Allison Horner said...

Looking forward to your WWC!

This sounds painful. Very, very painful. I do not envy you!

Real Live Lesbian said...

Ugh...I'm tired just reading about it!

Oh, I need your mailing address to send out your little prize!

dang . . . I could never do that. I am so not homey like that.

Em

PS Don't hurt your neck!

Yeah, just thinking about doing all those things wears me out.

Actually I enjoy painting for some reason. It's just not all that bad. And every garage has to look good, that's just like the law or something.

The rest of ... way too much effort. LOL ;-)

Whoa! If you guys are doing all of the above... how on earth do you find the time to blog???

I work, work-out, blog, eat a little, and sleep even less. That's all I've got time to do... :)

Yeah... there are the regular chores, such as dishes, vacuuming, laundry... you know - life.

One more reason I love renting. I know I'm a fool.

(not really, I don't have to do any of that stuff!!)

It will be worth all the sweat and tears, I promise.

How about "None of the above"?

Honey- you're way cooler than I am.
PS I tagged you for a meme!

Tink said...

Alright. Alright. I'll get out my violin.

Alli: I'm exhausted I am so busy. I had planned to play WWC too. It was all laid out and I can't get to my normal CPU. I'm on my Mac right now and it won't allow me to do to Blogger what I wants. . . d'oh.

Mindy: It is painful. Thank you, I'm glad someone feels my pain.

rllesbian: I don't think it's fair that I send you my address, 'cos I never really played seeing as I didn't understand what it was I was supposed to do? No? I don't know, paint fumes are all up in me brain . . .

Em: I can't believe it! ***jinx*** I did hurt my neck. But the other side. I was supposed to be laid out today - even cancelled my gym workout - but I have too much to do to sit still. Ibuprofin is my hero.

Jay: my brain hurts too. The husband spent hours and hours power washing. He loved it at first -power tool(!) - but after being soaking wet for a huge amount of time, he is a fan no more!

r.e.h.: my plate is rather full, now that you mention it. And, my blogging duties have seriously fallen ill. Apparently, I'm not Wonder Woman - I couldn't even get into her outfit if I wanted to. Pffft. Stoopid super heros. . . .

Butterfly Girl: I keep trying to tell myself this, "it'll be worth it in the end . . . think of the satisfaction. . . " Of course, this is before I pulled my hair out.

Rock Chef: You are a God. ***I wish***

Princess: You're just as sweet! I promise I will do my meme (I have some payback out there, be afraid Alli, be very afraid . . . .) as soon as I get a chance to sit for any period of time. Hell, just as soon as I have chairs and couch again (they are under drop cloths - another thing I'm sure you'd be allowed to touch). But I will do it! Promise.

Tink: you got me there. I mean, at least I don't have termites eating our house, right?

Tink said...

Thanks for reminding me! ;P
