The Journal of Joyful Grace

7:45ish: Awaken.

7:50ish: Decide to work on sanding and (at this point) staining picnic table my parents gave us.

8:00: Outside in the backyard, clipping Fuzz to her chain while hubby powers up the power sander.

9:30ish: Come back inside for breakfast of waffles, the two bench seats of the picnic table sanded and ready to stain.

9:50ish: Back outside, staining the bench seats as hubby starts on table part of picnic table.

9:51ish: Manage to stain my legs. :-L

10:30ish: Sitting on picnic table to keep it from moving on disgruntled hubby, only one of five boards sanded down to the original red paint.

10:45ish: Decide to give up on sanding down to the wood and staining. Instead sand table boards til smoother and make run over to parents to return power sander and to obtain hunter green outside paint they offered to us before.

11:00: We check air in my tires while at parents, discovering front left tire is very low. Use daddy's handy air pressure machine thinger to fill it up to where it's supposed to be.

11:15: Back home, I apply second coat of stain while hubby gets started on painting the table portion.

11:25: I finish the staining and start helping out with the painting.

11:30: Hubby begins to complain of back hurting, so I tell him to take a break.

11:35: Hubby has wandered off to "check the oil in my Cherokee".

11:40-12:00: Still painting by myself, finish table portion.

12:05: Hubby still fiddling with the Cherokee and his truck, so I decide to start in on weeding.

12:30ish: Finally make it around to the front of the house to find hubby sitting on the porch, flipping through our entertainment book.

12:40: As I physically sway in front of him (was starting to feel a bit dizzy by that point), hubby catches my glare, looks up from entertainment book and asks "What do you want me to do?". I chuck handful of weeds at him.

1:00: Finish weeding. Fill up the bucket 10 times, water the plants.

1:20: Hubby has taken refuge in the house when I finally slump down into one of the porch chairs. Back feels funky, tummy is rumbling.

1:30: FINALLY shower. Scrub like hell to get stain spots (which now look like birth marks) off my legs.

1:50: Towel off, find quite a few stain spots I missed. :-L

1:50 - 2:20: Comatose on the bed until hubby finishes his shower.

2:25: Make and eat lunch.

2:40 -3:00: Comatose on the couch, E! on in the backgroud.

3:00: Drag self off into bed, sleep for approximately 17 minutes before hubby's clacking on the keyboard rudely awakens me.

3:18: Yell at hubby, take over the computer for own personal use.

3:19 - present: t00b about online, chatting with shoemaster, and redoing my user pics. Again. And they'll probably be redone again next week, after Ally's little animation tutorial she's threatened to give me. Rar, I need more than 50 spaces. *sigh*

Eeeeeeeeeeeee, you'll be with me at this point tomorrow Ally!!!
