My 17-year-old niece is headed off to New York for the semester and started up her new blog: http://jennahutchie.blogspot.com . Her immediate enthusiasm to blog about her upcoming adventure made me want to crank out a new post. First and foremost to tell you to follow her on her fun adventure!! Pray for her, too...I want her covered in prayer before she even steps off of the plane.
Oh, and my 15-year-old nephew just left for boarding school for the first time EVER. Could you pray for him, too? He needs the prayers just as much...for a fresh start and a successful year.
And lastly, could you pray that I can get off my behind and get something done around here? I came up to my office to CLEAN it and to begin the project of re-upholstering these awesome chairs I bought. But, instead of coming up to do my WORK I got distracted by that 'ding!' of new emails arriving. (side note: I have no experience in this particular type of upholsteration--is that a word?--and probably should not attempt it, but have already purchased some fabric anyhow because LACK OF SKILL HAS NEVER STOPPED ME BEFORE.)
I love writing about my kids and certainly want to journal some more about them...they are why I started this blog and why I want to carry it on. HOWEVER. I have had the itch lately to write about my crazy house projects. Lately I have: installed a glass shower door, put in a new kitchen faucet, made and installed garage cabinets, re-wired a chandelier, turned a farm sink into a party cooler/table, and trimmed the hair around my dog's butt. The latter of which I won't be writing about here, lucky for you. But let me tell you that if you're THINKING of trimming your dog's butt hair, you might want to send me an email to ask for some pro advice and then invest in a pair of latex gloves and some very very small, sharp scissors. Here's your first tip, and this one's a freebie: dog's don't like it when you head towards their anus with a pair of large, dull kitchen drawer scissors.
More later.

i adore you. and that is all i have to say about that.
If I was ever on the fence about owning a bulldog, I have now fainted, fallen off that fence and broken my arm. Not happening! Butt hair is something I try to never think about, so to know trimming it BY HAND happens is just too much. I'm sending Josh over to your pad for the next trimming appointment so he can get his wits about him. But beyond that, you're amazing and a woman of many talents. As your incredibly smart friend Serena said...I adore you!
