Well. I can't imagine what I was thinking when I decided to have my dining and living rooms painted the MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING WHEN I AM GOING TO HAVE 30 PEOPLE FOR LUNCH!
I know that my parents thought I was smart at some point in my life. This is wild. Every nook and cranny has dust, paint or dirt in it. Everything is OUT Of the china cabinet and off the shelves. Everything in the living room is now housed in the foyer and only a small path is available for walking.
All the trim is painted and there is nothing in its correct place.
Okay , the artsy-fartsy person that I am went shopping for a little while tonight and low and behold when I got home, I looked at all this mess and decided to....................NOPE , not get everything in order or ready to get in order..................NOPE , Not me.........I got out all my craft junk and proceeded to make a Thanksgiving wreath. Yep, sitting in the middle of chaos doing whatever it is I WANT to do is what I love!!!!!!
What a creation! It is now on my door.
I waded through the furniture, angels, chairs and what-nots and finally reached the front door. I opened it and tore down the previous precious tacky wreath and replaced it with the newer more tacky version of the Thanksgiving from Hell wreath. As I tucked and stapled whatever was hanging and not looking quite right, I stepped back and ...........yuk........a flying critter zoomed over my head.
I had no idea when we moved to this neighborhood that previous prehistoric insects still made their homes here. No one told me that roaches from those times actually flew. Okay, now something else to deal with besides the regular kind. I shall call Tom and complain about not being told about these monstrosities. Harummph.
SERIOUSLY
I know that when Thursday comes that I will have everything back in its "general" home and most of the knick-knacks will be out or hidden in various closets around this huge house.
I truly can't wait to hear all the new gossip, hear how much weight I have seemed to gain, and watch my wonderful , crazy, fun, wild, nerve-wracking family have a great Thanksgiving with everyone present and accounted for!
Let's eat!
