Feel sad for me....

I know most of you look at Tom and I and assume we must live a glamorous life.  What with the house in Holliston, the dogs, the picket fence, the endless hours of home renovations and landscaping.  You probably think our life is a whirlwind of excitement.

It will surprise you to know that you are wrong.  Case in point:  We have house cleaners that come every other week.  I had started to become a little dissapointed in their work, so I sent an email to the owner of the business sharing my "concerns".  I included pictures :-)

Yesterday was the first cleaning since my email, and the place was spotless.  OH JOY!  The BEST part was the toilet paper in both bathrooms.  CHECK IT OUT!

LOOK - just like a hotel!
When I went to the upstairs bathroom after I got home from work I noticed it.  Because I was SO excited I reached over to under the sink to use a new roll of toilet paper so I could preserve the toiletry art for Tom's viewing pleasure.  I found Tom in the bedroom and told him the exciting news!  Guess what?  Tom TOO had already used the bathroom since he had been home and he TOO had reached under the sink for another roll of toilet paper so as to not spoil the opportunity of such a moment for me!
Little did either of us know at the time that the downstairs bathroom was graced with the same artistry - we ARE blessed.

So, there you have it, that was, by far, the highlight of my week.

How did you spend your day?

This is EXACTLY how Ringo and Puss spent much of Sunday.

BUSTA MOVE!


We each contribute in our own way

Tom and I both took 2 days off of work last week to make a 4 day weekend.  We both had our own ideas as to how to best spend our time off.

I chose to meet up with friends in CT for a couple of nights at a country Inn.  The weekend started with me meeting my Long Island chum Amy on the coast of CT for lunch.
The afternoon starts out innocent enough
The champagne clearly has an effect on Amy
Luckily, I am able to maintain my dignity
Amy and I continue on to the Inn and meet up with our friends Ann Marie and Connie.  Two full days of fine dining and spa treatments ensue.

Quote of the weekend:  "Another round please"


Tom took a decidedly different approach to his time off:
Isn't this fun dad?
24 hours of back-breaking work later and Tom's halfway there!

Lest you think I didn't contribute in a useful manner at all, I DID take the pendant lights that hang over the stove down to clean them.  Feel free to admire the fruits of my labor:

The replacement should run us a couple hundred bucks
