Later.

With incense, lots of incense...

I hope everything goes smoothly and you're enjoying some peace and serenity by dinnertime tonight.

thanks, CG.  I think it's going to be a 24 hour moving out process...but after that I've got the peace thing on the menu.

I imagine it will be quite a relief when the move-out is over.  Do you have some treat for yourself planned?
by CabinGirl on Wed Jul 16th, 2008 at 07:57:52 AM EST

I am treating myself to something Cajun tomorrow...

And the kids are all leaving for Ecuador on Saturday so I'll have two weeks to get some projects done. I guess I'll clean out his room and turn it into a guest room.  And I bought a cool old buffet at goodwill that I'm going to redo.  And of course, Hopey and Frank the Schnoodle will keep me company.

Sounds good to me.  Got pictures of your Goodwill score?  

And what paint colors do you have in mind for your new guest room?  :)
