Going Underground

Well~ I am sorry to disappoint you

AGAIN

because this is not a post about~

You'll have to wait another day for that.

Instead-I am going to show you

what I like to call

Hell-In-The-Basement.

MyHero has been promising

to clean out the "supply"

(and I use that term loosely)

closet since we moved in uh...

that would be 4 years ago now.

Uh.huh.

Now I'm not saying he never intended to

clean it out but he is kind of

sneaky.

He knows that eventually I get

sick and tired of waiting to

get something done

and do it myself.

But I played the game..

Just like always..

and...I waited..

and hinted..

and waited..

and asked outright..

and it still looked like this..and this...and this...Finally...I couldn't stand it for

ONE MORE DAY

(do ya ever get that-when you ask to get something done?)

I'll do it tomorrow.

What's that old song?

Tomorrow Never Comes

Uh-huh..

That's what happens at my house.

So..today..being as it was rainy..

and a bit dreary..

and then foggy..

I put on my old clothes

and dug into the mess..

Now..I'm not saying this is perfect,

mind you,

but I am saying I now realize that I have

at least 6 cans of KILZ..

Thank you Lord!

And I can see the shelves...And I have stripper...

No! I didn't say

I had A stripper..

I mean the kind you use

on wood..THAT kinda stripper.

Now my friend, Roger...

He might have a stripper at his house.

Never mind..

Connie would put the kabosh on THAT

Where was I?

oh yes...I have Paint..

Did I mention I have Paint?

Gallons and gallons

and semi-gallons

of Paint?

See?I also now have drop cloths

all neatly folded and set to go..And last..but not least..

I have..

Ready?

I have

DULLING SPRAY.

Whatever in the world did I intend to do

with dulling spray?

Maybe MyHero bought it planning to

spray it on me..

just to take the edge off my humor..

Not sure..

Hmmm...

MyHero got home a bit ago..

He heard me mumbling to myself

in the basement and made the

trek -down the steps.

Surprise!!!!

He said...Oh! Did you clean the paint room up

ALL BY YOURSELF?

No I had a pocket mouse that I carry around

with me that jumps out and does all

my dirty work

Looks pretty good!

I asked him if he would carry all the empty

boxes upstairs.

He said...Yes! I'll carry them up,,,

Ready?

Tomorrow!

I carried them up myself..

I don't want them to

be here come Christmas.

ps...I love him anyway!
