Hello, beautiful friend!
As usual, time is flying by. I feel like everything has gone off the rails, and I don’t know what I can or need to do to get everything back on track. Bet you know what that feels like.
Here’s a round-up of what is going on in the life of the crazy girl in Minneapolis….
Weeds have taken over the back yard, and I am worried that they will never leave, even if I pull them out.
The lawn hasn’t been mown in two weeks, and is now a strange combination of tall green weeds and brown dormant grass.
The garden is good – tomatoes and peppers and cucumbers are all doing well, the herbs are ridiculous. The bunnies have finally left the kale alone, so maybe I will be able to harvest that.
The laundry keeps piling up. I swear that I will start going naked just so I don’t have to wash any more clothes! And there are only two of us!!!!!! And it never seems to be fully put away. There are piles everywhere!
The dog-fur tumbleweeds and dust bunnies have taken over the living room and bedroom.
There is mail all over the dining room table – and most of it is not mine, but the majority of it is junk.
For some reason, the dishes in the kitchen have yet to figure out how to open the dishwasher and jump in. I have been trying to teach them this for 6 years. Boy, are they dumb! So they just keep piling up and making more little dirty dishes.
The bathroom is in desperate need of a good thorough cleaning. DESPERATE NEED.
All the floors need to be swept and mopped, and the rug in the living room has enough fur on it to make another dog.
The hedges need to be trimmed again – and again and again and again. Troublesome things.
The garage needs to be cleaned and straightened, but there is a motorcycle right in the middle blocking EVERYTHING, and has been for two years.
Both cars need to be washed and vacuumed out. Ick.
I still have not put away the suitcase from the last round of tradeshow travels. But it has only been 21days.
Oh, and it is HOT outside.
Does any of that sound familiar? I’ll bet it does.
Missing you and your lovely family. I need some friend time. And I have a present for your lovely daughter for her birthday. Here’s hoping that we can hook up soon, as you are WAY more important that anything that I have on my list! I hope you are having a wonderful day, and will have a wonderful weekend, too!
XOXOXO
Sonya
