Will I ever learn Wednesday

It’s that time of week again where I get to tell the world just how ditzy I can be.

WILL I EVER LEARN…

How is it that when one room is being messed with, the whole house gets trashed?

About a year ago I got the hair brained idea that our 29+ year old out dated bathroom needed a facelift. The “facelift”, which began in earnest 2 or so weeks ago, included gutting the bathroom and fixing a sagging span of wall where a stained glass window goes. I’ll do a proper post on that when the job is done, but right now…

Everything has been removed from the walls surrounding the bathroom and the fireplace mantle so that the hammering doesn’t jar something loose.

Dry wall dust is everywhere…

There are tools in the hallway…

There is a hole in the wall where my beautiful stained glass window used to be… (and yes, it will be put back in there)

And, of course, my bathroom is a mess!

We tend to remodel a lot. So I know what it entails. Yet I keep thinking of things to change. Will I ever learn!

I was helping hubby put in a heavy beam across the span where you saw the hole in the previous picture. Now that experience is a post in itself. Oh my goodness! At one point during the whole ordeal the hot flashes flared. The kind of hot flash where my face was redder than a vine ripened tomato. So I scurried down the ladder and turned the thermostat down to 50 – even though the furnace wasn’t even on at the time. I don’t know why… but just doing that made me feel better.

Last night as I was curled up in my favorite recliner, remote in hand, watching television, waiting for hubby to get home... and I was freezing. So I curled up into a tighter ball than I already was and covered myself with the heaviest blanket I own (thank you Julie and Doug for the Christmas present). When hubby got home, I told him the temperature must really have dropped again because it sure was cold in our house. He calmly walked over to the thermostat, turned it back on, and just shook his head at me…

And here is one from my not too distant past. It comes straight from a Chevy Chase movie, or Three Stooges… and I fell for it.

I was drinking a cup of coffee while visiting with some co-workers. Three of us. Me and two guys. Guy one says, “What time is it?” The other guy grins and says, “I don’t know”. Deanna (me), always obliging, promptly twisted my wrist to look at my watch and poured my coffee out onto the floor. Yes it was planned by guy one and guy two and yes they howled with laughter! I’ll have to admit, I laughed pretty hard too.

It is still a blustery cold day today, but the sun is smiling down on me. So, I’m going to bundle myself up and head out to see what kind of mischief I can get into.

Stay safe out there!
