This?
This is the way I usually feel at our cabin. Ahhh. Total relaxation. (And yes, I know the carpet is disgusting, but we can’t replace until we finish the remodeling projects…. ) (And it matches the dog. )
This trip wasn’t family time, movies, popcorn, puzzles, etc. We. Did. Work.
Since I wasn’t my usual sedentary self this weekend, here are a few things I learned:
1. Our refrigerator needs to be replaced. It is either too warm (and we throw out $300 worth of food) or it is waaaay too cold.
2. When cans of Diet Coke or bottles of beer become too cold and freeze, they explode.
3. It is not fun to clean out a fridge that has exploded coke and beer inside of it.
4. If there is frozen bottle of beer that hasn’t yet exploded, the moment you put your hand on it… it will.
5. Glass bottles that explode in your hand really hurt.
6. A 5 year old boy can manage to grind a pound of dirt under his fingernails, even if those fingernails are clipped short.
7. If you spend the day prepping and sanding new walls and ceilings for paint, you get drywall dust all over you, and it will work its way into every little crevice in the house.
8. Drywall dust absorbs the moisture right out of your skin.
9. Skin lacking moisture becomes like sandpaper and will snag socks and clothing later on when doing laundry.
10. Some clothing is more delicate than previously thought.
11. If you find an abandoned bird’s nest in the woodpile, score! You can take it home and use it with your spring decor.
12. Just because birds no longer reside in a nest does not mean there are no other residents.
13. Liberally spraying natural “finds” with bug spray is always a good idea before taking them into your home.
But seriously…. how cool is this nest? Not sure what I’ll do with it yet, but it’ll come to me. (It’ll probably come to me being carried by little bugs, but whatever.)
