We have a long weekend coming up so I took tomorrow and Friday off to make it extra long! I'm having some small renovations done at my house and painting a hallway. Today is another miserable snowy and icy day so I made it an even longer long weekend and took today off too. I'm going to start on my painting today but as I wait for the paint to dry I'm planning on scrapping! YAY! I am FINALLY going to have a chance to play with my new Gemini Jr. and 12x12 printer! Maybe I will finally get my Christmas layout done!!

I took off Friday to do the taxes, then a crop Fri night and Sat to look forward to. Might have to do some sewing on Monday. One thing is for sure - I will take a nap on at least 3 of the days! I also have some Christmas layouts to do.

Color me jealous! I am off tomorrow through Tuesday to go to Texas for a wedding. I'll love the warm weather. But, is it wrong I'd rather hole up at home and play?

So much for playing with my new toys... I'm too exhausted from all the work. I thought that painting a relatively small hallway would give me tons of time to scrap while waiting for the paint to dry... no such luck... It's turned out to be a bigger job with more problems than I anticipated! I lined up contractors to do a couple of "fixes" while I'm off and even those jobs are taking longer than they thought... I finally sat down now with a glass of wine now thinking I'd try to do something that doesn't involve sanding, painting or cleaning... but I think what I need to do is to shut off the lights and hit the sack! Next contractor arrives at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow... Somehow going to work is far less tiresome!

I know what you mean, my days off wear me out more than a work day sometimes.  Enjoy your time off! I'm off Monday and took Tuesday as well. I need to get the winter decorations put away and get my house back to normal. I'm tired of looking at snowmen! |

But, is it wrong I'd rather hole up at home and play? I'm right there with you! But since it's snowing here again, I'd enjoy the warmer weather too. streetscrapper, so sorry! Are you close to finished with your hall painting so you can play after it's completed? |

Are you close to finished with your hall painting so you can play after it's completed? I wish... I had an old light fixturge removed and pot lights installed last weekend. I got 2 coats of paint on the ceiling but ran into a problem with the patch where the old light was and will have to touch it up with paint as soon as the new patch dries. I’m putting the smoke dectector over it so it doesn’t have to be perfect but it sure was a downer last night when I realized what needed to be done! I’ve got all the door frames and baseboards taped off so I can slap up the first coat of paint, but right now I’ve got a contractor in my bathroom doing a repair to the shower so I have to wait until he’s done to start painting! Think he’s close to being finished so the first coat of paint will hopefully be underway shortly. I’m told I have to wait for 2 hours before doing the second coat. Those 2 hours are set aside for “play”... I hope... |

As a substitute teacher I can block myself out when I don’t want to work. I worked every last week and had stuff both days on the bookend weekends. Felt like it was time to not work. Just so happens DH needs to travel this week so it was the perfect reason to not work. We have 4 German Shepherds that we don’t like to leave for 9 hours. So Wednesday I updated our company Quick Books to get our information to the account by the end of the month. Finished up yesterday. I’m working on recreating layouts for my boys albums so I used my spare minutes to do bits and pieces.
