another busy day at our house

I went home for lunch today. The painters are still there. They should be finished today. I brought Millie out to meet the painter's dog, Marcus. It didn't go very well. I don't think they liked each other very much, but both of them shut up when I pulled out the doggie crack. No dog can resist this.

I was also waiting for our new house cleaners to arrive. Steven and I have come to the conclusion that we simply don't have enough time to do everything and the expense of house cleaners is worth it to us to reclaim some time in our lives. When the cleaners arrived they were very nice and got right to work. It was a husband and wife team. The wife speaks no English, but the husband talks enough for the both of them. They did a really nice job and even cleaned places that I rarely think of, like on top of the ceiling fans.

Now I am back at work. Steven thinks he might be able to leave work on time tonight, so maybe we will be able to sneak out for a cocktail before dinner.

Only two more days until our Key West anniversary weekend! I can't wait.
