Apparently we own A Thing that, once I brave the swelter of our second floor and learn how to use it, will allow me to draw stick figures straight onto the internet.
At which point this may become a theme blog.
So I have been dutifully putting words up on my Clarion page. This thing is working out okay. I feel obligated to write (and not only that, but to write on the project I assigned to myself instead of anything else), but the timeframe is long enough that I don’t feel pressured.
If it continues to go well, I may have to try StickK.
We have also been painting our living room the nicest shade of dove grey. Sadly, our living room is enormous, and at one point the ceiling is 14 ft high. Fun times ahead.
Wicked Stepchild I went to Dallas last week and appears to have brought A Germ back with him. Summer colds are awful. And this AFTER I spent all last week miserable with 8 fire ant stings all on the same foot. Enough, I say!
Side note: a bucket of icy salt water is extremely helpful for fire ant stings.
Mr. Dingo Jones is having a week filled with the songs of angels. He has been a whirlwind brownie waffle factory. It seems that zero to brownie in under 5 minutes is a beautiful thing for people who love chocolate.
I’ve been joining in the celebrations by opening a vinho verde.
Under a month until I go to Vermont! Taking Wicked Stepchild II with me: should be great fun.
OMG. Brownie waffles?
Yum.
They make grand extenable poles for your rollers, so you can paint ceilings without a stepladder. Of course, paint is going to go EVERYWHERE.
E, apparently the Done Thing is to eat them topped with vanilla ice cream.
We do have long poles for the paint rollers. But it’s my job to tape and cut in the edges (because I don’t mind that, but I hate using a roller), so at some point I’m going to have to be on a very tall ladder. Also, I don’t want to have to buy a very tall ladder that we’ll almost never use. Maybe we can rent one.
