So DD wanted to do the first stain coat so we did, it's not as dark as we would like. If the second coat, which we will do tomorrow, does not get significantly darker, I will go get a more paint like stain. But I am so happy we are doing this project together. I think she is too.

I am home from my visit to the city. The fireworks were nice. Then this morning we went to a car show. There were some nice cars there, not the least of which was the one I got to arrive in 😉
I'm heading into town in a bit, need to do some shopping for Monday. And I need to clean like a mad woman tomorrow. It's supposed to storm most of Monday, need to make my area company ready.

you rode in THE car?
Ok turned the oven on to make dinner. Babysitter made coffee cake the other day, brown sugar topping all over the bottom of the oven which I did not notice until the house filled with smoke.

OK, i haven't sat down all day! Cleaning the house for DD's sleepover, food shopping, cooking. And, DD and i decided to spray paint our lawn furniture as it was starting to get rusty. So, we did that and then we ran out and had to run to the hardware, etc. Then my oldest son came home from work and wanted me to whip up some fettucine alfredo. I didn't have chicken so i made it with sausage. Fortunately, i usually have a chunk of parmesan cheese on hand. He was happy. Then, cut up some watermelon and made some trays for DD, etc. And, during all that time, i have been training my dog with a dog training collar. Ok now i am going to have my coffee.

Yes, yes I did he also pointed out the gloves in the console in case I ever drive it. Apparently wearing gloves while driving is a rule.
and I may have called you a "weird hybrid". But I meant it in the most loving way possible.

He has never suggested I drive his car. And weird hybrid??? What does that mean?

well, you're not just my boyfriend's mom, you're my friend too - you were my friend first actually. he threatened to tell on me, figured I'd beat him to the punch.

So impressed with the dog. He is sleeping on the sofa, fireworks going off all around. I did cover him with "the" blanket, he is holding out. DD and I are doing a jigsaw puzzle, the epic kind that will go on all summer. So I am so in my happy place.

I use to open one and we would all work on it a little here and there.
How many pieces?

I'm horrible at puzzles. I always get really excited to do the puzzle. I get the border done, but then remember I suck at puzzles and the rest never gets done.
A 1500 piece puzzle that was a pain to put together.
I like getting the multi puzzle boxes.
It's 5 or more puzzles in one box.
Have ya'll ever tried a 3D puzzles.
I couldn't figure it out.

We got the base but when we started to go vertical, it was like a house of cards.
It wouldn't stay.

I look forward to it. I want to be good at puzzles. They look like so much fun. Which is why I own so many of them. I keep thinking, this will be the one I can get.

I had that one. I built the vertical parts in strips then pieced them together flat before making them into a globe.
Why didn't I think of that?

When we went to Bethany Beach 4 years ago we worked puzzles on the coffee table with my mother. We even went to a gift shop in town and bought more. So this year we're going, DH said, "let's bring puzzles!" We have a couple that my mom gave us that we haven't had time to try so we'll bring those. I think they are 1000 piece ones so I'm not sure we'll finish but it will be fun anyway.
The boys have a couple 3D puzzles (a baseball and a basketball) that DH put together. I can't figure those out.
When a certain couple has their first fight, please leave the rest of us out of it.

Well I can see you are annoyed. And sure we can all stop annoying conversations here simply by stating that it shouldn't happen. How about you and NJN stop the stupid chatter you have? Oh and no more complaining about the library and your co workers?

Wrong again.
I'm very happy for DG.
The difference IS that my co-workers don't post here.
Right now it's in the honeymoon phase. We've all been there.
But it's a free country after all, post whatever you want. Post about your ex. It's a frustrating situation.
IT IS INCREDIBLY INSULTING to go around posting: "I've got a secret," when we ALL know.

When that "certain couple" has a fight, they are free to post about it here, because you know what, these people are their friends. And you know what else? You are free to not read about it.
I don't know if I should be happy or sad for you that you haven't had something you were so nervously excited for, you didn't want to say it out loud for fear it would make it disappear. With my history (which you are fully aware of) relationships are hard for me. So I'm sorry my nervous quips have offended you. I am changing how I do things, but not because of you. Because I am learning that not all guys are a$$holes and I'm allowed to be happy and shout it from the rooftops. If you don't like that, tough taters.

Your frequent snide comments about the situation are downright rude. If you have nothing nice to say, just scroll on by.

1. That is an incredibly insulting thing to say, with MY history (which you are fully aware of). You HAVE said it out loud.
2. I told you that you deserve every happiness. I'm only saying "out loud" what certain others are thinking.
3. You've been around long enough to know what happens when a dating couple both have accounts here. Same difference.

Moma, that is great, in less than a month she can have your house shining and then come back to do touch up.
I decided to get going on a project that DD wants. I have an old Lane solid cedar trunk that DD wanted to refinish and put in her room. We've sanded most of it but I had to run to Lowes for more sand paper and we picked out stain and new hardware. The sanding will be done today, TG for electric sanders! but the staining and finishing will take most of the week since I have to let each coat dry and lightly sand before the next coat. She chose a black stain. I'm glad she went that way because matching up to her bed room set stain wouldn't would be a nightmare.
And before anyone mentions it, first thing I did was remove the lock. It has/had one of those locks that you cannot undo from the inside.
Isn't she 12?

No, 11 and I am not taking chances. Plus she is the one that kept talking about those locks.
