Good thing you didn't turn into a pumpkin. That would have been uncomfortable.

Well speaking of turning into a pumpkin - it's midnite here - so good night all

I've decided I want something 'exotic and interesting' for lunch. Anyone know where I could get some ideas ?

It might cost you an arm and a leg for anything exotic.

I have chicken pot pie for lunch.

mmmm...I love chicky pot pie.

Disclaimer - no lil chicky was hurt during the process of making this chicken pot pie.

You mean it was a chicken pot pie made with a rubber chicken?

What did you eat Gophie ?

I hope that the rubber chicken wasn't made by Mattel.

Fricken fracken.

I'm drinking dinner tonight (red wine) as I'm seriously pissed off.
Been trying to hang a curtain.
Should be a 10minute job to hang a curtain rod, right?
Apparently it's a 2hr job if you're mechanically dislinclined.

Cordless drill ran out of juice.
Couldn't find the charger.
Needed to find corded drill.
Needed to find extension cord.
Kept forgetting that corded drill does not have keyless chuck. "lost" the drill bit a few times.
Found the key.
Tightened the chuck.
Drilled some holes.
Apparently holes weren't big enough.
Mashed 2 of the drywall anchors that came with the curtain rod kit (hole too small).
Realized that I did not drill holes in the right spots.
Started again with another 4 holes in the wall.
Dug around for more anchors in the tool box.
Found 2 drywall anchors (of unknown size).
Lost one of the anchors and walked in circles looking for it.

Finally hung the damn brackets.
Could not get the anchors and screws flush with the wall, no matter what I did...but the damn thing is hanging up.

And then the kicker....
The curtain rod was 9" TOO SHORT.

Damn it all to hell.

Used a long bamboo stick as a curtain rod.
Hung up the curtain.

Curtain still needs to be cut and hemmed.
Now need to fill holes in the wall and re-paint.

It's a good thing you are a handsome woman - cause you're not all that handy (with tools ... that is)

refering of course to Red Green (If they don't find you hansdome at least let them find you handy)
I'll be home in a few days ... I'm happy to deal with the curtain then

Poor you Lil Me !!!!!! It's seems to be one of those jobs, that if it doesn't work in 10 minutes.....it'll take 3 hours. I feel your pain and frustration. I used to do draperies for a living....so I've had a few installations like that myself.

Just to show my support.....I'll have a glass of wine with you.
