The Smoke is Clearing

But we're still putting out fires!

Craziness, we've been completely out of our other space and working in the tulip tree too for 2 weeks now. It's crowded, disorganized, grumpy, and best of all TEMPORARY.

Strangely everyone who suggests a new plan for the shop has nearly the same idea...that's good I suppose. I've made a paper doll setup sheet for us to share designs with and I believe that when things come together we'll all be very comfortable. It's just the getting there that's gonna be a bit of work and a lot of patience.

Adda & I went to Wendover Wedneday. Neither of us won this time, but then I didn't expect to. We had fun, did some relaxing and ate terrific beat salad (we both groov on the beets at the buffet). Those Bendover days are becoming one of my favorite parts of the mandatory Tulip Tree lifestyle :)

On the opposite side of my life Scott & I have realized that we have 2 months to plan, pack, and move into the campground. It's gonna be better than last year just because it's considerably more organized! I'm gonna miss my flower folk, but I'm selfish enough to do this. Besides, also I miss my camping folk! I fully realize how spoiled rotten I am, but I'm OWNING it and ROCKING it for another year! Besides, I gotta let my floral peeps cash in on some of my camping perks!

Scott & I are finally nesting into our house. A week or so ago we had a conversation in which it became apparent that we are not moving for a while...this wasn't a surprise so much as an acknowledgment of reality. We only planned on 5 years when we bought the house, but it's been 8 and where would we move to?!? It's horribly convenient for both of us. I do intend to keep tabs on local availability, but don't have hopes of anything we would afford opening up. So we're making this house be more of what we want. Besides, it already looks like a florist lives here RIGHT? Apparently book shelves were mandatory...such a small thing really. Bless IKEA, and we mostly agreed on style (I'll get my shelves later on).

Scott's setting up a fish tank. Our remaining river fish have new friends and a bigger house. Larry the intake surfing daredevil continues to reign supreme. The old pros seem to be helping the newbies figure out the rules rather quickly. I miss the round table (our three giant gold fish) but like the new guys too. I've yet to come up with a clever name for them, probably something borg-ish.

I let the tags on my car go out of registration and am stuck driving the rumble car. Scott REALLY NEEDS A MUFFLER, and no it doesn't count that he has the one that fell off sitting in the side yard! I miss my purple monster! Even our evil step child Chris wondered how he deals with the noise every day. I feel very validated. I offered Chris the headphones Scott makes me wear when I complain, he just looked at me funny...I must need to work on my dirty looks.

Off to bed now, happy weekend y'all!
