Is there more to life than writing?
Today I planned to write all day long. 87k words into book 2, Out of the Box Regifted, I find that I have to table that plan for now....
My youngest son is moving his beautiful girlfriend to Houston from Fort Worth this weekend and I find that I must be a mother. There's things to be done!
First on the list is to steam clean the club chair which has graced our game room for the past I can't even remember how many years. Of all things, the happy couple wants this chair for their town home. These days, kids usually want to buy new furniture, so I'm actually happy they've asked to take this chair. It does need a little TLC though and that's where I come in.
Last night, with good intentions, I set out with a glass of wine, my music, my trusty Oreck Steam-it (which I LOVE, btw), schlepped up the stairs into the game room, only to find the machine wasn't working :(
SOOOO first thing this morning I'm at the Oreck store with Steam-it in hand and a harried look on my face. Mr. Oreck man calmed me down and told me not to stress. He cleaned the channel for me and off I was, back to the game room to resume my job at hand.
As I moved the wand back and forth over the chair, I became melancholy remembering back to the days when my kids were in high school and the favorite weekend place was the Theriot's game room. Detached and away from the house, everyone loved coming over. I wonder just what stories that club chair could tell me...hehe! I'm sure many a beer pong games were played up there and the room was host to lots of kids who loved spending the night. Even when the kids were in college it was the hangout.
This chair, now clean and like new will now go to a new home and will live on. I'll miss you Mr. Club chair! You've served my family well.
As for the writing, I'll play catchup next week;) Family time is great and you gotta grab it while you can.
Hope everyone has an Out of the Box Amazing weekend:)
