No, that's not my inner pirate.
It's just me getting frustrated.
We don't have even one level surface in our garage.
I did get the scallop-y things on the sides cut.
And I figured out which pieces would be a problem and fixed them.(there were a lot)
I got parts of the shelves screwed together. Pre-drill, pre-drill, pre-drill.
(I can screw the upright parts to the shelf, but I can't screw the shelves together. I can screw each shelf to the sides, so that should be good enough.)
And here's the really frustrating part. I only have part of today to work on it. Why?
We're going to the Governor's Ball.
We're going to the Governor's Ball.
Yeah. I know.
Sounds fun, right?
Kind of like a mom prom or something?
I'd rather just go to a movie, to be honest.
It was fun the first three times. But this is (holy cow!)something like the 9th time we've gone. It gets old.
There's always the "what to wear" dilemma. There isn't one event in the rest of my life that requires formalwear, so I never want to buy a whole new outfit. And I can only rotate what I have for so long.
Also, it doesn't help that we're chaperoning 26 high school kids. Who, to be fair, are almost always good. We've never had a very serious problem.
(Except for that one kid who made every girl on the trip cry at least once. He was such a weenie! He broke a chair in the hotel, too. We decided if he ever came again, his mom had to come with him.)
So, tune in tomorrow and see if I've made more than a snail's pace of progress.

I'd say put that drill in your hair and give it a whirl or two. Just think of the lovely, curly, whirly hair thing you will have going on. No one will even NOTICE what you're wearing! Trust me! xo Diana ps. I hope you have fun at the end of the day!
ok i have to be honest here.... the governor's ball sounds like hell to me. i am so with you on just going to a movie... or better yet curling up at home under a blanket with a book or movie to watch! :) homebody much? yeah, that's me. but you know what, you will have so much fun! those are always the types of things i DREAD but always walk away having had a great time.
and the project will be there tomorrow, as frustrating as that is to us DIY'ers.
the cubbies are lookin' good!!! and MOM PROM, i like that. :) have fun!
The cubbies are looking great! I was thinking that you could use the Kreg pocket joiner tool on the back side to hold it all together(we love our Kreg,) but you'll probably be fine with screwing in the sides.
Getting dressed up for an event that doesn't include the chicken dance(why do they do that at weddings?) sounds like fun to me. Hope you take pics.
The Governor's Ball sounds exciting. But I'm the same way. The thought of finding something to wear would do me in. Have fun!
The cubby is coming along nicely.
The governor's ball -- sounds okay... if I could wear my jammies! that's all I wear these days.
Good luck on the cubbies! they are going to be awesome. (use a little soap on your screws - makes a big difference) but yep pre-drill always!
have a good time!

Don't know what size you are, but I have a PERFECT dress that I will probably never wear again. Black jersey, very forgiving, beaded V-neckline, really rather long. It goes to within a few inches of the floor on me, and I'm 5'8. It's a medium/10-ish. I work near the airport and if you want to shoot me an e-mail, I can bring it in when you're going to be in town. It's yours if you want it... (IAmAnonyvox at gmail dot com)
The cubbies are coming along! I hope you have fun at the Governor's Ball even though you aren't thrilled about going :)!
I hope your cubby project will all be worth it in the end! I have every confidence in you. Have fun at the ball, Cinderella!
Where you dressed as Snow White or Cinderella? Can't wait to see how the scallopy-thing will look finished and when you have it painted.
