I’m starting to feel like the garage construction will never be finished. It’s turned into some perverted version of The Winchester Mystery House. Except her construction went on 24 hours a day 7 days a week for years and years to keep the ghosts at bay. We aren’t being bothered by ghosts OR construction crews. We just sit woefully quiet most days.
It mocks me.
Maybe I’ll set up a chalupa truck in the front yard next to the Port-A-Potty to lure my drywall crew back…
I’m also up to here hand at neck in the final stages of the Girl Scout Camporee that I an in charge of. If there’s anything more restful and serene than 325 Buckhead Girl Scouts alone at a mountain lake then I would like to know what it is.
I think we’ll be ok up there as long as it doesn’t rain. If it rains they could get bored. If they get bored they could turn. If they turn it’ll be a coup and I’m retreating to the lake and paddling away.
And soccer has started. Parker is pretty darn cute playing soccer. That’s her in the middle, covered in mud taking the ball back. Or tripping that other player. It’s a similar move tactically speaking.
So that’s what I’ve been up to. Busy busy busy. And now I’ve gotta run, those chalupas aren’t going to make themselves and I have a garage to get sheetrocked.
Hey- Our flood construction starts Monday…hope it goes better than yours is going! I tried to call the contact you gave me, but twice he promised to come the next day and then never showed up or called. I concluded that he's not the type of person I want to trust in my house for a few weeks while I'm away at work.
Hope y'all have a good weekend!
The chalupas might work. And I think it's great to see kids play soccer. When we lived in New England, I used togo watch my grandkidsplay whenever I could. Good luck with the Girl Scouts. All I have to say is you're brave.
I'd help put some sheetrock up if it meant free chalupas. Of course, you'd have to fly me down there first. And, to be honest, I'm not very "handy".
How's that for a sell?
Maybe leave a trail of chalupas leading back to your garage to lure them back sneaky-style, like who the eff was that with the breadcrumbs? The gingerbread man? The Pied Piper of Hamlin? No, that was rats. Don't leave a trail of rats, unless of course you're creating some kind of elaborate Mafia-style threat, in which case a trail of dead rats would definitely get your message across.
Wait, maybe the rats was St. Patrick. Or was that a trail of potatoes?
Hansel and Gretel!! Got it. Phew.
Camping? Not so much. Unless there was all you can eat girl scout cookies. That might lure me out of my den. Or a chalupa truck. Either way. Food.
Red card!
They're (supposedly) coming back to re-roof our garage next week.
Hoping you have a better outcome….
it's only tripping if they actually fall down and cry.
that my friend? a block, straight and clean.
also: remember whose idea this whole garage thing was? yeah you do.
also: i made tacos tonight.
Will you have a garage warming when it's finally done? Perhaps the neighborhood committee will put it on the annual house tour.I just love how your garage construction seems to be more involved some some new home building projects. Maybe not so funny for you though… Good luck with the chalupas.
I can't do anything about the garage, but I'd be happy to do camporee .. my troop likes to camp, but doesn't like the planning.. and at the cadette level, they need to do the planning
How about 325 boy scouts.
WOW she looks really good at soccer! You might have a female version of Beckham on your hands.
