Back to work - everyone is back to work and they were all in front to me today... I miss August already.
Recap of yesterday - curtains are up, I no longer live in a fish bowl - I LOVE THEM. They look good, cool, very new and tasteful (if I do say so myself). Unfortunately the decorator showed up to watch the curtain guy put in the curtains, and then go home - so my room is still 1/2 done... and will remain so for another 12 days. So my happiness is tempered with the incomplete room... I need to go shopping and redo my bedroom while I wait... (giggle giggle).
While I watched a spider spin a web in the corner of my home office yesterday I was attentively listening to all 3 (yes 3) teleconferences my folks were busy, busy - they roasted, peeled, cleaned and stored all the roasted red peppers. Mom did laundry, Dad fixed my chair, and the face plates in my bedroom, and then threatened to remove my new switch and put the pull switch back in... I'm pretty sure he's kidding - I'll let you know when I get home. AND mom cooked dinner - can't beat that with a stick!
Certainly made my life much easier yesterday. It was a bit of pandemonium yesterday, the cleaning lady was in and not finished before the curtain guy showed up - but again happiness with new treatments... Until Bubba got home... he got home early due to some network issues at work; he walked in and how I wish I could draw for I don't think words can convey the frown-y face he made as he looked at the new curtains. Practice with me at home, make your face frown, wrinkle your forehead, then flash the message across your face "what the heck did I pay for?" and that almost gets the face I got when he got home...
And now my mood is a deflated balloon... but as my father reminded me 'guys don't get this stuff' - as long as you like it - it's fine. I love my Dad...
And now for a moment of yinzer talk --- "Avenge the Towel" this is all over the radio station I stream into my ears from my computer... remember boys and girls those icky Oilers - opps I mean Titians stomped all over our beloved Terrible Towel after we lost that game to them last year in frankly 'fantastic fashion'. (meaning they sucked worse than a 40 year old vacuum cleaner in a house full of shedding dogs)
NOW - tomorrow night with the world watching we are the Super Bowl Champions! You boys better play up and beat those pastel blue wearing pansies! Wave those towels you yinzers and shout the curse from the highest points in Western PA (or suburban DC) Yoi! And Double Yoi!
Go Steelers! /end yinzer moment/
