Marathon Day 2

First, just let me say...

building a house with your spouse

is risky business.

Very risky business.

I took this test

several years ago

and passed with 

flying colors.

Why , oh why

am I being asked

to take this test

again?

Today we are shopping again

for kitchen appliances

at the same stores where we spent all day

yesterday.

Then we are going to shop 

audio systems.

These items have to be decided on now

in order to proceed with the wiring 

that they will require.

Hubs has declared that we will do this 

again.

Tomorrow.

In the meantime

I am to study

the 1000 page catalogue

that we borrowed from the lighting store yesterday.

Oh and also check out the website

that the lighting ladies recommended

which boasts over

40,000 choices.

Just. Shoot. Me.

I know, I know,

I should not be complaining.

Shopping is fun, right?

I AM thankful, I really am.

I am blessed.

So blessed.

But.

My husband is very tired...

I am very tired.

We need some sunshine 

and some warm temps.

We need for stuff to stop breaking

at the rental houses.

We now have to rip up a house

because the tenant has complained

to the county about the mold problem.

This is going to be almost impossible

to address with people living there

and they are behind on the rent

to boot.

We will be selling this house

when it becomes empty,

not renting to these losers again.

Sorry, I digress.

Sometimes I just want to fast forward to

the Assisted Living Home

where someone will bring my food

on a tray 

and tuck me in at night

and 

let me read blogs all day.

But until that day,

I forge fearlessly

and cheerfully

and hopefully

into the fray.

Day 2 is about to begin.

If hubs doesn't stop and get me Coke

when I am dying of thirst 

and caffeine low,

You will hear the screaming

all the way from Joplin..

Im just sayin.

On a happy note,

Here is the buffet

we recently bought

at the Flea Market.

I have been watching out

for one that I could 

put in the entry hall.

I hope they didn't rip my head off

but we both felt like it was 

a good value.

Try to ignore the pink vases...

I didn't buy those!

Im not sure about the hardware,

but I don't have time to do anything about it right now...

It has some little 

wear signs here and there

and some chipped up places,

to proved that it has lived a good life

and been used well.

Like me, right?

Yep.

Now join me in

a little happy dance

because

It's Friday!

The next time I write 

there will be a lot of scratches 

on the BIG to-do list.

Amen.
