Oh, and one VERY cool thing is also going to happen this weekend. You remember how we had our house madeover on TV? The reason I got interested inth e show was seeing them stain a concrete patio on an early episode and being amazed with how wonderful it looked. I actually said to Jason "Wouldn't it be great if we could get that woman to do OUR yard?"
I finally decided I felt ready to stain our (mostly concrete) backyard and contacted Carmen to ask what products to use. She said, "You do the prep and buy lunch I'll come over and do the staining. I like doing it and it will be great to see you guys." This is LITERALLY a dream come true for me.
Happy birthday, tommyrot!
I need to stop watching earthquake/tsunami coverage and get some stuff done.
In shallow news - I just realized all my ink is on display at the office today. And we have a quarterly lunch meeting which is highly attended by the big mucky mucks. Nice job, Suz...
It's friday! What are people doing this weekend, other than reading/avoiding earthquake and tsunami news?
I'm going up to Maine for a surprise dinner for my brother in honor of his 60th birthday.
Wow, Scrappy--that's is so cool! You really lucked out with that experience, and I loved watching the ep when it was broadcast. You looked great (as did your hubby!), and the place looked fantastic.
Oh, and I just got the okay to take the full two weeks off of work, even though my boss was a bit iffy about the second week, so that's a relief. I was originally thinking about flying out on Friday afternoon, but instead, I'm going to go out Saturday morning, and then fly back on the second Wednesday, giving me a four-day weekend at home to relax before heading back to work.
Scrappy, are you sure that Carmen isn't Mary Sue? I mean, she has a great singing voice and everything!
Thanks for the b-day wishes, everyone.
Now is the first time I've been online since 7:00. I didn't see the news of the earthquake then, so I'm only hearing about it now.
Am going through b.org withdrawal. Also hate that I didn't find out about the quake until now.
OK, off to lunch.
