I am of two minds as to what to do today. Yesterday I had planned to take today to start taking apart the living room, moving furniture and all that so that we can rip up the carpeting and finish that big flooring project.

However, last night D called and asked Geoff for help tomorrow, and I suspect that help will take a good chunk of the day, and probably most of his energy. Preparing the living room for the new floor really is a two day job. Two full days.

So.

Clear out the living room anyway, even though it will undoubtedly upset Babe something fierce, make me antsy for faster progress than is possible, or just be a slug.

And it's sluggy for the win!

I'm still holding out hope that we'll get the crown moulding up this weekend so that I can paint it before we leave for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. And, instead of doing the floor, I'll just have to tile the backplash. That is a full day's job that can be done on Sunday. And gosh, it'll be nice to get that finishing touch in. Not that it'll be finished. The grouting will have to wait until we get back from Thanksgiving. But once the grouting is done, I can finally take pictures and show you all what my new kitchen looks like! Whee!

And I guess that I can't really be a slug today. I should do some of the little things that need doing, like reinstalling that leg of door frame, installing the glass shelves in the display cabinet, start shimming the pantry shelves...

Ah well. It was a nice try, sluggy. Maybe next time.

Slugginess is good. Grant yourself a little slugginess today.

I'd highly recommend painting the crown molding *before* putting it up though, and then just touching up a little after installation. It's much, much easier.

I've been pretty sluggish the last week or so, so I really need to get moving again. Especially if I want the kitchen to be done before Christmas.

Unfortunately, I just don't have the room to spread out the moulding before it's cut. But thanks for the tip!

Another vote for slugging. There's no point in ripping things up if they can't be swiftly reassembled.

I'm hanging out with Brother today.

I hope Babe is behaving better.

BTW - how did your show go?

I cut my thumb yesterday. Not badly, but it hurts. I suppose if I need an excuse to lay low, that could be it, right?

That sounds like a good Friday thing to do. I hope you two enjoy it.

Yes and no. He can be so sweet, and then the fearsome four in him headbutts me. Literally. That our screams at me. Training the little monsters into people is hard, discouraging work.

It's been well received. I've actually sold one of the prints, which is cool. People seem really impressed with my photo manipulation skillz, which I find pretty funny, seeing as I'm a rank amateur and I feel it's something that anyone can do. It's like cheating at art. *shrug* But I'm glad they like it.

You should not underestimate your vision, your knowledge of form, or your sense of color. It doesn't require the same technical skill as painting, perhaps, but it does require the ability to see the images.

Doesn't sound much like slugness to me....

Only if I actually do it, though. ;-j
