I bet your quilt is lovely. Personally, I've never bought a thing at Neiman Marcus!
Ten minutes before the drywall guy was supposed to show up last night, he sent me a text, saying that he couldn't make it. He didn't suggest another time, just said, "Can't make it". It's frustrating. You know, we pay people right away when they do stuff for us; they NEVER have to wait for their money. If they want half up front, we give it to them, no argument. A lot of times, I'll even offer to pay them half up front, just so they have the money for supplies and things they might need. We're not hard to deal with at all. I don't understand why people don't want to work with us. Is it because we're doing such little projects that it's not worth their time? I'm starting to get paranoid.
My sister and I have talked about this before; we swear that we're going to start taking drywall classes and other types of home improvement classes, just so we can help people with smaller projects. We talked about it again last night and she said that since I'm retiring, I might as well start in with classes and practicing. Yeah, I know there's a lot more involved in doing home projects, but dang it, at least we could do our own blasted work, if nothing else!

- Breakfast for the kids, walked four miles and got ready for work. (The Beast has been hanging around the cats too long; she drank some water this morning, gave a huge belch, and probably threw the water back up. Walked about a foot onto the living room carpet and BURP! Whoosh! *long drawn-out, heavy sigh* Dear Richard was not amused. He said, "That's something the cats would do!" Thankfully, he cleaned it up this time.)
- Work on some weeding tonight
