Ahhhh...Mondays.....
Had a good weekend...stayed in and watched the debate Friday night. I wanted more questions on national security.
Saturday had lunch with my rippin' and runnin' buddy and her niece. Her niece lives with her and is a senior in HS. We are going on a college visit trip Oct 19 for a week. Heading to Charleston for 3 nights, then Savannah staying on Tybee Island for 2 nights and then back up to Brevard, NC for 2 nights on the way home. She's looking at art schools, and since she grew up in Maine....these will be all new places for her to see. Another friend of ours might fly to Savannah and meet us for the rest of the week. We're hoping to get into the Lady and Sons for dinner.
We had an afternoon of manicures and pedicures and some retail therapy before meeting my SO and her husband for dinner. Was a good day.
We went back to Sam's on the other side of town yesterday looking for a specific patterned oriental rug for her living room. Found it. Two women ....in their 50's ...trying to get a 9x11 rug out of this holder. It was one of those things that should have been on Candid Camera or America's Funniest Videos.
We couldn't figure how to get it out because it was crammed in there. So I stood on the cardboard front and broke it, then we tried pulling it out under this little bar that was holding it in place. 15 minutes later, after pushing and pulling, and trying not to wreck new fingernails....she looks on the bar .....and sees the fine print at the edge....."lift here to remove"...
It wouldn't go all the way
up and we're trying to figure out why...it said "lift"....then we realized the arrow pointed downward. She pushed it down...and the rug fell out on my head.
We got it on the cart....looked around....and were really happy that no one was around to see us looking like "Dummies".
Working on a interior report on a $500,000 house today. Frustrated on it.... beautiful home....with standing water underneath.
Getting a foreclosure listed, and doing some work for the other half.....he types with two fingers and takes forever...so being the sweet person I am (
)...I'm doing it for him.
Fall must be coming ....three of the deer girls and their new babies (born during the summer) were out frolicking in the front and back yard this morning. The fawns were fascinated by the cats....Bailey was in one window and Jaz was in another and one fawn came almost right up to the window to see Bailey. The fawn didn't know what Bailey was....but Bailey and Jaz's tails were flipping all over the place. The deer girls don't usually come up to the windows...but the fawns were very curious. Two females, we think, and one male because he's so much bigger.....and he's verrrrrry curious. There's another momma in the neighborhood and she has twins...but they haven't been around the house yet. Time to start buying apples and deer food for them. We have a creek in the back, so we are on their regular "path".
