Blogless Tuesday Explained

MAN - It's 80 degrees in here today - INSIDE!!!!  We got a message "Opening building windows is frowned upon due to the tax it places on building HVAC systems"   DAMN!   Obama putting tax on heat now - Don't tell the Tea Partyers.  They will go bananas! 
 -------------------------------------
I had another mom day yesterday so that was why it was blogless Tuesday. If you ever see a blogless day it's probably due to a field trip to Fort Atkinson.Plus I have like 3 Furlough days AND 66 hours of vacation to use up before July 1st! 

Although having to be forcibly removed from the Columbus Development Authority meeting Monday might have been a good excuse to not having a blog. When I asked Boyd "In or Out" and he said a little to fast with a smile and that little evil glint in his eye "OUT" I realized I was not in the inner circle of trust.  That is fine - I have secrets too buddy!!! YEA - you WISH you would have said IN now don't you .  No? hmmmmmmmmm!  Me thinks he made the right decision because once the public see's the plans for the new Columbus Dome no one will get ANY work done.

In reality it's pretty exciting what they were planning under their cone of silence and SOONER OR LATER it'll all come out (did I hear "space port" when I had my ears pressed against the windows?).
-----------------------------------

OH - lesson learned - do not listen to Home Depot people.  When we were buying our 3 gallons of stain it was a Wednesday.  I asked the painter dude if we should get it shaken up, he said no because it would all settle by Saturday!

moron.  (him, not me)

We get home and it's like Sesame paste on the bottom.  I mix and mix and it's good enough.  But we run out and get ANOTHER gallon and this time they shake it.  WOW - what a difference.  It's a new color!    Now adubya says we should have used Paint Mitts on the spindles instead of a rag!  What hell are those?  Why didn't they tell us about these things!   grrrrrrrrrr

I felt the need for taking photos and after getting back yesterday and mowing the yard AND making beer and NOT golfing I took some photos of our neighbors house (they gave me permission).  They are stealing my flower thunder!!  

Actually THEIR flowers will go away about the time mine start blooming so it works pretty well.

They have done a fantastic job on their landscaping.  I had issues at first (rocks instead of mulch and Cat in the Hat trees) but their house looks WONDERFUL! 

 
An odd thing here. You know when you cook a Thanksgiving dinner and when you are done - blah - who wants to eat?  Well last night I was working on the above photo and when I was all finished - blah - who cares - not working.

So this morning I'm looking for a photo to put on the blog and - geez - that one is not too bad after all. Last night I was in the F*ck It mode and was about to delete it!  I guess the longer I work on something the less I like it LOL

The headline reads:

BIGGER BEN  - $100 GETS A MAKEOVER

MY GOD!!  IT'S SO BIG YOU CAN'T EVEN CARRY IT NOW!!   Where is the Tea Party on THAT one!!!



Better go - I gotta take off my shirt before it reaches 85 in here.    I'M WORKING IN MY UNDERWEAR!!!
