I think lots of people attend these things, thinking they'll write a novel. But then, they begin to get into it & realize just how much work it is - and delay or even freeze.

Lots of folks, including myself, didn't have the mental bandwidth to begin until their kids were older.

@WordsmithFL

Absolutely. 🤣

@LnzyHou

Me, too!

@Museek

I love that. If my dream comes true - that I get to design & build a house - I am so doing this.

@QueenOfEverything

🤣 Damn. Didn't do that.

Parents came home last night!

Kids are adorable, but typically crazy.

@danielbsmith

Agree. But their parents insist on taking their water bottles to bed with them . . .

Not my kids, so . . .

Cat litter. Oy.

Day 4 of grands-sitting -

2 yr-old peed through his nighttime PullUps
for the last 3 nights.

4-yr-old has entered the little girl shrieking phase - shrieking with excitement, surprise, whatever's happening.

Dog is old, apparently has a prostate issue now. Lots of pee accidents. Tries to eat cst litter.

Cat is cool, very relaxed. Here she is in the dog's cage.

Parents return tonight, hopefully before bedtime.

Sigh.

@FrankCannon
🤣

Happy Dogday Friday!

I'm babysitting the grands from now till Monday evening.

So, I'll be gone-ish. Will lurk when I can.

@CJLavoie

Well, that sucks. I'll send them a stern thumbs down. 😜 Like they'll pay any attention, but I'll do it.

@CJLavoie

My WaPo subscription allows me to gift the article. It's just the winners of their photo contest & they're interesting and fun. No, I don't have a photo in it.

The link should take you to the article without having to register or do anything else but enjoy.

Let me know if they say you have to? I'll lodge a complaint. You shouldn't have to.

Good Morning! Sharing this article.

Winners from the travel photo contest. Scroll all the way through.

Full disclosure war.

Gotta go paint a living room for a client. Have a great Tuesday!

@ellesu

Thank you so much. They take forever to do, but I'm beginning to see sales, so . . . fingers crossed.

@Yarnchick

Thanks!

It's cloudy & looking like rain here. So, I'm working on my little trees.

The lavenders lotus one is done. The pale blues & crystals one (it's an 'Elsa' theme) is nearing completion, and the one that looks undressed is just beginning. 😀
