Wait til you see this!

We accomplished so much today!  It was amazing.  I know I use the word amazing quite a bit - but if you knew us you would understand that it is truly amazing that we accomplished anything!  Between me working 50 hours a week plus 10 travel hours - I'm exhausted and don't really want to do anything when I get home let alone doing physical work.  And, on my weekends, I just wanna sleep and quilt.  So, like I said, what we accomplished today was amazing!

The snow is coming this Friday with a high of 30*.  Today we worked our arses off.  We got the insulation installed - not an easy project - and itchy!!!  Then we attached most of the paneling. 

During all of this, I was the 9th caller at our local radio station KPND 95.3 for VIP Tickets for four to see Milo Greene and lunch at Capones in Couer d'Alene, ID and the newest CD.  Gonna take our besties and their daughter.  Yes, I know it is five people but it is a restaurant!  What a great day!

PS.  Congratulations Mr. President! 
PPS. Looks like I can marry my best friend - legally!

Seriously, WOW! 

Apparently, we will be getting our first snow this coming Friday.  :(    Which means that we will not be able to truly work on the trailer until probably.....March.  Ugh!  (That thought really depresses me!)  According to the weather people today and tomorrow are our last nice days til.....March.  Next Monday, during the first good snow, I'll be getting the snow tires put on Louise; our Volvo.  I know, I know...I'm whining.  Sorry, I just REALLY hate the snow season!  Back to our regulary scheduled program:

We got up early this morning, ya right.  It was more like 8:30am - but early enough.  We were working on the trailer by 10:30am.  Not too bad.  What we accomplished was amazing!  We got the dinnette seating area finished.  We got the entire back wall up.  We installed the bed too.  OMG!!!  Like I said, AMAZING!  And, with the help of George and Dennis - we having working running lights and tail lights.  Woo Hoo!!!

Tomorrow, on our very last nice day (ever) until March 2013, we will put the siding on her.  Can you believe this???  I'm mean, seriously, we have been working on her since MAY!!!  Of course, during the snow season, we will work on making curtains, bedding, cushions, and LOTS of quilts!  But, for all intents and purposes, she will just need a paint job in & out, and then we will need to put on the cupboard doors and install all the trim outside. 

I don't want to jinx us but I really do think we will take her out on her maiden voyage by next May!  (Knock on wood.  Fingers' crossed.)

And, now:  WOW!
