excusions (excuses, excursions, exclusions)

Well here goes.  September is nearly over and with exception to some small cleaning, shuffling, and the half demolition of a wall, we have done virtually nothing on the house since my last post.  Why?  Apparently my social life decided to explode, and Red Dead Redemption (Affectionately referred to as Grand Theft Horse) came out for the PS3, instantly rendering both Brian and I almost entirely useless.

If you have ever wondered what your room might look like with no plaster, it somewhat resembles an asylum. It does not stop here, though, no no. No matter how many passes you make with the shop vac, the entire rest of your home will be coated in a fine veneer of white powder for weeks after, making it amazingly obvious when your cats get up to some naughtiness because their pawprints will be the only clean spots on a given surface (like the lid of the turtle tank, or kitchen counters).

I would love to have my craft room by halloween.  All we need to do is tear down the lath, perhaps have an electrician out to run some new wiring since we already have the walls open, and have Daddo out for a drywall hanging party.  Doable? Perhaps.  Likely? Doubtful. But I can hope, and stranger things have happened.

You see what happened was

I have been neglectful. I will attempt to remedy that in the coming week. Dear blog, will you ever forgive me for living well?
