Yesterday, we painted all day and ended up getting more paint on ourselves than what was it was intended to go on the project
Really. Every place I looked on the three windows and the door on our deck there were places I missed. Today I will go over it again. And what I missed on the frames I didn't miss on my body. I had specks of white paint all over me.
Once, unknowingly, I dipped by watch in the paint. If the time frame was right the 3 Stooges could come and take notes on how to make a farce out of something like paintings.
Anna did better on the front door. But she was painting a darker color onto a lighter color primer, so it was easy for her to see what she missed.
She had to go back to Home Depot twice because we under-bought waht we needed. And it had to be her to go, only she could flash her military I.D. card, like a F.B.I. agent to get that 10% Memorial Day discount - my DD 214 is locked away in a safety deposit box.
Afterwards I cooked chicken thighs on the grill. This time out of pure laziness I did not cut off the skin - and all that melted fat dripping off the skin caused the flames to jump high licking at the meat. It gave the meat a tasty flavor that we have forgot about: charcoal fried fat.
Which now they say, is a cancer causer. Well, I could have skipped eating and smoked a pack of cigarettes.
Then we watched a movie I taped a week or so ago and haven't got around to it yet, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." Which was pretty good. I cried off an on all the way through it. It is good that Anna fell asleep -my image was protected.
I'm a sucker for chick flicks.
Whats memorial day without the grill?
ReplyDeleteThat's right!
ReplyDeleteI had a great dinner, but sure would have traded ham for BBQ anyday......
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen my greasy face with bbq sauce oozing out of the corners of my mouth.
