Thursday already?

Puppy Divas Jax and Raven




Wow! It appears that my stay is coming to an end. I can't believe I've been here 6 days. Tomorrow is my last day here. Honey will be driving back to get me since I refuse to fly (I only do it if I absolutely have to.) I will be leaving in the wee hours to go back to Arizona Saturday morning.I wanted him to pick me up Sunday,but FBR and the Super Bowl messed up those plans. I can't believe that I've lasted this long in the house without going crazy. This whole time it's pretty much been me and Jaxie bear kickin it together. My commadre came over and brought me lunch and she also brought her baby Rottwiler, Raven. We were hoping Raven and Jax would hit it off and thankfully they did. It was a peaceful play date. No puppy diva drama in this yard. So as the pups played and the workers worked, her and I sat in the recliners reclining away and watched the DIY programs,and dreamt aloud about our wishes for endless amounts of cash to do our own room re-do's. I told her that this month marked 7 years that we have lived in our house(and 9 years in Arizona) and except for the piles of clothes and crap piled here and there our room looks like it did when we moved in.BORING! I've done all kinds of art,but yet have done nothing with what should be my sanctuary. My bathroom is the same way. I have a huge garden tub that occssionally beackons,but lacks enough to lure me in. Both rooms have great potential since they are blank slates. The only thing hanging on any of the walls is a wood sign that says DREAM and has a quote from Jiminy Cricket. Even the furniture is boring. I have the dresser that my dad had as a baby,my youngest Man Cub's dresser that I refinished before he was born and a 3rd antique dresser that I refinished for Honey. I use a small table for a nightstand and Honey uses a series of boxes for his nightstand.So of course nothing matches. Very Bohemian chic don't you think? I've made a mental list of the things I'd like to do with the room. I think for Valentines I'll post a note on the fridge titled :WHAT I WANT FOR VD. Thats what we call the love holiday at my house,VD. sounds real romantic doesn't it? I will say in the note that I will gladly go away for a few days in order for Honey and the Cubs to do a room make over. All I will have to do is make a dramatic entrance, shed a tear and swoon in delight over my newly created oasis. Yea right! Like that will ever happen. Being the only female in the house does not always have it's perks. Princess Lola is my only ally and since she doesn't say much,other than the occassional squeak,she isn't much help in the cause. I can sometimes bribe my way with promises of a killer dinner,but I think it's going to take a far bigger bribe for them to re do my room to MY liking.
