Le Weekend

This weekend, I spent the WHOLE weekend dealing with Isadora who was freaking out about letters from the Home Depot Association! That's right, the HOME DEPOT ASSOCIATION! Not the Home Owner's Association!

I would love to see if there is any relationship between the rise of HOA's and the rise of HD.

We had to repair a fence that was tilting...fine. We had to replace a board....that I really doubt needed changing. When you talk to neighbors...EVERYONE has something to do. Where are they buying supplies to do them...LOWES and HOME DEPOT. I mean everyone had something to do.

Now they want us to paint our door a different color than the green that was there when we bought it. Gee wonder where we go buy the paint.....?

I researched it...couldn't find anything concrete....I am sure some relationship is there. They make it sound like if the HOA went away....YAHOO! LET"S PAINT OUR HOUSES PINK WITH PURPLE POKADOTS AND PARK OUR CARS ON THE LAWN AND PUT STATUES OF FAGGITS FUCKING!

Lived in Canada for 27 years. Everyone just did their thing. Everyone kept their appearances up by themselves.

Needless to say...I got nothing done on the pergola.

Oh yeah! Took Darryl and I 10 minutes to measure a perfect 10x10 foot square. Took Isadora and I 2 hours to not even come close. Everytime I would measure it was never the same. I think she kept moving the measuring tape to a different place when we were taking the measurements.

She has some serious unconscious issues going on. When she doesn't want something done...She volunteers to help and then turns into a complete moron.

"Stand over there please."

"Where"

"There"

"Where...tell me where!"

"Isadora look up at my fuckin' hand and you will see where I am pointing to!"

"You are a jerk!"

"I am pointing and you are looking at the ground!"

She then went to do her "own thing" which was cutting the grass on the side of the house.

SNIP

"I think I cut the air conditioning wire...."

Sure enough...she did. In her defence, the wire was a dark brown and looked like a vine buried in the grass.

One of the T-Ball parents is an A/C guy. He came over and put the wire back together in 5 minutes.

People you should know on a personal basis or be friends with in your life:

- A lawyer (Derek)
- An accountant
- A policeman
- An A/C repair man (Scott)
- A doctor (Manish)
- Movers (Jason and Scott)

My original plans were to:

1) Build a pergola
2) Give Isadora a pedicure
3) Apply a Henna tatoo to Isadora

Try again next weekend!
