Yup, I'm back!! lol I took some time off from mylot for a few days to get my head on straight and to catch up on some cleaning and painting of my house! I painted my living room and now it looks awesome!! It took me three days to get it done and it looks really nice now. I spent the last two days cleaning from top to bottom and I'm so tired from all that action!! lol So do you welcome me back or do you wish I stayed away longer? LMBO!! Just kidding folks!! Just kidding!! Now give me a run down on how everything is going with you!! Yes! Of course, I interested!!

The computer has you tied to it, doesn't it? It is very addicting especially when we've made such wonderful friends like we have. But like the telephone, when it first came out, people were on it all the time till they realized that there's life to be lived so they got right to it! lol Hope you're able to get to your garden soon!

Well I'm not kidding when I say you should have stayed away longer............that way you could have got the rest of your house painted and I would have gotten to see those lovely pictures too! LOL You did a great job on the living room MB. Your time away from the lot was well spent, so good for you! Hugs and nice to see you back.

Welcome back Darlin, its nice to have you back. I have been at my moms a couple of days. I went with her to her doc appt, we then went by the grocery store for supplies. Then back to her house to get busy. We did some canning. We made chili sauce, some call it a tomato relish. We also made a batch of hot pepper jelly. The chili sauce takes two days to make that. Its really good stuff. She is getting ready for a craft show and sale at church this fall, She wants to make some money, she probably spends more money and then she also has the time spent making things. But she likes to do stuff like that, then she recruits me as her helper. Today I have just been home, I need to get motivated around here, I have tons of work that I need to get done, Painting, cleaning, stuff like that. Plus in the next few days I have to close the pool, its that time of year. how long do you leave you pool open? Take care Cats, as always its nice to see you.

They're on page 12 with 45 pictures showing. For what I see, Spanky is ahead of me because he/she was one of the ones in first place. Sweetie was behind me but now Max is. So if I'm calculating this correctly, Spanky is ahead of me. Hubby and I've been working diligently on it tonight and so far we're still behind. There's only 6 more days of the contest and hopefully I'll get far enough ahead of them that I'll win hands down and then to see the smile on my parents faces will be a huge Kodak moment!! Please God, let me win this for mom and dad!! Please?!

Wow only a few days - I've been taking weeks at a time off, have just so many hours in a day and have been seriously working on other things. I've been working at local call center which I still hate and do more each day and writing, writing, writing. Have been doing slideshows of local parks and writing about those along with personal stories... WELCOME BACK :) amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do for a room :)

Hi byfaithonly!! I've seen others take months and months off at a time! That's a long time! I can't lose touch with my friends on here for they mean too much to me to leave them behind but there again, I don't work so I have more time to devote to mylot than you do so there's a big difference there. Don't be gone for so long, ok?! We do miss you!!

I can cut in, in fact, even AFTER I had cut in one time, the others who were painting the rest bulk of the walls STILL managed to get paint on the trim and the ceiling! And we can't blame it on the blind roommate because she WASN'T one of the painters!

LOL Ok, I'll have to do that! I know I have a lot to catch up on and in time I'll do that too. I hate to paint but do it because I'm the only one who knows how to cut it in right without getting it on the trim. Lucky me, eh? lol I've got my bedroom and mud room still to do..... bla!! lol

Hello my friend Welcome back, seems like you were really busy what color did you paint? things have been slow for me my connection is acting up so I can't enjoy mylot as much as I would normally sometimes redoing our home is such a good feeling other times it is so much work lol but I think the end result always makes things feel so much better no matter how hard it may have been, I remember me and my daughter painted our whole apartment, don't ask me how long it took lol it was worth it when we were done, I am glad we did it together no one but us that made it really special Again welcome back.

I need some of that inspiration. Of course I would feel more inspired if I had sufficient staff trained, but I am getting there. I will have to work tomorrow, as I am training someone for my Sunday hours that need filled. I will work Monday evening as I have not filled those hours yet, and it is a holiday so I could not get a substitute.So I would say, work is what is going on with me. I am glad you are back, I did miss you, but it is good that it was not a hospital thing that took you away this time or a family feud.

You sound like you're a manager of some place.... am I right? Wild guess.... It's good to be back, thanks! I wish you luck in finding someone to fill the positions you need. It's hard to find good and honest help these days.

Welcome back CatsandDogs. Hope you got everything taken care of that you needed to. I'm coming back from a longer hiatus, two 5-month breaks. Part of it was mylot exhaustion and the rest was issues in real life. Right now I'm just posting on the lot and enjoying my weekend.

Hi Hatley! It's good to be back! You know, about painting, I hate to paint because it's so messy but hubby can't cut it in like I can. I must've picked up that talent from my grandfather and dad because they both were professional painters in their day so they had to know how to do it. lol Hubby is forever bragging how I can cut it in so well and not get it on the trim. I'm just glad ONE of us can do it. lol As for being pampered, enjoy it while you can!!

That is good to hear. I have been painting my whole house inside, ceiling and all. I have been at it for two months now. I have one whole room left and a little touch up to do. It takes a long time, especially with two coats of paint also.
