It's Finished!!

Tonight, at 8:57 PM, Lazy Gnome drove her car into the garage for the very first time--an historical moment!!

To say it has been a long and rather tumultuous road is an understatement...and this post will be brief to focus on the positives! Now that the building is done and is all mine, and there is just niggly business stuff to look after, LG will probably feel better about summarizing the process and coming up with a "in retrospect" kind of lessons learned, sparing her readers the petulant--but justified!!--moans and groans (oh, the agony!) she has been through. But now, she is so happy she has the hiccups!!

Another reason to celebrate is that a very good friend had her third baby in the wee hours today--a shiny, bouncy baby boy. I don't know his name yet but that's okay...

LG should get some shut eye--her big adventure tomorrow is getting the car in for its winterization...smell any irony there? The first freezing cold spell is already upon us, and the car finally gets to sleep inside after two winters exposed--and NOW we are getting it ready for the season? Well, yes--and LG may buy winter tires: even the thought of the occasional trek to her office at the South Pole fills her with dread in good weather--this is craziness! And just in time--with the tires--as LG must drive on Monday in order to meet the furnace repair guy here...long story, and no doubt LG will bore you with it. Yes, there is heat; and yes, there are cats--let's just leave it at that for now!

LG is giving herself a Safeway-made salad, a cheap French wine and the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice tonight...we will see if it is any match to Colin Firth....sigh...
