Here’s what I hate…
• auto correct cause hey sometimes the word was meant to be misspelled or maybe I needed to do all lowercase.
• People who yell at me when it’s not my damn fault. No I can’t read you mind soooooo nope I didn’t realize how important it was
• People who hold grudges or stay angry. Life is too short and if you all your energy to go into being mad at me then hey… do you
• Stupid people ACTUALLY what I hate is the fact that I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but when you prove to me over and over and OVER that your brains are full of straw then please stop wasting my time by talking to me
• Drama for no reason. Yes drama does have its time and place, but all the freaking time?!?! NO Too exhausting
Here’s what I love...
• My cat waiting pawing for my attention at the window when I walk up to my house and then ignoring me when I actually open up the door
• The color purple, because I am NOT tryna piss God off!!! There is this median I pass that has about 3 different purple flowers and it just so BEA-U-TI-FUL!!!
• The fact that I still only have about 5 faithful followers LOL
• I need a 4th thing to even it out, but off the cuff I can’t think of one. I could just keep typing. I mean my blog, my rules. So this bullet would just not really be just a quick note of reference but rather an actual blog… OH WAIT I GOT ONE!!
• That it is spring. Cool on some days warm/hot on others. But I love this time of year
• That I can admit that I’m a QVC junkie… YES I did buy TSV (that would be today’s special value:) last Saturday AND I did easy pay and I’ll do it again dammit!! And I look pretty cute today with my Mally make-up!!

I'm IN!!!
ok maybe for a minute cause my new job has a helluva firewall... but y'all know me, I always know a way around. Random Chick WILL be heard.
**loud sigh**
Not too sure what I have to say. It's been so bottled up. I just be thinking my random thoughts and then go on about my biz.
I have a good handle on my 50elven jobs. AND (drum roll please) I actually am liking both of my jobs. It has been a minute a long LONG minute since I have just LIKED my job. I was even telling the little girl here (alright ok... she is a grown ass woman, but some of her decisions make me think of a little girl) that even when I was making the big bucks, I just wasn't happy. I think it is easy to say do what you love and find your true passion in life when, mortgage/rent, BGE, Verizon, cable and whatever else bills you got aren't breathing down your neck. Mental note... call Verszon so they don't turn ya shit off!! Like I think it's easy for Oprah to say do only what you love, she's a freaking BILLIONAIRE so... you know easy. Although, and I can't be 100% sure, but I think she did find her passion early in life and knew what to do with it early on. So folks are still just searching and have an uneasyness all their life. There is this song by N'Dambi called 'Imatator' now it's about a couple who they just got comfortable with the status quo but I think most people just get comfortable with mediocrity, being average, or not pursuing their dream because its easy to be comfortable. And the woamn wants out!! "You're so comfortable with the stop we made/to happy now/ with your/ sun in the shade! I hope you find that one thing ONE thing/ that makes you happy/ cause it can't be me!" Now normally I would post a lil link, but I have every expectation that I'ma be shut down any minute now LOL
In general right now I have such a peace of mind! And to be honest NO ONE can bring me down. I don't have time or the drama and 1 of the women (the lead tweedle... short for tweedle dumb) is so dramatic for no good damn reason. I just looked at her yesterday and thought how sad she truly must be. And all I can do is pray for her cause I will not be brought down by her foolishness. ACTUALLY at the other job there is this other dude who I think just needs a hug, he seems so miserable all the time. His efforts to 'tell me off' were thwarted when I kinda started laughing at him. But again folks hold on to sooo much stuff and instead of letting go and healing, they hold onto whatever IT is and allow cancers to grow.
So that's it on the 'job' front. There is no 'love life' to speak of but I am accepting applications. I am getting to old to be the 'jump off' LMBAO. And Baltimore is so small sharing is inevitable. I need to head to Philly or Jersey or somewhere that is NOT here to find my prince charming.
The house is doing well. As much as I don't want to sound racist, I really do need to go to one of them spots and hire a few hispanics to do some yard work and work around the house. But I'm too scared. Yet another reason why I need a renta-husband or something like that.
It is show-ya-toes season and if you are rocking some ugly toes don't be offended if I throw up on your feet!!!
OKAY that should do it for now!

general random **SPRING EDITION**
My new most favorite Oprah quote is ‘that is the most craziest ass thing’!!! She said it on one of those behind the scene shows and it is just so funny to me cause soooo many thing are the craziest ass things. Like for instance, how do you sign a contract and NOT read it and then when it comes back you’re like OH WAIT THAT WAS WRONG!!! Or I keep wearing these pants that have no button and are slightly high watery… yet I keep wearing them like they are brand new!! See CRAZIEST ASS THING!!
I have been having an attack of the pet peeves lately. For so long so many thing have just ceased to bother me as much as they used to but these little suckers are rearing their ugly head. Like the whole fax and printer thing… No I actually didn’t ask you to get those papers for me SO LEAVE THEM THERE!! They aren’t bothering you and yes I DO have a system so WTF are you bothering them?!?!? Yeah I know it’s petty, I’ll own that but it just bugs me soooooooo much. And let me finish asking my question so you can answer what I ask you instead of assuming what you think I’m about to say. It’s called active listening folks, it’s only gonna take me 5 more seconds and I need for you to digest what I say AND THEN provide a good answer for me. There are really only a few folks that know me well enough to know what I’m thinking or about to say AND you aint one of them so just be patient and listen to the damn question. Colored paperclips are just dumb! We are adults and they just feel so middle school… like EEWW look what I got to match my trapper keeper (LMBAO). Just give me a regular smooth silver paperclips that actually CLIP what I need clipping. Along the lines of dumbness… I just don’t get the whole Keurig craze. Ok yeah I get it… you can make one cup of coffee or tea or hot chocolate, but I still think it’s dumb and I am mad there is a whole wall dedicated to k-cups at the Bed Bath and Beyond. A pack of gum or mints can be your best friend. Bad breath is just wrong on so many levels and people should take care not to be in that situation. And should you feel the need to get right up in my face, make sure your shit is right!! I mean DAMN!!!!
I know for sure… oh ok another Oprah-ism… What I know for sure is that everything that happened in my life has shaped me and molded me in ways that I am just now realizing the impact. It would have been nice to know at age 17 when I went to college what the hell I wanted to do, but I didn’t. Now I’m not saying my degree is worthless I have used it in many capacities. But I sometimes wish I knew I wanted to be a doctor specializing in rare diseases, or a 10th grade Art teacher, or you know just something specific. But I think my flailings have taught me a lot. One of the more important lessons Ive learned is I need to feel useful. It is when I start my downward decent when I feel like no one needs me or wants my opinion or knowledge which explains why I been err… ‘downsized’ a few times and/or chose to leave some other places. It just creates stress in my life to not be of valuable. And I know that’s not important to some. But I now know it is to me!

general random 073...
ok so it's been a minute and we all know I have some much to just LET OUT!! And don't feel bad if you can't keep up. It's OK it's all random.
so here goes...
If what you have on looks like something you would wear to the club, then it is probably not a good idea to wear to church. Now don't get me wrong the Lord wants you to come as you are. But I am still of the very old fashion mindset that you give the Lord your best! Not that tight outfit that you have to constantly pull down; and in the case of men, pants you gotta pull up.
I really don't have a problem with weaves per se, but if you gonna rock it ROCK IT!! And if you can't afford the upkeep then go get a wig or something. It was the same woman at church who had some bad weave in her hair AND some extensions in the baby (little girl had to be about 3 or 4) in like every other braid... it was just bad and I wanted to just say NO!!!
I am officially the last person to see Titanic. AND OMG WHAT A GOOD MOVIE!! I mean I heard all the comedians at the time it came out say yeah it's 3 hours long and you know the outcome, yadda yadda yadda. And I really never wanted to carve out 3 hours of my life to watch it. But for some recent restless night I started watching it and then my trusty DVR did the rest. It was on like TBS or TNT one of those stations. What is always so fascinating to me is that people have been having sex, and falling in love, and having their heart broken, FOREVER. Just cause she's a little old lady does not mean she didn't get her swerve on back in the day. There was this segment on the news where some random woman had passed away and the son was saying how all his mother did was take care of him and she didn't date or anything. And I thought THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!!! She might not have let you see it, and she very well may not have done anything, but I certainly think parents (especially mothers) have a way of making you think the only 1 time they ever had sex was when they had you. And if you have sibling then add that amount of times and that's it. I still cant figure out why the little old lady threw the necklace overboard though.
OH I also just saw Social Network, about the dude(s) who started Facebook. I was really feeling inadequate as a human being to know that this guy had this thought and created this THING that is now a global phenomenon. I mean I don't even know anyone who even goes on Myspace anymore and I never even heard of the other social network they were talking about. But I do know everyone and thing has a Facebook page AND a twitter page. I keep trying to understand the twitter, and I joined but I just can't figure it out so I just leave it alone. What it also makes me think is that we are just to reliant on the internet, and just too connected. My touch screen phone stopped allowing me to touch it and just froze one day so I had to go to the Verizon store (which was a bad customer service experience yet again) to get a new phone. The little dude with the swoopy hair tried to convince me to just get the phone online. Which not that I needed it right away, but then I would still have to come to the store again to transfer my numbers and I just did not feel like havin to do that. So I just bought the phone and am now STILL waiting for my 50 buck rebate. wait what was my point? OH YEAH my point is that I just wanted a phone to call and text and maybe take a picture. I don't need to check email, tweet, or even write my blog, I just wanted a phone to use as a PHONE!! I understand and can appreciate the convenience of all those extras, but I just don't want to be that plugged in. Everyone is going out to get an iPhone or iPad or a 4G phone and I think all this technology makes it that much harder for people to communicate in person. OH and if you are under... well I used to say 16, but now I'll say 13 or 14 because times, they are a changing; ok so if you are under 13 WHY does you little ass need a phone?!?! And then I see kids walking around texting each other and I want to say put those damn phones away and TALK to each other!!! That's my 2 cents on an already tense subject.
I abhor bad customer service ABHOR IT!! So today I am in Pier One. There are 3 cashiers standing there and the 1 helping the lady ahead of me goes to get something for the lady. So I say 'is this the only cash register open?' and the lady says 'oh I'm sorry she had to go get something for me.' So I say 'oh you're fine, don't worry about it'. Now the 1 cashier was taping up some big glass object but the other 1 was doing random shit behind the counter and they both look at me like I am clearly speaking a regional dialect of some crazy language. So the cashier finishes up and then proceeds to ignore me, so the dude cashier is like 'OH I can help you!' And then I say 'so I guess when I asked the question you didn't hear me?' and then he is like 'oohh uuhh uhhh' I'm like WHATEVER just ring it up. Now I know you're thinking I must have been getting something major to be this annoyed?!?! WELL it was!! I finally found a funnel small enough so I can fill up my flask and it was a whooping 50 cents (LMBAO) yeah I know. I KNOW!! So he rings up my purchase (which come to a whooping 53 cents) and then had the gall to ask if I wanted a bag; HELL YES I WANT A BAG!!! If I was a scrupless person I would stuck that thing in my pocket and kept it moving, but I have a conscience and going to jail for me has to be worth it; 53 cents aint worth it.
I gave blood on Saturday and am feeling some kinda way about looking up the lil dude who took my blood on Facebook. First of all I KNEW he was young, but he was 'nephew young' and I just can't go there, but he did smell good!! But what's bad is he looked like a guy I dated which probably why I thought he was cute and it's also a reason I kept looking at this other guy at church who is SO very married and that is so NOT my thing. I'm not sure what the moral of this story is : /
Stink bugs do stink and I am NOT looking forward to a season of those SOB's invading my house.
I'm really glad my cat decided to like the different version of Meow Mix that I recently bought her. She is now eating it like it is the most delicious thing in the world. I think after our talk... that is me telling her she needs to go ahead and like the damn food cause mommy can't afford no new food, she got the hint and got on board!
Someone needs to tell Oprah a few crest white strips are not a bad idea. Her teeth are looking a lil yellowy. When Winona Judd was on her show, her teeth were EXTRA white against her orange skin and bright fluorescent red hair. Speaking of which I need to go put my dose of strips on...
so here goes...

my life...
As a movie, a sitcom OR… wait for it a BOOK?!?!? For some reason a movie just seems to short. I sat through that whole Eat Pray Love fiasco with Julia Roberts, and as much as I like her and as much as I like the book, the movie was just BAD! I don’t think my life such that it is can be wrapped up into just an 1 ½ hours or 2 hours WITH the sex scenes LOL I mean you know not that there would be any sex scenes cause I guess I want my mother to read it… but hey she had to have sex to have me and here I go digressing… NO MOVIE
A sitcom would be good but I don’t want to be relegated to TBS with Tyler Perry or whatever station the Ice Cube show is on cause I NEVER know when it’s on. I would want it to be on one of the networks; hell I’d settle for Fox which isn’t that the station all the black shows used to be on?!!? No wait I’m thinking the now defunct UPN which combined with the now defunct WB to form the CW which isn’t that the station with all the vampire shows?? Let me google right quick… OK my computer is acting a lil funky with the streaming but they got Hellcats which I think is about cheerleading and college and then 90210 with the lil cutie from the Wire and that would be about it for the Black experience. This would be on the CW. And as much as I am racking my brain right now MOST of the shows I watch on the regular (ie DVR) have maybe 2 black folks on it. Even Shonda Rhimes (who by the way thanks to Wikipedia I now know we share the same birthday… she is a lil older than me but hey Capricorns are a creative type) creator extraordinaire of Grey’s Anatomy the main characters are not the black folks… they are the supporting people. And this is not really about black vs white, but then it kinda is. I miss Martin, and Different World, and Living Single where **gasp** the WHOLE cast was black. Even on Glee the lil guy they had dancing in the background is no longer there. I just got Mercedes who I really do think has a better voice than Rachel; but then Rachel has the ‘Broadway’ voice so that’s why I guess she keeps getting the praise she does. I mean was I the only one who thought her rendition of America the Beautiful was bad at the Superbowl?!! I mean unlike Christina AGulerra (LOL) she did at least get the words right.
I just got hella sidetracked on the article on Shonda Rhimes. She says she doesn’t write race… I however want a BLACK show for me about me dot dot dot… LOL
As for a book, well I always think I am going to start my great American novel any day now. And to be fair my little blog that could is a slight glimpse into what my book would be like… Comedy, drama… and a lil sex!!! I seem to be preoccupied with sex today SURELY not because I got some... but I am hopeful, wishful, prayerful (yes LBJ know I’m not a virgin) that it will enter my life again, and soon!! OH and on that note, I bartended last night for a wedding rehearsal and the only black friend they had was a cutie on duty; but he was ALSO the minister!!! All he drank was sprite!! He had all his wits about him so I couldn’t muscle my way to his room, wherever that may have been. OH and he was 25 which although I have no problem with the young ones, the fact that my oldest nephew is 22 just makes 25 seem soooooo freaking young. The wedding party kept talking about the semester they did this or that, and finally I was like DID you guys just graduate from college? And yep they did from Ole Miss which you would think would have an abundance of black folks at the school, but somehow the only managed to make 1 black friend LMBAO whew…
I have so much work experience that the sheer hilarity from each place I’ve been could sustain my show and my book. I almost feel like Scott Adams… who I just googled and got side tracked. Hey it really doesn’t take much!! But the basic premise of Dilbert is that Scott used to work as a technical something or other in a cubicle and that was the life he knew so he wrote about it… err comic stripped about it. For me it could start when I interned at that country radio station in Richmond and all the sales people who just happened to all be women would drop the F bomb like they were saying hello and I would sit there in the meetings thinking ‘They do know I’m in the room right???’ And then when the country stars would pass through they would have food and not want to share with the marketing people which was kinda what I was but since I was the lowly intern and they liked me, I always got first pickings. Maybe they thought I was a poor college student which I WAS!! Trying to get to Richmond in that little ass orange chevette that I loved!! Gas was about $1.25 back then : / ok now YOU know I just goggled that shit and it said the average was $1.07 ONE DOLLAR AND SEVEN FREAKING CENTS!!! My how times have changed.
So what I think I’m gonna do I start on my book, to be later developed into a sitcom which both of which will be semi autobiographical. I’m gonna take the good, take the bad, take them both and then I’ll have The facts (or some quasi-pseudo form) of MY life.
A sitcom would be good but I don’t want to be relegated to TBS with Tyler Perry or whatever station the Ice Cube show is on cause I NEVER know when it’s on. I would want it to be on one of the networks; hell I’d settle for Fox which isn’t that the station all the black shows used to be on?!!? No wait I’m thinking the now defunct UPN which combined with the now defunct WB to form the CW which isn’t that the station with all the vampire shows?? Let me google right quick… OK my computer is acting a lil funky with the streaming but they got Hellcats which I think is about cheerleading and college and then 90210 with the lil cutie from the Wire and that would be about it for the Black experience. This would be on the CW. And as much as I am racking my brain right now MOST of the shows I watch on the regular (ie DVR) have maybe 2 black folks on it. Even Shonda Rhimes (who by the way thanks to Wikipedia I now know we share the same birthday… she is a lil older than me but hey Capricorns are a creative type) creator extraordinaire of Grey’s Anatomy the main characters are not the black folks… they are the supporting people. And this is not really about black vs white, but then it kinda is. I miss Martin, and Different World, and Living Single where **gasp** the WHOLE cast was black. Even on Glee the lil guy they had dancing in the background is no longer there. I just got Mercedes who I really do think has a better voice than Rachel; but then Rachel has the ‘Broadway’ voice so that’s why I guess she keeps getting the praise she does. I mean was I the only one who thought her rendition of America the Beautiful was bad at the Superbowl?!! I mean unlike Christina AGulerra (LOL) she did at least get the words right.
I just got hella sidetracked on the article on Shonda Rhimes. She says she doesn’t write race… I however want a BLACK show for me about me dot dot dot… LOL
As for a book, well I always think I am going to start my great American novel any day now. And to be fair my little blog that could is a slight glimpse into what my book would be like… Comedy, drama… and a lil sex!!! I seem to be preoccupied with sex today SURELY not because I got some... but I am hopeful, wishful, prayerful (yes LBJ know I’m not a virgin) that it will enter my life again, and soon!! OH and on that note, I bartended last night for a wedding rehearsal and the only black friend they had was a cutie on duty; but he was ALSO the minister!!! All he drank was sprite!! He had all his wits about him so I couldn’t muscle my way to his room, wherever that may have been. OH and he was 25 which although I have no problem with the young ones, the fact that my oldest nephew is 22 just makes 25 seem soooooo freaking young. The wedding party kept talking about the semester they did this or that, and finally I was like DID you guys just graduate from college? And yep they did from Ole Miss which you would think would have an abundance of black folks at the school, but somehow the only managed to make 1 black friend LMBAO whew…
I have so much work experience that the sheer hilarity from each place I’ve been could sustain my show and my book. I almost feel like Scott Adams… who I just googled and got side tracked. Hey it really doesn’t take much!! But the basic premise of Dilbert is that Scott used to work as a technical something or other in a cubicle and that was the life he knew so he wrote about it… err comic stripped about it. For me it could start when I interned at that country radio station in Richmond and all the sales people who just happened to all be women would drop the F bomb like they were saying hello and I would sit there in the meetings thinking ‘They do know I’m in the room right???’ And then when the country stars would pass through they would have food and not want to share with the marketing people which was kinda what I was but since I was the lowly intern and they liked me, I always got first pickings. Maybe they thought I was a poor college student which I WAS!! Trying to get to Richmond in that little ass orange chevette that I loved!! Gas was about $1.25 back then : / ok now YOU know I just goggled that shit and it said the average was $1.07 ONE DOLLAR AND SEVEN FREAKING CENTS!!! My how times have changed.

beer and other general randomness...
i bought some honey brown last week and I keep attempting to drink it... but alls it does it makes me pee. And sleep is really important to me so drinking beer after 8 means I will be up the WHOLE night. So now it will probably be in my frig until the summer when its hot and I need a cold beer.
Valentines day is coming up and while it is a great holiday to spend with someone I am sooooooooooooooo just looking forward to watching Love Jones and drinking some bubbly. And that will be GREAT for me!! Last year... aahhhh... lets just say I coulda had a v8! Its not sad that Im not dating its sad that I havent met anyone to date. WHERE DA HELL ARE ALL THE MEN!?!?!? I used to know... but they seem to be like the Lochness monster.
actually thats all the randomness I have today LOL
...i really like the GE dancing elephant commercial... that is all

WTF?!?! (why the face?)
...i totally forgot i wrote this one last week...
LOL from the Modern Family dad who was pretty clueless about what WTF truly stood for and right now I really don’t mean it in a malicious way, but sometimes dropping a good old fashion F bomb is good for the soul!!
Them Houswives of the ATL variety
For the past I don’t know how many weeks I just shake my head at the antics that those women. Mostly I’m like REALLY did she just say that/do that _______ insert whatever in the blank. So here is my run down for the finale.
Phaedra – What professional woman do you know that wears 3 different shades of polish on her fingernails? She had gold rimmed RED shoes… who wears that to an office? AND all the glittery eye shadow… COME ON REALLY?!?!? Other than that bith her husband and baby are beautiful. Although a little discrepancy in the whole age thing. If she was in law school and he was in high school.. then it’s more than a 4 yr age gap. BUT I aint mad at her for being the semi-cougar that she is!! LOL She does seem to have her head screwed on right even though she says some pretty WAAAAAY out there stuff.
Kim – What was wrong with her old boobs?? No Kim as a matter of fact you can not sing NOR are you a good performer, but hey whatever. Even when Kroy met her that first time, he doesn’t appear all that bright, but then neither does she, so I guess they are a match.
Sheree – It must be nice to have money to throw around so that one day you’re a fashion designer and the next you’re an actress. I thought a passion was something you put your ALL into not just something you do on a whim. I don’t think she is all that great of an actress.
Cynthia – As much as I feel all warm and fuzzy about Peter, he just didn’t seem like he was all that concerned about keeping Cynthia in the loop of what was going on financially. And I don’t think Cynthia is a dumb woman but I think she made some dumb decisions. Did her daughter have on lashes?? She is already a cute little girl, but the key words here are LITTLE GIRL. Maybe it was just me and what I had thought I saw. That dress was different. I guess I am more of a traditionalist with wanting a white or off white… hell even a champagne colored dress. But I liked it. AND why was Kim hating on her for not having flowers. It seemed like a great event.
NeNe – I just don’t like her, but she was really more of a regular person when she was dealing with her son and her husband. I just don’t get how she feel she can say anything she wants but if anyone says something to her she’s ready to beat them down. Oh and that 2 tone hair is the WORST!! And I know that Diane person is her friend, but Bravo must not like her to much cause they didn’t let her say much of anything.
Kandi – the onliest thing I have to say about her is that horrible comb over purple hair she rocked the WHOLE season. Kim has that wig dude (more on him later). Sheree has Lawrence(more on him later too). I need for Kandi’s stylist to step up. She seems like she has good business sense I’m glad she didn’t let the whole tardy for the party thing get to her too much.
The gays – I am as gay friendly as they come… well you know without actually being gay NOT THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THAT!! LOL But these ATL men who wear heals and make-up; whew I can’t take it. I actually do like Lawrence. He is a GREAT singer and performer and I really hope his song does well. I can never remember kim’s wig stylist dude’s name, but he is a man trapped in a man’s body. There aint a thing feminine about him EXCEPT the heels and purses. But he works it. And then there is Dwight… **loud sigh** I just need a little verb tense agreement once in a while cause he can kill a word!! I was a little indifferent to him this season. I didn’t like the way NeNe was all up in his face but he really tried to not knock her ghetto butt out!!
The extra random folks – Sweetie - she has to be a special kinda somebody to put up with the general tom foolery that she has to. What was funny is when they went on the weeklong tour kim’s kids seemed more upset that Sweetie was leaving. In general though she always looks hoochiefied with the short shorts and extra black makeup. I do wonder how old she is. Andy Cohen who is not actually on the show but his reunion shows and watch what happens shows are always so funny. It’s almost like he expects them to say something that they otherwise wouldn’t. Like I think he expected Phaedra to fess up to her pregnancy… LIE. She lied and she stuck to her lie. Or maybe he thought NeNe was going to apologize for how she acts just ingeneral. OHHHH and he always asks if Kim is gonna take off her wig. He’s just so cute and keeps a straight face when he asks his questions.

Shit does not take a ½ hour or a day. Some projects take FOREVER and then you are in pain when you’re done. For some reason I always think I can just bust out a project in a day, by myself, without all the proper tools. I don’t know why, but something in me says HELL YEAH I CAN DO IT!! My most recent project was tiling my little powder room floor. I had the tile, thin set and grout, went to Lowes on 2 separate occasions and had a wet tile saw, and the bucket-o-stuff (like nipper and spacers) to help me finish. Now what I had not factored in was taking up the actual vinyl floor. I wish I knew the dimensions but trust me it’s small. I had started drinking my red wine and though I would take maybe MAYBE an hour. So 3 hours later I was still not done. My cat kept peaking in like ‘Hey what you doing in there?’ The next day the goal was to start laying the tile at 1 in the afternoon. But I don’t think I got out the bed until 11 and 1 came and went and I am still on the floor trying to take up this damn vinyl. At one point I went to get my iron to help melt whatever glue so it would come up easier. So long story short made even longer (LOL) all day Saturday and then it was finally done… well the taking up of the vinyl NOT the actual tile laying. So thank LBJ for a snow day so I was able to actually lay the tile. The onliest thing left is I still need a new toilet so I really only tiled about 93% of the bathroom. Yeah that’s a pretty big thing to need in a bathroom.
