I'm on vacation this week and it is day four of the staycation and I have so many things to do around the house that I am actually pining for those crazy hazy days at the 'Fern (the affectionate term me and my coworkers have dubbed my company).
On the agenda today - - rip out the upstairs hall and stairs carpet. Now, many of you will be impressed that the single woman who works and goes to school is also so handy around the house. Alas (yea, I said "Alas"), you would be wrong to be impressed. I am like the male species that starts a project and then doesn't finish it.
I guess is shouldn't say that men don't finish projects because I am a little bit of a feminist and I believe that we shouldn't put gendered labels on people and women are just as able to do the same things as men and who says that pulling up carpet is a man's job and a woman can't slap a guy on the butt....aw shoot, I've gone off topic. Tsk, tsk, just like a woman.... :)
Anyway, I was saying that you shouldn't be impressed with the fact that I am ripping up the carpet because it is a project that has been in motion for over 10 months. First, I pulled the carpet from my bedroom. Thought it would only take me a few hours and it took over 10 hours (the glee of uncovering hardwood floors wore off about hour 3) and after that room was done it was another three months before I tackled the guestroom. So now the impressive handyman that is me will get the hall and stairs done and when my friends and family come a-visiting I will boast and brag about how I rock and women rule!
Oh (again slightly off subject), why when people ask where you are going for vacation and you reply that you are staying home do they have that underlying pitying voice when they say "oh that's nice too"? Too funny.
Here's to Grandma!
