Barb we seem to be married to the same man, at least in this regard. Makes me think I need to buy me a toolbox.

Cooking is still relaxing even when exhausted.

I agree, at least it can be. Today is a case in point. I was beat, but got home and made kielbasea for the kids and a yummy couscous and lentil salad for Cody and me. Oh, and proper cocktails.

Oh KB, if I didn't say something earlier, let me say now how much I love your work. Terrific.

Speaking of being 12, I'm have been looking at television wall mounts, and I find myself snickering at things like "single-stud full motion mounts."

When I was a theater tech we were supposed to bring our own c-wrenches. One of the other women on the crew suggested I'd keep mine longer if I painted my name on it with as bright, glitzy pink a nail polish as I could find. So I did, and I still had it when I graduated. My hammer, which I also lent out on occasion, has my name on the handle in shiny gold letters.

My dad use to collect tools, plus he got a lot of them for presents. Then his father, who had a barn full of tools, died and left all of them to Dad. He fitted me out with a full toolbox when I moved into my first apartment and you couldn't even see a difference in his toolshed.

Good news from amid the crazy. Just got an email confirming a new project. Looks like I'll be spending more time in Orlando.

Lesson Learned Tonight:

What is the point of taking a shower *before* sex? Duh.

(In my defense, I was rank, since I had gone to the gym AND I was coming off of 2 days w/o a shower, thanks to the migraine from hell. I needed that shower. Though it was pointless.)

Steph, I feel that there is a place for such showers. It's just they are often followed up another shower afterwards.

You could just have sex IN the shower.

At least you are getting sex!!!

:: grumble grumble ::

Shower sex is good sex, just make sure you don't slip and injure yourself, that's an embarrassing call to the paramedics.
