I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano and I think this is just what I need to get me to sign up for lessons.

Age Groups for Comic
Has anyone ever seen this? Age groups for comics. I wonder why 30 is the cutoff for ranges.
Happy Feet
I'm having the hardwood floors on the second floor, and the stairs up to the second floor, refinished by Happy Feet Hardwood Flooring. Today they sanded and put one coat of polyurethane down. The house REEKS. I'm sleeping either in the back room, or in the sunroom, whichever feels more comfortable. It's not really that smelly in those rooms, now that I've opened the windows and put the fan on.
I can't wait until they're done! In the meantime, my bedroom's in the dining room, my clothes are in the office, and my shoes are in trash bags. The cats are freaking out, being stuck in the sunroom all day, I can't take a shower. Small sacrifices for beautiful floors.
Pictures to come next week.

Crazy Cat Lady
If Chris Leavins was local, I'd totally try to go out with him. Check out his recent tribute to Crazy Cat Ladies.
New Car, Same Old Problems
Today's treat: A New Tire! For the low cost of $152.00, I have a new rear tire to replace the one that had a nail stuck in it. It was too close to the edge to be plugged. How convenient.
While I was feeling frustrated and disappointed, one of the nice ladies who works in Service said: "Just think, you're lucky it wasn't an older tire. If it was worn down a lot, you'd have to get two new tires to make sure the car was balanced."
Every cloud has a silver lining.
The black lining inside the silver lining is for the service guy who wasn't careful enough to not get black stuff scraped onto my rim when either removing or replacing the wheel onto the car. 10 points for carelessness. I used a mitten I bought on clearance from Target to wipe off as much as I could. I actually think there's a scuff but I just didn't feel like putting up a stink. I had to pee, so I just had to get out of there.
