Welcome to the land of the underwhelmed.

Decorator made it, she moved furniture, I moved it again, and that was that - no extra bits no pillows no nothing. Disappointed? Yes. More concerned about the fight that was and did occur when Bubba got home? You betcha. Let me quote, "what did we pay her for? You paid how much for this? I could have done this we waited for her why?" And on and on and on... thank goodness for the hockey game - it's like Shelby with a cookie - he was easily distracted and thus ended the argument.

In the end I paid for someone to point me in a direction, get me pretty new custom made curtains, select a paint color and we're done. I'll put the room back together and as Bubba is gone next week I will deal with some things next week when he's gone and all will be well.

And at this stage of the game - my vacation is in two weeks, work is starting to look busy next week, so I need to get things done this weekend and then bless it done. And the next time my Bubba mentions the cost or the lack of whatever decorator thing... I pulling his kyptonite... his mother. I will call Mama Bubba and tell her to get her boy off my fanny. Better yet find out what drug she slips Daddy Bubba that he never says a word when she spends it by the bucketful... and yet there is no yelling, screaming or relentless whining via cell phone.

Hey its new its different - the dogs are all confused as the furniture has been moved, (that was fun yesterday) and Aunt Ing is happy. Even though Uncle Bubba has managed to suck the very life out of the fun of all of this....

New plan! My vacation - I am so taking mama's advice not only will I be on a floating vessel I will BE the floating vessel... why yes I'd love a drink before dinner - yes, a bottle of wine with dinner would be wonderful (oh did you want some? Order another bottle this one is mine) , Oh we must have a cocktail to celebrate our leaving port, getting up in the morning, sailing into port, tying my shoes, getting them on the right feet... (which might be a challenge later in the week)... you get the idea. That should send Bubba right into pop-off-ville :-D Yeah I can be a stinker when I want to be... hick

So the weekend is full of fun and frolic ... up early for the pancake breakfast (eating not cooking) a ladies group yard sale, then tree trimming at home, then thankfully it's a hockey night in Germantown... so I can probably talk Bubba into take out then .......... bliss............ Bubba on the West Coast....yep I'm a total stinker. hee hee hee

We'll chat this weekend so Mama don't worry...
