I'm a few minutes late for the LINK meeting, and this time they start without me.  Pinpricks to my ego. The meeting lasts 90 minutes, which turns our pot luck luncheon into a brunch.  Even though I have come empty-handed, I have no qualms about digging in -- and there is plenty of food to eat.

Yesterday Andy and Barb and I drove to Shopko together.  I bought a gallon of champagne (white) semi-gloss paint, 2-inch-wide masking tape, and two gallons of windshield washer fluid.  I spent the morning on two project, one obvious (painting the bedroom), one not so (taping the Hot Dogs on the flip side of the Boxtops. Even though I spill most of the paint onto the plastic covering, I am still able to finish the job in slightly more than an hour.  The rest of the day is spent rearranging furniture at JoAnna's insistence.  For an hour or so, I'm a snarling maniac, increasingly unsure about the wisdom of the project.  Once we finish, though, our new bedroom looks great.
