"Well this is going to be as exciting as "watching paint dry" ?I've been lucky enough to not have to put up with any of these episodes recently.

"Well this is going to be as exciting as "watching paint dry" ?
LOL, today we have painters & carpenters at the house and I'm working at home in case they need something. Not much work for me today, though, and the big concern is getting the painting done between rain storms. So literally, I'm watching paint dry today.
Last things that you thought would be as exciting as "watching paint dry" but turned out to be a lot more interesting/fun ?
The drama of two houses sharing a driveway, with one house having major remodeling work and the other house having moving vans and furniture deliveries, combined with a road closure and passing severe storms, has turned out to be more interesting than you mgiht think. It's quite a dance we're all doing.

Yesterday. The pool is 2 short blocks away so I walk over there all the time. I tend to goof around in the water rather than swim laps.

"Well this is going to be as exciting as "watching paint dry" ? I'm tutoring this summer & although parents said they wanted their kids to come many of them aren't. We provide transportation, so they don't even have to bring the kids. So for a couple hours there's not much to do.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your
Etch-A-Sketch skills ? How about a -1. My 15 yr. old niece is amazing with an etch-a-sketch. One of my nephews was challenging her to draw people and things. He had her draw a dog. Amazing. Then Abe Lincoln. It looked just like him. Next was the Titanic sinking. Incredible. Then Abe Lincoln walking a dog on the deck of the Titanic as it was sinking. I don't know how she does it, but it seems to come easily to her.
It is supposed to be close to 90 today, so I'll be back at the pool after tutoring. Have a good day!
