Getting ready to sail off to the port of indecision.....

That's right! JIMMY BUFFETT IS TOMORROW!

I'm just a little excited. Guess what else happens tomorrow? IT'S GAMEDAY.....WOOOOO!

So, my clothing will be a mixture of themes - jersey and gameday accessories until start Buffett tailgating, then it will go to parrothead attire :) This weekend should be fun - we are staying in DC through Monday, so we will tool around the city all day Sunday. John is staying with grandparents, so it will be weird not to have our little bugger with us.

Off topic, Sharon made a funny comment last night that I never though I'd hear her say (and I'm paraphrasing): "I'm sick of all the animals. I wish we could get rid of them all except Hokie. He's the only one I like!" What makes this amusing is the number of times that Hokie's existence has been threatened by said person (though not lately) :)

I got most of the posts for the outside railing set last weekend - hopefully I can get most of the rest of the woodwork done if we get back early on Labor Day (working on Labor Day - how literal). I was worried because the rope looked like it was going to be terribly expensive - I needed around 400', at about 40-50 cents per foot. Well, I was saved by Ebay! I am now the proud owner of a 600' roll of 1/2" manila rope for the massively discounted price of $65 (including shipping!). This will give me more than enough for the deck and any future projects or accents.

I need to post more photos - I'll put up both railings (before and after) when I can.

Until then, I'll be searching for my lost shaker of salt.
