~ No 12-hour days, especially two in a row, dumb ass! Really, I can't believe that I think I can still push myself like that. That's the problem with aging. The person inside us is always the age we were at our prime, and the body gets the sour end of the deal.
~ Nettl has been selling the kids' outgrown furniture like a fiend on Craigslist. Hey, cash in hand + fewer things to move = smart lady!
~ Today, I'm going to the cottage to finish the dining room windows (they've been primered, but not painted) and Joel's bedroom door (it's been primered and painted, but it needs a second coat). Nothing else though. I'm not that okay yet.
~ You know what I don't get? How so many people think alot and readmore are legitimate compound words. I see others like this on the web, but I can't remember them right now. And why is bedroom okay, but not diningroom or livingroom? Here on my Blogger post page, the last two have the spellcheck's little red dotted line beneath them, but the first one doesn't. Makes no sense to me.
Sorry if this appears kind of like a bulleted list. It's my bed time (bedtime) and I wanted to get a post up.
That sounded nasty.
It's Wednesday? Really? Wow, I thought it was Thursday. Usually, I miss a day, not add one.

Good morning! :-)
May I just say that it seems to me that you have already done a whole lot (awholelotta) of work around your new home! I still remember how kaputt I felt when we last moved. I am not keen on ever doing it again!
I hope you manage to give yourself enough breaks during the gruelling days ahead. As long as you move out of the old home and leave it broom clean (isn't that the magic work? Swept with a broom, but not scrubbed, no getting down on your knees), all you really need in the new one is a place to sleep while you settle in, paint, and so on.
All my best wishes,
Merisi
And don't forget to leave your old broom behind. It's not good to take all the old dirt with you. I will get you a new broom.
With the words, maybe it's a difference between the things one does in a room and the furnishings of a room. A living room is where living takes place. A dining room is where dining takes place. A bedroom is where a bed is. If, instead of living room, the term had evolved to mention the furniture, we may have been talking about the "sofaroom". Just a thought. :-)
One that I run into is where there's a noun that's a compound word, but the corresponding verb is two words. One that comes to mind is "runaway" (the noun) and "to run away" (the verb).
Still have a couple of items left on Craigslist that we REALLY need to get rid of because I DON'T want to move them. And we DON'T have room for them in the garage at the new house. After we get moved, I'm having a kick-ass yard sale. We've got lots of cool stuff that filled all the nooks and crannies in our nearly 3000 square foot home. We are moving down by nearly 1500 square feet and we've got to loose some pounds in order to fit into our new size! :)
Merisi: I haven't really done much but complain, I'm ashamed to say.
Ville: Never heard that one. Right now, I'm so frustrated with life that I'll try anything!
Deni: I'm impressed! You always know these things. So this means, "bathroom" can be spelled either way?
Nettl: Please don't sell me, just put me out in the dog house in the back yard!
Damn! I was counting on getting at least 5 bucks for you! ;)
(Yeah, right!)
So this means, "bathroom" can be spelled either way?
Well, a bathroom isn't really a place for "bath." You could say "bathing room."
Of course, this isn't necessarily the way it is. Just the way it would be if language followed logic. Which it doesn't. :-)
BTW, Nettl, I'll bid $5.50. ;-)
$5.75 and a bag of bubs.
What are you selling??
Heather's desk (the big on that Nettl used) and her bed. That's all that's left now.
$5.75 and a bag of bubs.
