The song currently stuck in my head.....

I blame it on my husband.  We were in the car and I remarked how crazy (or crazier) people seemed to be driving and he launches into...

I don't care if it rains or freezes,
'long as I got my Plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car...

This leads me to believe that you really do have to worry about the people with the Jesus stickers on thier cars because they don't care what happens...they know they've been Saved.

With the wonders of the internet, I go look up the lyrics and got a really good laugh.  There are too many verses to copy here but I recommend reading some of them for a good laugh.  That and I'm sure there's been some poetic license taken, I was laughing.  Whats better than a good laugh to brighten someone's day....

This lead me to find a song I thought was a joke, but no, its real!  Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life.  Bobby Bare, you can find him on Youtube.  Now not nearly as funny as the above, there are people out there in football land that would take this to heart.

And, speaking of football land- I learned an interesting and useless fact today.  The Oklahoma Sooners...what's a Sooner I ask?  A sooner came about because those in Oklahoma jumped the gun and left the starting line early during the land rush and therefore got there "sooner"  and leading to thier deragatory nickname "dirt burglars".  This was also good for a laugh.  Now why does thier fight song only have two words? 


Enough running on for tonight...to be continued...

The Demolition

MMUUUUauauahahahahhaha.....Demolition.  Husband was out of town and my job?  Demolition.....

Off comes the backsplash...up comes the countertop...smash goes the ugly a** cabinet.  YES.  There is something to be said for contributing to the natural law of all things heading towards chaos.  Oh yea, and never you mind that little hole in the drywall.  It'll be behind the new cabinet. 

Then up comes the linoleum. Ugly ugly ugly.  Only 2 layers...thank you!  And thank you for the small multi tool for scraping up the superglued spots.  Anyone want to pull up lino...just call me.  The kitchen Lino is coming up next.

Next comes down the 40ish year old shower surround.  Well built and no match for the saws-all.  just remember, fiberglass and hot showers afterwords don't go well together.

And my last tip...Waste Management makes these dumpster bags that you can fill up and they'll come pick it up.  This is if you do not need an actual dumpster.

The Coat Closet

Oh my.  Thats all I have to say.  I still cannot believe we had that many coats crammed in that closet.  A pile 3 feet high and four feet long.  I was like, yea...get rid of this one, this one, that one...oh wait, we're moving somewhere it snows.  Dern.  Well, I must say the closet looks gooooood.  And...I was able to hang an organizer for small stuff like dog leashes and scarves, stuff like that.  I almost impress myself!

And then there comes a story....A few months back, we decided to plant a Japanese maple in our interior planter/atrium.  We dug a big hole, dropped in a nice specimen and admired our work.  Now this is back when we trusted our dogs and could leave them unattended in the house.  I get a picture on my phone and I cant tell what it is because of the mess.  I deemed it "The Day Fletcher Dug to China" or a new chapter in the that favorite book, The Diggingest Dog Part 2.  There was a 2 foot deep hole with the poor treat at a serious lean.  The mud and river rock was strewn, I kid you not, 10 feet in every direction.  There was mud 5 foot up on the wall.  Its a miracle he didn't shatter the glass door in back given the number of rocks.

So here it is April and I'm in cleaning mode, emptying out the closet and what the hell do I find?....dried mud.  In the closet, in the railing for the door, behind a couple boxes.  Oh, and a few rocks to go along with it.  And....the maple didn't survive.  D*#% dogs.  Needless to say, the boys are now in crates when we leave them in the house and the area now looks beautiful.  Is there such a thing as canine terrible twos?????
