So, first things first, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be speaking at Crossroads Baptist Church in The Woodlands tonight (Tuesday, April 12th) from 7-9 (I won’t be speaking that entire time because no one wants to hear me for two hours). It’s a free event and you can find out more information right here on their website.
In other news, things around here can best be summed up by me telling you I’m trying to finish a book. I’m on the downhill side at this point which is great considering my deadline is just a month and a half away. But it occupies most of my brain right now because if I’m not actually writing the book then I’m thinking about how I should be writing the book or I’m watching Netflix feeling guilty for not writing the book. Or I completely derail and start looking at things on Pinterest like “How to Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets”. And that’s really no good for anyone.
On Saturday we spent a lot of the day getting the house cleaned up because we were having a bunch of people from Community Worship over to cook out. The house was actually not bad, but I needed to clean our back porch area. Piper and Mabel have completely taken it over and feel that the new furniture is solely there for their comfort and enjoyment and so I needed to wash the slipcovers. But when I walked outside on Saturday morning it looked like a murder scene. There was blood everywhere. And I thought, “Well, this is something they don’t show you in the Restoration Hardware catalog”.
As it turns out, Piper had cut her foot on part of our fence and then bled all over the patio. And the furniture. And the sidewalk. And the truth is it was actually a pretty minor cut but I guess it was one of those that hit something just right and BLOOD. ALL THE BLOOD. It didn’t phase her at all but I really thought they must have killed a squirrel or something.
So I washed all the slipcovers and scoured the patio because I may not be Martha Stewart but I’m socially savvy enough to know most people don’t want to see blood all over the place while eating a hamburger.
We had a great time on Saturday night and then went to church on Sunday morning. Then, as soon as we got home, I fell asleep for about three hours. I don’t know if I have a cold or allergies or what, but it has knocked me flat for the last several days.
As for the rest of this week, I’ll just be here writing a book. Have I mentioned that?
Hope you have a great day!
