Saturday - Gotta get the tile today so we can pay our respects tomorrow at the altar of white trashery, The Long Beach Grand Prix. Good luck Mark and Miwako. Hope you're happy in Silicon Valley. Tile shopping was productive. Still don't have any tile but we now know not to spend $400 on it before taking a sample home and discovering that it's purple.
Sunday - No tile, so no Grand Prix. Breathe in... breathe out. Found the perfect tile at Lowe's. Then found out it's discontinued. Can you say square one?. Breathe in... breathe out. If M had any appreciation at all for the classics of american cinema she wouldn't be doing the dishes that loudly when 'Zombie Strippers' is on TV.
Tuesday - Final can light installed. Friends suck. Finally chose the floor tile and then Tad came over with his big ol' fancy design degree and made us realize our ineptitude. Skuh-ware one again... Ok, screw it. We're going with the darker, richer tile. Happy, Mr. Man? Wait til you do your kitchen. I'm gonna be there every frikkin' day. "You can't do drywall like that.", "Is this how you wire a switch?". Ohh, it's gonna be good!
Wednesday - Tile purchased. Could be here as early as tomorrow which would mean tiling this weekend.
Thursday - Ok then, tile won't be here 'til wednesday. I'm in a tricky place after fixing the bathroom faucet. Does a sacred vow of marriage require a guy to disclose to his wife that, after procrastinating for two months, it only took 3 minutes to fix the leak? Or is my love life better served by spreading a ton of tools around the sink for her to see when she comes home?
Friday - Perfect. Antonio called to say 'Hi'. Then he said that the tile he insisted would be here on Wednesday would actually take "weeks" to get here. Breathe in... Breathe out... And then go choke the breath out of Antonio.
... to be continued...
