cabensonWhat a BEAUTIFUL day! And because it is so beautiful, I have been guilted in to working outside on the house instead of sitting here, researching and playing. I agreed, but insisted that we needed to go to Lowe's first. $100 worth of caulk, paint, painting supplies and gardening shit later, I have become...The Caulk-Master. I finished cleaning away the old caulk on the concrete window ledge, scraped the mother down, and laid a beautiful bead of caulk to seal her up. Bitch asked for a cigarette when I was done. Now...the interior windows.
And there was another sighting of The Burning Bush this afternoon. For those that have never heard this tale, allow me to start at the beginning. One lazy, early summer Sunday morning, I was pulled from my bed by Mrs CB's cries, "My eyes. my eyes!!" Running down the hall, as much as I can run, I breathlessly asked what was wrong. She explained that she had been innocently sitting on the love-seat that faces a rather large picture window, reading the comics. She looked up for the briefest of moments to witness the house dress of the 800lb redhead that lives across the street flying ...upward. Trying to decide whether to laugh or cry, Mrs CB stated that it appeared that she was indeed, a true redhead. Taking in to account this neighbor's propensity to scream obscenities at her spouse and or children at any time during any day (Mother's Day we heard, "Don't FUCK with me, this is MY day!!), we have nicknamed her "The Burning Bush".
And yes, it was a bit breezy today. And bleach in your eyes DOES sting a bit.
Off to do more caulking...painting comes tomorrow.

Still, it's always nice to feel superior to your neighbors - socially and physically. Bad for the eyes, but good for the ego.

Come to think of it, I also don't know what caulk is, maybe I should find a redhead to explain it to me, kill two birds with one stone - just not your redhead!

redhead, huh? well, i'll bet no one knows for sure... 800lbs makes that too strenuous an investigation-- probably dangerous too...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MRS. CB from the Subway Licker!

Then Fred and Wilma and their screaming kids moved in. They are on land-contract and I give them another year before they default, less if they play the "Macarena" one more damn time.

Mmmm...Scully ::drool::
No redheads for me either, although Mrs CB is a light brown with auburn highlights.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MRS. CB from the Subway Licker!
I just told her that when she called from school. Now I need a new eardrum. She thanks you, and so do I!!
