The Ugly

This should be a quick post but knowing myself so well, I will probably end up on some tangent about global warming and the effect it is having on my skin.

Hey, I'm just warning you.

Here is where I will bare my shame for all. It wasn't all that shameful until my husband decided to stuff everything into a closet.

I give you my husband's masterpiece - Books In A Closet.






So, anyone wanna guess where that one Karen Monk title I have might be? Any brave souls?

Also, this is a walk in closet so the boxes run the depth also.




I suggested that we go to IKEA and buy some bookcases because they are cheap and I could empty the boxes and see my books again. *purrrrr* Bob says forget it because he has order the plywood from his company and it's in some holding place until he can get up there to retrieve it.

Did I mention the third house closed today?

Priorities in Bob's head - don't think I'm not aware!

1. Get pool looking spotless (okay, I get this)

2. Gardening (it's July, save the money for next year!)

3. Put the new floor in the bathroom of our old house (yeah, can't wait to see when this gets done)

4. We are putting up our house on Tuesday - I told Bob that maybe my dog-eat-dog mentality was bringing everyone down so I should keep my mouth shut. At this point Bob says there are four houses on the market like ours under 300 000 and that he needs me to be the heavy. This means I have to listen to all the bitching and whining and hold steady. This ruined my birthday last year because it was 3 to 1 to drop our asking price by 40 grand. I said no fucking way and somehow I won - ruined my birthday but everyone was high fiving when we got our asking price. I told Bob I would be the heavy but he is not to ruin my birthday (Aug 25th) at which point he says, 'oh, the house will be sold by then'. *BOOM* My head exploded. At least this time, it will only be Bob and John (real estate agent) who will try and get me to back off. You'd think they would learn.

5. Yet another house.

6. Anything else that comes before anything Cindy wants.

7. Bookcases?

Geez, I did say this was a drive by post and lookit me! I'm all Gabby McGab. I'm trying to head to bed for midnight but I have a headache (probably from stressing about being on the road for 8:30am tomorrow) and I need to decompress by blog-hopping.

Also, I managed to colour my hair without bleaching stripes into my eyebrows - I forgot to colour them all together so now I'm Super blonde with black eyebrows. I tell you, I'm lucky my head is attached!

So, I'm gone tomorrow until Sunday night but I figure you all have lives and won't miss me a bit. I, on the other hand, will be stressing and acting all bizarre because I'm too far away from home.
Yeah, boo-frickin'-hoo.

I'll miss you too.

That sucks. Books in a Closet. *shaking head* They're screaming to get out. LOL

Happy Canada Day and have a nice long weekend!

When we moved my husband immediately unpacked every gadget in the kitchen, every frying pan, every spoon. We had books in boxes for two years until I found some bookcases on an online sale.

Ordered. Arrived. Dear Butcher assembles. Books in bookcases.

Four weeks later he says, "I'm thinking that we need to rearrange the bedrrom and get rid of soem of the shelves." Murderous intent flashed in Suisan's eyes.

But I'll miss you--who's going to keep me sane enough to prevent spousecide?

Oh Cindy - I share your books in boxes pain. Some of mine I haven't seen in years. And why oh why don't they have the same priorities as we do?

Ames - I went and assured my books that I would break them out if they weren't out of the closet by August. I'm not sure what is more scary - the fact I actually talked to my books or that I stood on tippy-toe to look at how far back the boxes went into the closet. I had no idea I had that many books!

I hope you had a great Canada Day! We went to the surprise 60th birthday and watched kids play for hours. It was a nice change of pace and it was great to see my cousin be a wonderful parent.

Suisan - I preventing you from murder? I thought you were keeping me sane!? We might have to rethink this. Poor Bob got a glimpse of C-Rex at Home Depot tonight - PMS and forgot the anxiety med combo - that bitch'll take him out!

Kristie - YEARS!! Okay, I will stop whining now ;)
