I've been a painting contractor since 1979, with forays into other ventures along the way. I have painted shopping malls, Victorian mansions, new builds, striped parking lots, thousands of homes and businesses, freeway retaining walls and underpasses...pretty much anything that stands still long enough to be painted. I've run crews and been a foreman (forewoman, I guess) and taught many people the craft.
Dogmuse is recently reincarnated. In my 16 month absence, it continued to get a fair bit of traffic, according to sitemeter. Oh dear, another abandoned blog? Nope. I am 50 and live in Michigan with two Rottweilers, a Nottweiler and three accidental cats. I do agility and paint houses and write sometimes. My favourite icecream flavor is peanut butter. I can probably beat your ass at Scrabble. How's that for succinct?

I think perhaps you and both need to rethink the term "vacation." I cleaned my garage and my home office. . . Do we know how to kick back or what?? LOL!!
Yep!! I saw ya wavin'
I do quite a bit of volunteer work through my job (Habitat for Humanity, Focus Hope) and try to volunteer occasionally at the local Senior Center run by our City.
Hope all is well!!
Almost forgot. . . Hug Pedro for me. . . LOL!
No kidding!
I put in a volunteer application with Habitat for Humanity last spring and they never responded. :(
Oh...Pedro is fine. He is on my computer monitor now, actually. He came down to Jackson for Christmas with me but I forgot to take his picture. Pedro says "hi back, you rock Lauren." ROTFLMAO.
Think I'll take him to work in Grand Blanc today.
More beige? But hey! Decals and light blue!
Is that your place, or was Cooper visiting the job site?
Oh, it's a rather nice house with a pool in the back yard, great big party basement and circular driveway...WISH it was mine!
It's empty and having lots of work done....I worked some last weekend. Since there weren't carpenters, floor guys, plumbers etc all over the place I brought Cooper along.
is that like a busman's holiday?
hows pedro doing?
You cannot call it a vacation if you work. Especially if you work as hard as you do. You still get to have a vacation.

So you see, you just haven't had yours yet. Cool, now you have that to look forward to. And so does Pedro.
