Good Sunday Morning Is Here!

Thought for the Day:.....
It's a special person who can receive without forgetting and give
without remembering.

Coffee is ready!

Fill Yer Cup!

Time & Temp in Toronto is...It is quite overcast too & there is a muggy breeze(BUT it could change at any time!)....lol

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The "start" of another week for some is here!

Happy Sunday morning!

Quite muggy out there this morning already.

"The Ladies & I didn't mess around today...they wanted back in where it is cool & so did I!

Yesterday went sorta well......I painted a primer on the "sofa" & also top-coated 1 chair and the one table,(the other table for some reason she said NOT to do??????(her game, her rules!)

Today...I'll get the second chair done and the sofa too.

I had to quit yesterday because the paint was drying on the brush, before I could get it spread on the furniture.

I hated the thoughts of covering the road twice BUT even IF the paint had of stayed so that I could spread it...I had to let the primer coat on the sofa "season" 24 hours!

Working for this person...I follow the rules to the "T"!......NOT giving her 1 inch of space to put my azz in a sling! I will say tho.....IF this paint peels 'tween now and next season...it will be through no fault of mine!

BTW....had dh make some calls...IF she would of sent it out to be "professionally" done...her "Tab " would of been in the area of $1200-$1500!!!

I figure my "Tab" will be "in the area of $300-$400"!

I really don't think she was justified in offering me what she did originally, right?

Anyway...it is... what it is!

People!

I am very rapidily getting to the point lately....where I would very much rather "leave

them than take them"!!!!

How about you?

Have you been disallusioned(sp) in your fellow mankind lately?

I guess it could be worse.......I could have no talent what-so-ever!

Just wish I had of made another "career choice" some days...Most of the time tho...I am happy...even working with the "weirdos"!

I think I have come to the point of the morning where it is time to say....

Have a Fantabulous Sunday!

Take care.

Be safe.

Prayers to Those in Need.

We'll look forward to seeing ya back here tomorrow morning, okay?

Hugs to all,

Carol/CSW/cas

(btw....I tried to mix up the "shares" today...I find I tend to lead out in the "Dessert" direction more often than not!....lol)

I use butter and olive oil to fry the patties.
