Okay - I just don't feel like doing anything. So if I run away - anyone have a spare square of floor they could roll out for me : )
Otherwise - I'll have to fold laundry : (

Sure come on down. I've got plenty of room and i promise you don't have to do anything. Well maybe keep an eye out for the bear if you go outside. He paid us a visit at 5:30 this morning and I got a good look at him, but didn't have the camera. He just sauntered down the driveway in front of the house and on out towards the road. We have a motion sensor light or I would never have thought to look out when I did.
Oh yeah, my husband helps do the laundry, so you're safe there too.

Gosh, we even have a spare bed if that's any help! And the west is really pretty at this time of year - as it always is! (Just ignore all our un-folded laundry in the laundry room on your way in!)

I have felt like that all day! I am waiting for an HR person at the school district to call me back and I really feel like I am spinning my wheels waiting! After 12 years at home, I really want to be working and the waiting has me wanting to run away and find a nice long hike or a warm coffee shop and a good book! Either works for me! Anyone got one or the other to offer?

When all my kids (5 of them!!) were younger and at home, I had more than a few overwhelming laundry moments. I learned to occassionally take my laundry to the local laundrymat where they would charge me by the pound to wash and fold or hang my laundry. I kept the wet towels at home and did them myself since they tend to be heavier.
In the mean time, I actively taught my kids to do their own laundry. This greatly lightened my load as they grew older.
I feel your pain.

All you people who want to run away could come here to NC! Coffee shops, bookstores, long hikes--we've got them right here in Asheville. In several such locations there are actually letterboxes! (Malaprop's has coffee, books AND letterboxes.)
And just when it's miserably cold up north, we've got a gathering in January, so come down now and see the leaves starting to turn, or come down in January and see the locals turn -- blue from the "cold" that is -- (which the Northerners would probably find "bracing" LOL).

While EVERYONE's offers are more than fabulous sounding, I stuck to the laundry and managed to get through it! One of these days - I'll just hop in my car and just drive around and visit everyone I want to. The down side to being an adult and a parent... less chance for spur of the moment trips like in college.
But I was given an offer I couldn't pass up. A 6am trip to Dover-Foxcroft, Maine on Sunday morning. Doesn't it sound like a blast?
Woohoo!!!
mud *Who truely appreciates everyone's offer*

I'm trying to decide if I want to try NaNo this year... It really depends on if I am moving in November or not... but, I also have no writing experience and have no idea what I would write about; but I guess sometimes you just need to sit and plow through first, right?? Get those creative juices flowing! ;o)

You can get an inverter cheaper. I think they are either $10 or $20 and you can use it for more than just your laptop.
