June 30, 2009

Went up to Tahoe on Saturday and it was HOT. Grabbed the dog and went down to the lake. Came back home and we went out for Japanese food for dinner. Afterward just came home and went to bed early. I slept like a log.

Got up Sunday morning and painted our bedroom . . . H had gotten the paint and it was supposed to be cappucino but it was really more like a milk chocolate. It was one of those days with big blustery clouds so the light in the room was moving between dark and light and . . . I like the color but when the clouds were blocking the sun, it was kinda dark in there so . . . not sure if I'm going to keep it.

After I got the room painted, I painted the trim around the doors for all the rooms on the main hall -- 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. That took more time than painting the entire room. The odd thing is, H got semi-gloss for the walls and flat for the trim and . . . in my experience, it's usually the opposite, right? Flat on the walls and semi-gloss on the trim where people put their dirty paws?

There was some semi-gloss left-over from the front bathroom that was painted a couple of weeks ago so I used that to paint the doorway trim and . . . man, painting with semi-gloss SUCKS!!

After I got that done, I cleaned under the washer and dryer and realize that the flooring there needs to be replaced. Bah! That was it for me. By then it was about 3:30 and I felt really weird and I realized that I hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day. So, I made myself a PB& J and had a big glass of water.

H came home and we hung out for a bit and then I had to leave because I had an early morning meeting on Monday. I got about 3 miles away and he called me and told me to pull over. I did and he appeared behind me and gave me more hugs and kisses goodbye. It was a nice little surprise. He's such a good hugger and kisser . . . those big soft lips.

I got back in the car and took off. Got back to the bay area and Jack had left me a little present right outside the litter box. The jerk. Went outside onto the deck and it must have been a scorcher down here cuz my tomato plants looked fairly wilted and some of the leaves were downright crunchy. I hope there's no lasting damage.

I poked around in the foliage and my potted Roma (as opposed to the hanging Roma) has several wee little tomatoes on it. I'm so excited. I watered the heck out of them and they seem okay but, not quite up to their former glory.

On Monday, went to work. Busy as usual. The next couple of weeks are going to be nuts. Worked late and got home to find . . . another little present from Jack. So, I explained to him that if he did that one more time, I'm going to start crating him when I leave. Got home tonight and, no present. Yay!!

Today was another busy day. As I was leaving the office my bro called to see if I wanted to go to a movie (different bro from the other movie no-go the other day). He wanted to see "The Hangover" so I said why not. It was okay. There were some parts that were laugh out loud funny but they were fairly ordinary humor. Nothing super witty or innovative.

Now, I'm going to wash my face, brush my teeth and go to bed.
