Tattle Tale Tuesday

Mom told you how she took a bath Saturday night, because she was sore, right? Well, mom has a bubble jet tub. Mom can sit in it with her legs out straight and get covered all the way up to her neck. It is great. Then, when she hits the bubble button, she gets a massage.

Mom stayed in the tub for 1/2 hour, then asked PlusOne if he wanted to jump in. He did. After a while, mom looked up and saw that it had been over an hour, and she'd seen neither hide nor hair of PlusOne. Going upstairs, and thinking worried thoughts, mom pushed open the bathroom door to this!


Bubbles everywhere! The walls, the floor, PlusOne!

There is at least SIX inches of bubbles in this tub!











Mom had to drain the tub then hose down PlusOne, there were so many bubbles. He was laughing like a kid in... a bubble bath. Life is good!

Let There Be Light, And Sheet Rock

Mom said let there be light, and there was light!



After mom spent twenty minutes with Home Depot's Master Electrician Al, yesterday morning. Mom brought her switch problem to him, complete with diagram of the wiring. Al patiently, and kindly, explained what the matter was and drew his own diagram of what the wiring should be. And viola!


Light! Mom was so psyched. Then Mr. Karate came over and they put the last two sheets of sheet rock up. Here is Mr. Karate posing with the machine.

He had been teaching Karate since 10:30 in the morning, and it was now 3:00.


An hour and a half later (and one sandwich and huge glass of milk on Mr. Karate's part) and the sheet rock was done. Mom even mud and taped it. Then, sore and tired, mom took a bath, but that's a story for another day.

Just in case you forgot what I looked like. And, oh yeah, go check out Memere's blog. She is painting on silk and is part of a show with a portion of the sales going to the SPCA.

Working Saturday

See this? Tomorrow afternoon you won't be able to see it because mom and Mr. Karate are putting the last two sheets of sheet rock up. Yippie!


It means that then mom can get the rest of the paneling up and paint!

Here is the track lighting mom installed.


Here is the original light that mom put back together.

And here is the switch that will control them both. If mom can figure out the wiring of it. It is being difficult at the moment. But mom will figure it out. She always does.
