This guy was drunk and decided to try and shoot a board he was standing on in bare feet with a nail gun. Not sure why. He shoot through one foot 3xs and the other foot once plus multiple misses. I leaned over and said, "he took the phrase WWJD the wrong way."

You MUST blog it. <br /><br />When Charlie was last out of the country, I shanghaied my son to help me move a 9ft-tall IKEA armoire across a bedroom. We dragged it. Did I mention it was IKEA? Yeah, we pretty much destroyed the bottom supports.<br /><br />Kat - My problem is that I don't even ask my hub. I keep my crazy plans to myself because I know he'll just try to talk me out of them. He hides all tree pruning equipment because I REALLY like to prune. Supposedly, it's because he wants the plants to live.

It was sort of like the scene where the 2 guys were trying to get an ATM machine down a flight of stairs.)<br /><br />You would think that our hubs would realize by now that when we say, "Would you please move such and such?", what we're really saying is, "If you don't move this thing in next 12-24 hours, I'm gonna do it by myself, and my sheetrocking skillz aren't the best.

We're twins seperated at birth. T...That's it Kat. We're twins seperated at birth. The coincidences that are rapidly piling up are just too uncanny for it to be anything but shared DNA. Here's yet another similarity in our lives:<br /><br />Years ago, I get the itch to transform bedroom # 3 from office to playroom for our only daughter (at the time). I tackled the project all by myself while hubs was at work. I was moving a large and sassy recliner out of that room, got it halfway down the hall and got it stuck. It wouldn't come out of the hall, it wouldn't go back into the office. What was keeping it from moving were the legs of this chair. I have this issue with inanimate objects sassing me, so I went out to the garage, got the hubs jig saw, and sheared those legs smooth off the chair. I felt vindicated. Until the hubs came home. He saw the new playroom (loved it!) and saw that I'd moved the chair to a different locale (that would be the garage). Then he noticed the legs gone (oops!) and politely asked for an explanation. I told him about the disagreement the chair and I had, and how I was victorious. That is when the hubs pointed out that the legs of the chair pop right off with a few turns of a screw...<br /><br />I still haven't lived that down. And he hides all his power tools now too...Marnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917254303905983572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-25677103818752915502009-04-17T08:36:00.000-05:002009-04-17T08:36:00.000-05:00Sherr - The creative spirit cannot be enslaved by ...Sherr - The creative spirit cannot be enslaved by the oppressive chains of reason and logical thinking.<br /><br />Annie - did you ever fix the shoe holes in your closet?<br /><br />I'm going to have to post pictures of my studio.
