Another weekend is here

I love Friday evenings. The work week is over and I know that Sam and I have a couple of days to spend together. We see each other so little through the week. Our work schedules are just different enough to make it hard. Usually by the time he's getting home I should be going to bed. I don't usually though or I'd never see my husband.

For the next month or two I don't see us exactly enjoying our weekends though because of this home improvement project we got ourselves into. That's actually where Sam is right now. He went to Lowe's tonight to get the sheetrock, so we can get busy on the ceiling early in the morning. We only have 4 more sheets to get up. Even to me, that doesn't sound like much, but somehow it is when you're lifting that heavy sheet of sheetrock.

While we're doing the ceilings and repainting the walls I think we should either put new carpet down or lay tile. We looked at some tile last weekend, but when we found some we liked it was pretty expensive. I'm still not sure it would look real good not having the same tile all through the house. It may be better to go back to carpet.

The airlines are having another price war, so that's great for us. We like to go to the other islands and it's a perfect time when tickets are $19 one way. So, today we booked our flights for October. We're going to go to the Big Island again. Those mini vacations are so nice. Just to get away for a couple of days is refreshing.

We (or I should say Sam) have been walking Bill's dog, Kea. He's cute, but a handful to walk because he barks at everything. He only stands a foot tall, but thinks he's the toughest little thing around. Sam walks him in the morning and we usually walk him together in the evening. I feel bad that Sam is stuck doing it both times, but just before leaving Bill got a new room mate and I don't feel real comfortable going in not knowing when he's there. The other night Sam was going to be late, so I needed to walk Kea and sure enough Bill's roommate was just getting out of the shower. It wasn't the most comfortable situation for either of us.

Well, Sam just called and is on his way home, so I'm going to close and go open the gate. We have to bring those sheets in the house yet tonight and then go walk Kea.
