Boring blatherings

Well, I think I am pretty much recovered thank God! I am NOT a good sick person. We went out yesterday. Our first stop was Suburban Propane to sign our contract and give them a $350 check - UGH! However, if we want to continue to have heat, hot water, and use our stove I guess we'll just have to chalk it up to a necessity. They came out Wed. or Thurs. last week and filled up our tanks, we have 2 huge tanks (50 gallons apiece I think) which of course were almost empty... We've been trying to have it done every since we closed on the cabin- we've spent quite a bit of time here the past few months and thankfully haven't run out of gas. The whole operation seems rather incompentent. I'm glad it seems to be straightened out.

We stopped at Rite Aid looking for the elusive blue icicle lights ( I always get my way!) ended up buying a 6 foot white tree to have up here it was only $5, and will take up so much less room than my 7 foot tree that is extremely full and only breaks down into 3 large pieces... Storage is a major consideration here- to say the least! Of course I didn't realize until after the fact that it isn't prelit like the white trees the girls got, and lights on white wires are almost impossible to find. Oh well, I have a year... The Christmas Mouse had some: $10 for 100 lights- yeah right!. I'm thinking the Christmas shop at the Pottery might have them (everything is 50% off) we went yesterday but they were closed for inventory! Bummer- maybe I'll try again today.

I also need to do laundry, I can't believe that I haven't washed a load of clothes in over a week- that is unbelievable to me. At home I do laundry everyday- I think I'm getting ready to pay the price for my slackness though! Although- this place is pretty much deserted, there are 4 machines in the laundry room, maybe I'll get lucky and can use all 4 at one time!

Hoping the weather will be nice today- I would LOVE to get my sconces spraypainted.
