I’m a blocker, yeah, I know it. I can’t really say why. It’s not like nothing is going on around here. I do stuff, really! But I haven’t felt moved to write about it recently.<\/p>\n
Maybe I am saving up the goodness for NaBloPoMo<\/a>. Yes, I am crazy enough to do it again this year. Woo hoo! Just smell the crazy in the air!<\/p>\n This weekend my mom came to visit, so Jonathan and I went out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants<\/a>, which was lovely. I got a bunch of organizing done around the house: taking pictures for the virtual stoop sale I’m setting up this week, cleaning some stuff out of the closets, giving my mom a huge box of Gus’s old shoes to take for my nephew.<\/p>\n Now I’m getting all crafty and painting an old frame to finally get the personalized funky chicken Marlys<\/a> that Jonathan got for me years ago into a frame and onto the wall. The frame was ugly brown faux-wood — I’m painting it purple with green polka dots. If I planned ahead more I’d have realized that the poster paint of Gus’s that I’m “borrowing” for this project is too thin to cover the dark brown of the frame in one coat, and I’d be finished by now rather than waiting for purple coat #2 to dry before adding the third and final coat. But then I couldn’t be writing this all down for your edification now, could I? No, I could not, because I’d be relaxing on the couch with a beer and some Steven Millhauser<\/a>. So rock on with my ill-prepared craft project-ness! And let’s hope Gus doesn’t freak out when he realizes that I’ve used up all of his purple paint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m a blocker, yeah, I know it.
