That’s the question on my mind this morning. Why? For what purpose? What is the reason for it all? Is there a reason?
And no, I’m not talking about why are we on earth…I’m talking about WHY ARE WE STUCK AT THIS FREAKING MARKET!!!! Ted and I have been here for 2 hours, and we have not seen ONE customer! I could be home with Amanda and Caroline, or at church, or out hugging a tree. But NOOOOOOOO, we have to come and waste precious minutes of our lives. It’s like prison, without the soap-on-a-rope. We haven’t seen the sun in a week! The Tree-Newt needs to see some foilage!!!! So I ask, what is the reason for it all?

Tree Squirrel is about to go rabid: I have just gone into shut down mode and keep mumbling under my breath “opening day is tomorrow, opening day is tomorrow, opening day is tomorrow”.

Thats a magic bus you are thinking about , the Who remember.Picture in your mind 10,000 bedroom suites spread out across a parking lot. Does that poor guy pay you up front or do you let him wait 6 8 10 months to pay. Thats our hurdle with a second location . Now if papa E wants to drop a few dimes to invest we might be in business.

Alright, I’m here. Against all common sense. It’s 12:27. We arrived in Benson around 5:30, and I immediately went to work on the house. It’s like I never left! I was hoping that little magic elves might have come and fixed everything while I was at market, but no such luck. I don’t think we’ll ever get in this house. I think I’ll be living with my in-laws forever.
Hey, you don’t think that’s their plan, do you?
As my unbalanced yet lovable brother said, “Opening day is tomorrow.” I’m sure I’ll be over at the house, nailing, caulking, or painting something. Maybe I can find it on the AM.
Tree-Newt is climbing into his nest for the evening. Goodnight all.

Funny that you mention “The Money Pit,” as I was thinking about that yesterday. I feel like he did when the chimney fell down, just nodding away as more and more things don’t get fixed. Hopefully, we’ll be in there by this weekend. And hopefully, I can find time to post soon. Quit busting my marbles! I’m a busy man!

Mattie, I keep looking for a new post, too. Surely there is some deep insight you have learned throughout this house renovation experience that you can share with us. How our lives are like home improvement? Don’t sell you house until you have another place to live? Anything? Bueller….Bueller…Anyone…?

It’s kind of strange that people are actually waiting for me to expound on something. Aren’t you all the same people who dog me for talking too much? I guess at least in cyberspace, you don’t have to listen to my whiny voice, eh?

Scotty, I can water, but I usually quit about July or so. Sounds like I would fit into the plant-o-rama just fine.
However, Thing One and Thing Two coming out is about as likely as snow in August. Ted barely leaves his house, much less the state. Plus Mattie is still working on the Money Pit, so he’s probably a no, too.
Sounds like you’re stuck with me. 🙂
