Countdown to Clay...

While the black cape has always been in play and the tiny pointed teeth a consideration when it comes to Itsy's orthodonture, it is the fuzzy purple-colored skin coating that has been growing all over us that is a bit questionable. We usually like to keep our counting tendencies to neighborhood sites like telephone poles, pigeons, stray dogs and the occasional meth lab, but as Clay moves in on Saturday we have really picked up the pace...ah, ah, ah...

- 12(00) dust bunnies thwarted
- 11 rooms of paint a splashin'
- 10 minutes of beautiful outside weather appreciated
- 9(00) rounds up and down the stairs with no noticeable muscular build up :(
- 8 days until the 1st
- 7(00) feet of floors a layin'
- 6 feet of cock-eyed retaining wall to be straightened
- 5 GOLDEN WEEKS!? Actually it is now looking like 4 and that feels a little less golden...
- 4 days of waiting on the cleaning lady
- 3 plumbers plumbin'
- 2 movers a movin' (only the big stuff)
- ...and a single lock left steadfastly unopened
