So...doctor's appointment today. Have I mentioned lately that I loathe the doctor? If they stick me with one more needle....or try to scan one more body part....I am going to explode. So far, so good....even if I am the world's most disagreeable patient.
Then I went to Home Depot and bought some recessed lights for my front porch...since I have to redo the wood soffit....I may as well put in lights I can live with instead of those crazy motion detector thingies. I also bought a couple of books....about redoing and finishing hardwood floors....I have a beautiful hardwood floor under my crappy carpet in the living room....and about home improvements...so I can learn how to put in the recessed lights on my front porch.
I stop at the cash register to pay my bill...and this little bitty old man walks up....all stooped over...must have been at least 70...thin....frail....and he asks..."Are you really going to read those books?"
"Well yeah....I plan on it."
"Why?"
"Because I own my house and things need fixing in it and I need to learn how to fix them."
"Wow. I'm impressed. You really going to do that?"
"Yes...I really plan to do that."
"Well...if you ever get really good at it...you come back here and I'll marry you."
At this point I'm choking on laughter and trying to be serious. The cashier has her hand over her mouth but her eyes are dancing.
"Well now....splain something to me. If I ever get really good at fixing my house....why would I want to get married?"
"I'll explain that to you after we're married."
I have to admit....I turned beet red and he certainly laughed me out of the store. I'm never going to be nice to little old men again. When y'all get old....I'm going to just kick you in the shins and move on.....
Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

I pulled up some tacky carpet and redid my hardwood floor years ago. Now it needs refinished. So after you get done with yours...
And I'm pretty light on my feet. If ya try to kick me in the shins it'll look like we're dancing an Irish jig.
P.S. You'll love the sanding part.
Enjoy the ride. All you take with you when you leave is the experience.
