Forget Steak n’ Shake, I’ve heard the place to go is Skyline.

Sounds like you’re having fun. There’s nothing better than a sleepover with glitter, fur, and glue, oh, and a side trip to Steak and Shake.

Since you said Hobby Lobby I knew the guest wasn’t Bob. Just imagine dragging him into that place! Cackle. Cackle.

Maybe the universe is trying to tell you that you’re just not supposed to have an attic bedroom?

Mm, I miss Steak and Shake. We used to go to one in college all the time (I went to XU in Cinci). Now I’ll think about skinny cheese fries and giant milkshakes. Darn it.

I love my luggage by Samsonite. It has four wheels and I can spin it 360 degrees. It’s the easiest stuff to roll through airports. No heavy dragging for me!

I hope you’re wearing a hard hat around your house. At the very least, all your beverages should have lids until further notice. Sorry to hear about your holey ceiling!

We are discussing the pig suitcase now, or we were before Lani quit to go to bed. Krissie was supposed to come, too, so we spent the day buying “We really miss you!” presents, some serious and some, uh, not. Let’s just say there’s pink glitter and purple fun fur. But some time this week, we will revisit the pig. And possibly Lani’s green suitcase while we’re at it because she thinks it needs to be more distinctive on the baggage carousel. Also we both fell seriously in love with bright pink plastic suitcases lined with orange at TJMaxx that had the requisite four wheels. Never buy luggage that has fewer than four wheels. Trust me on this.

holy smokes. it sounds like you were considerably calmer about it than me. i’d have probably given myself an aneurism after the second one.

ooh, hobby lobby. *sniffle* i miss real retail.

enjoy your guest!

random thought – did you ever figure out the pig suitcase?

Since it’s Steak N Shake, is it Lani?

Maybe your guest’s favorite activity is painting…

All of this sounds like an out-take from /Agnes/. Can’t you just see it happening to her while she’s trying to keep a chocolate chiffon cake from falling?

When I was 5 years old, a roofer put his foot through my bedroom ceiling while I was in there playing Barbies. It was seriously terrifying at the time. We never did get around to painting it back up.

Maybe it’s time to mention to these contractors that you know a former Special Forces guy who can kill the owner of the next foot-through-the-ceiling with his pinky?

Three is a very powerful number, and hopefully for these guys they will understand four holes…well, crossing fingers it won’t get to that.

I now agree that Joelle is a genius. I played around with the site, and did the final test. I typed “glittery” in the search box. The post that still makes me snort popped up as the second blog entry.

Genius.

I keep meaning to say, they offered to paint the ceiling, but the last thing I wanted was them dripping paint everywhere. So I said, no. They paid to have the drywall done, I’ll do the painting.

Yep, definitely. The contractors should have cover for this kind of damage and should get painters in for you. We had something similar once, while hubby was installing the flue for a pot belly stove in our large open plan sitting room. I was below, holding the flue and because it had been a while, I pointed out to him that my arms were beginning to shake. He said he’d be back down in a minute. Um, yeah. It was less than that because about a second later I heard this almighty ‘crack’ followed by the ceiling plaster board opening like a flower (an upside down flower,) followed by a waft of pink insulation floating down to the floor, followed by hubby’s slippered foot and wee voice saying “Oh, no.” That’s it. That’s all he could say! LOL! Thankfully the house insurance covered having the hole repaired, the entire textured ceiling scraped (and by entire I mean the kitchen the dining room and the rather large sitting room) and then replastered and resprayed. Lucky thing for us, really because we had a dropped ceiling in one corner and the plastering on the seam was crooked from day dot but after the flue incident was all pretty and straight again.

Not sure we needed any more light in our lives at the time but we certainly appreciated having the crooked ceiling seams fixed

Maybe the Girls in the basement should get together with the the Boys in the attic and produce wondrful stories.

Just a thought.

I agree the Boys should pain the ceilings…after you pick out the paint.

Why, do you suppose, is your website’s time an hour off? Standard time? Or Central Daylight? These things can be very confusing – two of my email accounts are on EDT, but one is PDT and I get a fair amount of mail from folks on CDT…

VERY annoying, I’m so sorry. Have fun at Hobby Lobby, Lowe’s and with your houseguest!

Thanks for the Preview function! Since I try to keep up with comments in general, the “Reply” function just throws me off (I have to go BACK through them to find out what’s been happening? Argh!), but I can see where it would be useful in keeping a thread together.
