It’s a Good Day!

There are a few things in life that just make you smile first thing in the morning- coffee already being made, the house not being exponentially worse than it was when you went to bed, money on the dresser (from your husband, of course!). This morning I discovered another happy-maker to add to that list: Blog comments from people you don’t know! And not lame ones or rude ones or ones where the author clearly has no idea what’s going on, but nice ones! Good ones! I am very excited about this. Welcome, and tell your friends! : D

Today I will be shirking my domestic responsibilities somewhat in the name of art and female bonding. A nurse friend of Dustin’s from work and I are going to go to our local  Corks & Canvas to get all painty with our bad selves. But, alas, having chosen the almost-half-price daytime version of the class, there will be no corks. Living so near New Orleans, and indeed feeling very New Orleanian most of the time, I was going to bring something anyway. I mean, 11 here is noon in Michigan, so why not? But her teenage daughter will be getting out of school to come-with, so I guess that would be “irresponsible” or some other needlessly long word. Do kids ever stop cramping your style?

Before you go out, how about you clean up all those hopes and dreams over there.

Nevertheless, this should be loads of fun. We’re going to grab an early lunch first (OMG- I just realized, that might qualify as brunch! Yes! I will be calling this brunch. Sweet!), do some guided painting, then I’ll come home and:

• Do laundry
• Pick up the kitchen
• Unload the dishwasher
• Reload the dishwasher
• Feed Francois
• Pick up the master bath
• Clean the tub
• Clean the sink
• Clean the toilet
• Empty the trash
• Proclaim that chores interfere with my artistic spirit and collapse into my chair with a glass of wine

Sounds like a good day to me!
