You Know What They Say About Cold Feet

Well, I guess I'll be working a little while longer tonight. As many times as I started this one project for my bestie on the HR management staff, I didn't ever really accomplish anything on it... and I MUST uphold my rep with her. She seems to think I walk on water (which makes me break into song... Simon Peter, won't you put those nets down; Follow me, I'll lead you out of this town; To a place where no boat has ever been; I will make you a fisher of men...). Who am I to tell her I sink like a stone?! And since Jon is still up working (and will probably continue to be for a while), I figure it's status quo. Jon's working on revising the dissertation. Hopefully, a final draft. Which means the little bitty piece of paper that means everything could be just around the corner. And as for my work, well, it's not nearly that meaningful. No little bitty piece of paper for me. But a gold star, I'm sure, when I send this report off to Miss Gail.

Meanwhile, Mom & Dad are snoozing away in the other wing. I love, love, love, love, love having those who make my favoriteist-people list visit. My dad has been sooooo helpful today. He completely fixed the screen door (the project that I had started and scared myself away from, my dad finished in no time at all... with better quality results than the professional we hired to re-screen the rest of the porch!) and is halfway through the major repairs on the bathroom wall & molding. Okay, okay... since it's almost repaired... and since Dad already knows about it (I partially didn't want to share the pics until he had heard about it... he tends to give me a hard time about damaging rather valuable items -- like a house), here's the much-talked-about carnage, proving once again (will we ever learn this lesson?) that energetic, hellion-ish puppies and new houses do not mix:


Pretty, huh? So, K... believe me now? I told you they ATE the bathroom wall! (By the way, it was very fun to catch up with you again today, girlie.)

Well, anyway... I'm off to catch up on a little bit of work. It's hitting me a little that the busy season for me is coming up very quickly. And I'm really not prepared. I need to get several more projects cleared off my to-do list before these next few big ones start up. Hmm... maybe I should stop writing so much on my blog. ;) Nah... these few activities I have that bring me joy and make me smile simply cannot be cut.

[As for the title... it only warmed up to 60 degrees here today... and my feet (especially here at bedtime) are f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g!]
