Okay, thanks Deena, sj and Deb (regardless). I've just sent it your collective ways as a .doc file so let me know if you need it in some other incarnation. Deb, I sent it to you too, on the off chance that you'll have a moment. I look forward to your comments/corrections/requests for various baked goods.
Ohhh! And Deb, before I forget, those haiku you so graciously edited for me (eons ago now) have been recently accepted for publication!
Woot! Go Brynn, with the haiku!
Received. Will do my utmost.
Received, Brynn. I will look at it tommorrow and get back to you.
Brynn, insent. Done. Notes in the body of the email.
Back to painting of kitchen...
Deb, how many coats are you putting on your kitchen? Or are you just painting it a different color each day? ;) Btw - brief little note to you -- insent.
Kristin, two coats, but it's having to be done in sections, and remember, it's a three-room kitchen; we're talking nearly 1200 feet of wall and ceiling space. There are so many curves and cornices and demented little angles to go over; Nic spent half an hour handpainting what he calls the rosette and I call the medallion above the ceiling fan. That kind of thing. A very warm, happy cream, but this is exhausting, and I want my house back. The dining room is loaded with stuff from the kitchen.
And I really want to get some writing done, and it's going to be days before I do.
Skipping to the end - deb, I'm trying to send from a different address. Really sorry for all that bother.
Nilly, sweetie, I'm just sorry it's so frustrating for you.
I'm probably signing off momentarily. It's been a very long five days and I'm bone-tired.
edit: WOOT! Nilly, it's here!
It's worse when I can't get in touch with, say, my PhD advisor (currently abroad) for filling documents for submitting my research proposal.
Hope you have a restful night.
[Edit: finally! Third time's the charm]
Oh Deb, you are making me want to do anything but tackle the painting of my bedroom, which has no curves, but has many many weird angles. Plus, DH wants to paint the ceiling too.
Night all.
