This proves yet again I’m a complete woman 🙂 If I had been there, the extent of my contribution would have been bringing you beer. But I think it’s awesome that you are actually handy.. let’s face it: outside of school, I’m about as useful as a missionary in a cathouse..

That has to be much better than sanding with sandpaper wrapped around a block, which is just frustrating and tiring. Yay for you refinishing all by yourself.

She may get jealous of your comments about the “houseboy”. 🙂 On a side-note, we are hiring at Home Depot and would LOVE to hire someone like you that works for ZERO DOLLARS per HOUR. Make Marie treat you to dinner! (and if you go to Crave again, invite me along) 🙂

So, when you move to Maine to be my concubine, you can fix up the house as well! I’ll start looking around for a fixer-upper.

Sounds like you should think about that. Leave it to Ms. Hough to bring up the Houseboy – but I too was intrigued with this shirtless, nameless man.

But I sure didn’t follow up on it did I? I think I was really looking for something back then when things were bad at work especially. I had a renewed hope in my regular work near the end there, but Erin has reminded me of little dreams that maybe I shouldn’t forget. And who knows, if Ruth becomes my personal trainer, I could be that buxom blonde on “In a Fix.”

You know, when I was working construction, we used to take our shirts off on hot summer days. That should be the policy for your firm, as well.

Damn, this is sounding more like a beer commercial with every passing second.

Enough with the guilt trip you lay on me. I am supporting Katie in more than monetary ways. All our projects are moments in time we will remember forwever. She is also building up an “I owe you” list for when she moves into her own place. 🙂

The said “houseboy” went one step further last night and stayed up till 1:00am helping Katie study for her big exam. I do encourage everyone to find such a great “houseboy.” IF only they were that easy to find. I hope all the cramming paid off, Kate.
