Good Morning,

What a beautiful picture to start the day! After humidity,thunderstorms and torrential downpours throughout the day the humidity seems to have lowered, sunshine and blue skies. Hope it stays around!

Last night turned into a fiasco curtain rod hanging session. I really thought DH was going to break something in his frustration. Curtain rods are very tricky to buy and hang in this small bedroom since the 2 windows are on either side of a corner. Of course the rods I chose had to big of a finnial to fit properly. But DH in his effort to try to make anything work decided to mount the bracket in a little different way. Unfortunately there is something behind the plaster wall that his drill just wouldn't penetrate. What a mess, what a string of "language" that went with it. Then the blind came crashing down along with the bracket. In the end the rods, curtains and blinds are up. Just don't look behind the one curtain-it ain't pretty!

I did get all my curtains, comforter, above mentioned curtain rods purchased yesterday, along with a trip to Costco and to Bed, Bath & Beyond to get DD her shower gift. I now know why I go to Costco first thing on a Saturday morning! What a zoo! I also took myself to Mary the Corsetier. My sister swears by this place to fit you and find the right bra for you. She has a shoulder problem that makes finding a comfortable bra but Mary the Corsetier solved that for her. They also make alterations on the bras so that they fit just right. They also had the perfect solution for DD's wedding gown. In the end I paid much more that I normally would have for them but really comfortable. She also gave me a tip about washing your bras-never in the washing machine! She washes them right in the shower with a little hand soap and hangs it to dry. She's been doing it for years and says you get 2x the life out of your bras. I'm going to try that! She claims to be the queen of multitasking! Not much accomplished by the time I got home. I got home and had a massive headache and my stomach was bothering me so I decided to just sit in the recliner and watch HGTV. It really was nice to just sit and do nothing. Haven't had much opportunity for that this week.

Today is massive cleanup activity around here. Not sure how I can possibly get it all done but I'm going to focus on the living room, dining room, kitchen and the bathrooms which are just downright nasty! Still have to attach Mt.Laundry as well since I haven't touched the washer/dryer most of the week.

DD will be stopping by at some time today. The BF has been away on a business trip this week and he was supposed to be coming back today but instead decided to stay an extra day to see a bit of San Diego and will be taking a red eye back to NY. DD is not happy since the wedding food tasting is tomorrow and he won't be getting in until sometime very early tomorrow morning. She decided that she'll spend the night here and then pick him up in the morning and we'll all go out together tomorrow morning.

That's about it from here at construction central. Hope to have it look less like a construction site by this evening.

Hope everyone has a super Saturday!

Don't know how much I will be enjoying today because I feel pretty cr*ppy. I went to the prayer blanket/shawl ministry meeting today to bring the blanket I made for the veteran hospital. We have a graduation party to go to at 3 pm and I am really not up for it. UGH!

Sounds like way too much work going on in your house Susan. I get tired just reading about it. It is going to look great when it is all done.

Off to hit the couch. Hopefully I can feel better to go to the party and enjoy some fresh, sunshiny weather.

bye for now...
Grace

Keep on keeping on!

Happy Saturday Afternoon!


Patty, I would love to be at wherever that picture is, I can almost feel a cool breeze coming down off the mountains.
