Where’s Enas?

Yes, sorry for the virtual disappearing act. It is busy at work and busy at home these days. I read everybody’s stuff, but I just don’t comment much lately. It’s a character flaw, I know, and I do try and work on it. Sometimes anyway.

So a little bit of catching up with some stuff. First off – I finished my bathroom!! YES!! It took the better part of FOUR weekends but I finally finished it off last Friday. It looks fantastic, I have to say. I took pictures, but I doubt they do it justice. I’ll put them up soon anyway so stay tuned. I also got some interesting ideas about the paint I used. I haven’t tried them out yet, but I plan to this weekend.

Item two: vacation plans! I was approved for two weeks off starting two weeks from today. The Parental Units & I are doing a Road Trip from Las Vegas to Jacskson Hole in Wyoming to go see the Grand Tetons. We’re going to stop by Salt Lake City on the way up and see what the Mormons are up to. On the way back we’re gonna swing down to the lower Utah / upper Arizona boarder and check out Monument Valley national park and finally swing through the lower end of Zion national park in western Utah. It will be really nice to get out of town and this dreadful heat. I will take my camera and get lots of pictures. I’m also taking my watercolor pad and paints and hopefully there will be some time and opportunity to get a few quick ones done. I dunno. We’ll see.

Item three – a new leather lusting!  No, it’s not more Saddleback stuff.  Well, yes ok there is some of that too, but that’s not what this is about.  This is about boots!  Specifically – these boots.   I WANT.  Very much bad.  The guy who runs Saddleback has a twitter account that I follow and yesterday he said that they will have some new merchandise soon!  That day in fact!  Alas, he then changed it to today, and now it looks like it’s been pushed back to tomorrow.  Anyway, they also have a facebook account and I got to see a few pictures of the new stuff coming out.  Very cool!  And, yes I plan to buy something.  Anyway, getting back to those awesome boots.  Someone on the facebook page asked if there was a boot maker kind of on the level of Saddleback’s bags and someone replied with a link to that West Coast Shoe Compay site.  I’ve always wanted some boots like those and now I’m obsessing on them. 

I gotta go get my meds, so I’ll type at y’all some more later.
