If you’ve been following my blog, you will know that my life has been an alternating pattern of writing and painting. I write for a while, then I paint some more of the interior of our new house. Well, we’ve been here six months now and the kitchen and bathroom are still not finished. We decided to light a fire under our butts and have a party, thus encouraging us to finish painting because we would have a deadline. It sounded like an excellent idea about a month ago. Now that the party is two days away, and I just managed to finish my revision last Monday, and do the taxes for two countries yesterday, I am thinking, “Huh…maybe we can just dim the lights and no one will notice that the backsplash in the kitchen is formica from the seventies and the rest of the kitchen is modern black and grey.” Yeah, don’t think that’s going to work…so off to paint I go! What are your big plans this week? Anybody writing? Wanna swap?

Your guests are coming for your company, not your perfectly (or not) painted house. So don’t sweat it. Although, I’d help you paint if I could to thank you for all the free advice. Enjoy your party. I think I’ll take a stab at re-writing my query letter – maybe even give my characters an age reversal from my keyboard fountain of youth;) Have a great weekend!
I’m sitting here in my paint clothes (yes, clothes–and you were totally right about primer not coming off!) Now my sons are reminding me that their rooms need to be updated too. (After nine years, yeah, I guess so.) So I guess I’ll be doing this for a while too.
