If you...

If you give a woman an entertainment center, she'll want to get rid of the bookcase that the TV is sitting on.
If she gets rid of the bookcase, she'll want to buy new bookcases to put the books on.
If she buys new bookcases, then she'll want to reorganize the whole living room.
If she reorganizes the living room, she'll want to get rid of another couch, and the other bookcase.
If she gets rid of the bookcase and couch the living room, there is no longer space to hide art supplies behind.
If she needs a place to put her art supplies, she'll want to reorganize her art room.
If she reorganizes her art room, she needs to move an old desk and give it to The Boy.
If she gives the desk to The Boy, she needs to buy a loft bed, and a larger dresser, and bookshelves.
If she buys furniture for The Boy, she needs to clean the basement to put some of his old furniture.
If she cleans the basement, she needs to move the drum set.
While cleaning the basement, she finds some paint to repaint the living room.
If she paints the living room, she'll want to take down the old brown paneling cleverly disguised as a blue wall.
If she takes down the brown paneling, she'll want drywall to cover up the crappy plaster wall that the brown paneling was diguising in the first place.
If she needs to drywall the wall, she'll need to move the piano.
If she moves the piano, then she can move the couch.
If she moves the couch, then she can paint the new entertainment center.
If she paints the entertainment center, then she can put the TV on it.

And you wonder why I havent blogged on my vacation :)

Now you know why some men CHOOSE to remain single...LOL. But, statistics show that you will live longer than the single man. All that excercise.

I'm going to steal a comedian's line here: "It's not that married men live longer ... it just feels longer!!!!". :)

No, it's not all done yet. The drywall is up, and we have yet to paint the living room. Wea re going to do that while most of the furniture is out of the living room this week.

He forgot about the curtains, they never match, you always have to make new or buy new and the hooks for the rods are never the same; which always leads to repairing cracked window molding or drilling new holes in the plaster which of course never line up with anything to anchor the screws in so you have to make bigger holes for the molybolts and plaster in all the old ones and the new mistakes (which by the way, means 4 trips to Lowes and Home Depot because neither has exactly what you need). By the way, he will do this because “If THE QUEEN Ain’t Happy, The Kingdom Ain’t happy”
