I hope to get to some stitching this afternoon. Got about an hour
in yesterday. Today so far has been water the flowers ( haven't had
a decent rain since the deluge), clean the bathrooms and get caught
up on the laundry. Oh, and during lunch I read a couple chapters of
"The Forgotten Garden." It's hard to put down.

Weren't you productive! What a good girl. I, instead, have spent hours
taking care of this paperwork - which hopefully will actually be acceptable
to the mortgage company, and we'll get our stuff approved for the mod this
week. One can hope. The alternative isn't good! But, I did 3 loads of
laundry - about to now put the summer blanket (cotton lightweight quilt)
into the dryer, and another load of clothes into the dryer. Did unload the
DW, and reload it - though I haven't re-emptied it now post dinner to
reload. And I just may be bad and not.
I should go out and set the sprinklers to water in front and back - another
question. Hmmm.

This sounds good. DH is on the ice reffin' men's league right now - at the
rink just a few minutes from the house. One of the teams is the VA state
ref sup - who is always happy when DH is there. There are a couple of guys
who seem to have their own special gig going reffing those games, and the
teams are sick of them for many reasons. So, DH is happy to be greeted
happily when in stripes. Then he comes home, and we can have some dessert.
I've noticed with doing WW, we're eating an amazing amount of veggies -
which is good, but, yikes. Tonight - it was the all orange/gold night -
being (along with grilled lamb chops from the local farm) golden beets,
patty-pan squash, and sweet potato fries (baked). It was funny as I looked
at the table when we sat down to serve it all. Oh, and to start -
canteloupe. I must've had orange on my mind.
Now, I should go stitch, but don't really feel it. However, tomorrow
afternoon, and Tuesday (not working) will be a marathon to get 2 pieces to
the framer by Friday.
Also - I'm sitting here working on finding a hotel to take us and the pooch
in NJ for the aunt's B-day party. DH did not call the less evil of the
SILs, though I think he will tomorrow. His idea, I should call the lovely
inn and ask them to give us a room far away from the crazy SILs. Huh. Ah,
well, the sagas continue.
