I was half joking. Because, you know, cookies are my kriptonite.

Congratulations to your family. You could send cookies to me. Even virtual cookies would be welcome, as they have started my new floor today, and I have no refrigerator, stoves, freezer, dishwasher and (of course) no washer and dryer. I am trapped in a noisy house with three men banging around (counting my husband who can’t keep out of the project). None of them take directions from me! They keep asking for instant decisions like “you don’t really want that swinging door between the kitchen and the dining room do you?”

Woe, is me. A cookie would be nice right now. I can’t even reach my cookie jar!

The good news is that the paint is finished in the laundry room, and I LOVE. We painted it red after 2 otherr cans of paint looked blah on the wall. I love my red laundry room so much I may move my laptop out there. There is a built in desk that I’ve never used because the previous wall color (sky blue) wasn’t very welcoming. The blue was blah with the off white counters. The red has a lot of pizzaz.

I spent the morning at the laundromat which was a learning experience for me. I haven’t set foot in a laundromat since 1961. I managed to find 3 machines that didn’t work (after they ate $6 of my quarters). The whole experience cost me $17 for 2 large loads of wash (counting the lost change). I loaded my wash into machines 6-8 times, rejecting one machine after the other. Grrrrrr. I’m glad I won’t have to do that much longer.
