Swallowed whole

No, I haven't fallen into a black hole. I have been swallowed alive by my house. We decided to replace the carpet in our bedroom and Drew's room (the last two carpeted rooms in our house) with cork flooring. So, the entire contents of those two rooms has been residing in our living room and family room and any other nook or cranny we could find. In fewer than 1500 sq. feet, we're a little short on nooks and crannies. Some of the furniture is out on the patio, our bed in the living room and general chaos abounds.

So, painting is done, floors are in, just some touching up and moving everything back in. Just. Ha!

I also painted a mural on Drew's wall of a kiwi bird (one of his Aspie obsessions) and a tree. It wasn't how he envisioned it (another lovely Asperger'ish issue) so he was very unhappy to begin with. He's warming up to the idea, but will never let go of the fact that I painted the kiwi the wrong color.

I'll try to post a picture of the floors and artwork. I do love me some cork.

The Law According to Murphy

Today we hoofed it around The Mall. Again. I am 1 part too excited about the weather to go underground to take the Metro and 2 parts too phobic to ride the Metro as the Grown Up In Charge. The last time I was in DC, I was a whopping 17 years old and being led around by the Close Up Foundation . The biggest responsibility I had was deciding what color I wanted them to make my hair at Commander Salamander . So, we walked. And, truly we're just a few block from the Capitol. However, if you've been to DC, you know that the Capitol and, say, the Washington Monument are a smidgen apart from one another...like a mile-long smidgen. And, if you know me then you know that I am the world's number one couch potato. In fact, there are many times I don't even go all the way to the couch as it's just too far from my oh-so-comfy bed. God bless Tempur - pedic . There's a point in here. I swear. I'll get to it eventually. First, I must also explain that we had plans to meet...

Unacceptable

The only solution to my blogging debacle, to date, is the revert back to a standard template, without any of the bells and whistles that make my blog MINE. What is the point of a blog that is not MINE? How ironic is it that the NaBloPoMo theme for this month is "voices"? Today's post brought to you by the discourteous folks at Google who cannot be bothered to help the multitudes experiencing this problem. Thanks. Really. From the bottom of my heart. You guys are the best. Smooches!
