The unnecessary basement ceiling project is moving right along.
.
.
And after the husband didn’t like the look of his zip taped seams?
.
.
He decided to paint the whole thing white. Another completely unnecessary expense and waste of time. Who’s going to see it… the mice?
.
.
Here he is vacuuming cobwebs out of the windows.

Man with vacuum is such a rare sighting…. I had to get a close up.

A giant pause was taken when the cables to our satellite tv were reached. This is sacred ground and must be dealt with properly to avoid interruption in service. He’s only seen Rio Bravo, El Dorado and The Sons of Katie Elder 122 times. Wouldn’t want to miss the 123rd showing.

River's world..... 
Hey, you might not see man with vacuum very often, but in some houses it happens very regularly. I know. So please to make it personal. You do not see your man with a vacuum but rarely. Other women see it all the time.
As for the project, at least you know where hubsy is, and useless or not, you know how he is occupying his time. Give him some lattitude. In his mind he is doing it all for you…

I stand corrected. But as I’ve only seen my man with a vacuum twice in 38 years, you can understand my shock.
As for doing this for me, no. I’m not buying it. There are multiple projects I’d love to have done that are still waiting.

Not “for you” in the sense of projects you want done, but “for you” in the sense he is hoping to impress you and make you happy that he did it. I would have to say there is a disconnect in how a man (:represented by me) can describe something to a woman (as represented by you). I know exactly what I mean, but you go in a totally unexpected direction. Once again, the twain is not meeting. Vive la diffèrence! and all that stuff but our minds work diffrently. No reason to stand corrected, but more reason to discover how differently we think.

I understand taking out the trash and changing my oil says he loves me. Even buying me a fancy new toaster. But insulating and installing a ceiling in a room with no heat is just silly.

Maybe he is ma,ing you a cold storage room, one that remains a constant low temperatutre. Whatever it is, say you love it. He’ll be happy.

If TCM went away, I wouldn’t need cable… Every week, I go through the entire seven days and dvr any movies that look interesting. I saw one last night with Goldie Hawn and Warren Beatty… It had the longest chase scene I believe I’ve ever seen…
