Brief Hiatus

What usually happens to my blogging ventures has occured yet again--life gets busy, I get away from this for a few days, and suddenly it's been 3 weeks since a post! Not much has happened in these 3 weeks, but an update is still necessary. Primarily, the beginning of "wedding season" has begun for Hubby and myself. I refer to this as a "season" because for the past several years we have had what could only be described as the Iron Man of wedding attendance. This year alone we will have invitations to 10 weddings, and we will/have already been in 3 of these...needless to say, March to November has turned into a hectic time of year for us. We honestly don't mind it, most of these people are close friends of ours, it just leads to very busy weekends.

I digress. Work on the house has been slow. Very, very, very slow. If nothing else, I have learned that patience is a necessity when it comes to doing work on your home. The last few weeks have been devoted to "finish" work, or all the little stuff that no one really wants to do, but is completely necessary for your home to look presentable.

This leads to our very interesting Tuesday night. Hubby had exhausted his supply of crown molding trim, so we decided to trek over to trusty Lowes and pick up a contractor pack, not thinking that my trusty SUV--DT (Darnell Tyrone) as we refer to it--might not be able to handle the size of the load. Off our happy selves went, purchased three contractor packs of molding, each "pack" holding eight 12 foot pieces of molding, only to get out to my car and realize that it is not 12 feet long. So we did what every good redneck does--improvise. We opened the hatch and drove the whole 30 miles home with an extra 4 feet of molding hanging out of the back of my car.

Talk about country come to town!
