Please excuse Katie’s absence…

Man, I hate that every blog is an apology for not blogging! This past week, I was out of town. The husb and I, having lived in California for more than a decade, decided we should get a look at our state, and finally drove up the coast, past Big Sur and all of those amazing places. The views are amazing. The weather is dramatically different from LA. A good time was had by all.

(Plus it allowed us to escape the homestead while it was being fumigated for termites.)

Now we’re home, and Winston is being a superpill. Not only that, but he’s horrifically itchy. I think the groomer might have cut it a little too close in some spots. All I know is, I’m about to hose him down with anti-itch spray.

We bagged everything up in the traditional termite-gas way, and I can’t bring myself to unbag it all. Seems like a heap of work. So I’m just cutting the bags open and taking out what I need. Maybe this is just how we should be living. Keep all your stuff in a clear bag. Then, when you leave home, put a fumigation notice on your door, and there’s no need for an alarm!

Golly, I shouldn’t just give these ideas away.

Well, happy Tuesday anyway, and please join me over yonder at the Debutante Ball, where we’re debunking writing myths.

Speaking of the Debutante Ball, only about 5 more weeks until the new class takes over… how crazy is that? Time sure flies.

Off to print out some fumigation warnings. Wonder how long it’d take to sew a tent for the house.

    Gosh, it is only 5 1/2 weeks until the Debs of 2009 dance their final waltz. NO WAY has it been one entire year…frightening!

  2. Larramie, tell me about it! Time sure flies. Can’t wait for you to meet the new Debs!
