I was ready for my nap.
I do take a 30 minute nap everyday.
The dogs taught me that a nap a day is very good for you.
When I woke up I had to finish a blog post
for a LaborDay Blog Hop over on PaperPlay .
I was starting to wonder what I would have for dinner,
happy, because my day is so pleasant and peaceful.
OH SHIT !
I promised Lifeguard I would paint the side door of the garage !
Oh No...It's 4 f 'n :30 and I forgot about the door .
Shit Shit Shit. huff .....
I should have done this in the morning...instead of sleeping in.
I bought the paint the day before and Lifeguard laughed and said something like
" Only two days left to honor your promise to paint the door before the end of Summer"
I replied in my best ' i'm right and you're wrong ' snotty voice,
" Well Summer doesn't officially end until September 23, 5:04 A.M.,
which is the minute before Autumn will begin"
I puffed my chest out all proud of myself for having that
bit of knowledge stored in my cluttered brain.
But I did make a promise,
and in Lifeguard's brain, Summer ends on LaborDay.....
so I gathered my supplies.
The butter knife is for opening the paint and the glass pan is for holding the paint.
...I was too lazy to go down to the basement to get the proper tools.
Plus I was in a bit of a hurry now
After about 1/2 hour of cleaning and painting .
I was finished with the first coat.
when it dies it will match the other door perfectly.
and I only got a little bit of paint on one finger
With the first coat out of the way I could go back
to organizing my pins on Pinterest.
* hangs head *
yes I am on there too...but in my defense ...I only have 8 boards
Later that evening Lifeguard came home and smiled in approval
"Thank you for painting the doors" he said
"I'm sure your online friends missed you today"
HA!
I smiled....and thought to myself...
how long does he think it takes to paint a door?
