We hosted my wife's extended family for Christmas on Saturday. It was fun but I'm thoroughly tired of cleaning.
Wife family is always the host provides main and others bring a side for any get together. Her bro is doing Christmas this year, they decided to flip it so they provide sides and soups are brought. Cheap ass tavern hawks
My wife made me clean our tile floor, which is half of our main floor and it happens to be white. She told me and the kids if anyone gets it dirty this week they don't get Christmas. Needless to say I will be the first to get it dirty.
It would be my wife that would get it dirty but it would be my fault.
I would say I’m not a Christmasy person so it looks fine to me.
Our kitchen floor (main floor) and our game room floor (downstairs) are 1' square white stone tiles. I love how open and bright they make the kitchen look (the tiles downstairs are mostly covered by a pool table so NBD), but man, they are a beyotch to keep clean. When we moved in, we scrubbed all of the grout until the whole floor was white. It took less than a week for the grout to darken again. I gave up. We have white tiles and light brown grout. At least the color of the grout is evenly distributed...
Tomorrow. I hope. They haven't postponed it again...yet.
I think Boxster has laid claim to the Ipe decking, but he'll have to remove it from the deck as it is about 2/3 installed now. And he'll have to fight Lew while removing it, as Lew has been out there every day helping to install it. After all the screwups early on, he wanted to make sure it was done the way WE wanted. And it has been...it's looking really nice.
I think you folks need to remember that I don't live alone, and you may have to fight Lew for some of my stuff. The cats you could probably get for free...although, for all the noise he makes about hating cats, three of them sleep on him every night, and when we're watching TV in our recliners, there is nearly always one in his lap and one above his head on the back of the chair. They rotate, so it's not always the same ones.
I initially read this as an energy drink and bourbon kind of day.
We have enough cats and I don't think your clothes will fit so I guess Lew gets to keep your stuff. Since he's generally shirtless I don't think he'll need your clothes either. I am going to lay claim to the prestigious World's Largest Game of Twister semifinalist award.Tomorrow. I hope. They haven't postponed it again...yet.

Also, good luck tomorrow. Our prayers are with you. I know that you're not going under but surgery and recovery is still not very much fun.
I'm not "going under"? Dude, it's a 3+ hour surgery. They damn well better put me under!!!
...and thanks. It's appreciated.
I guess I misread something. 3 hours of listening to a sexy doctor in cowboy boots chop up your ankle would probably not be a perfect scenario.
I don't try very hard on the grout. I've thought about making my kids clean it with a toothbrush when they get in trouble.

Goodness. Life as Central Iowa's available adjunct is blowing up this morning.
If anyone else has a school that would like to reach out about a possible job, just let me know.

You missed a lot. I wouldn't let the sexy doc in cowboy boots anywhere near my ankle. He's a hand/wrist specialist that I was recommending to Rabbuk.
