Where's Joannie

Paul in Cannon Beach

I am not saying I miss her but where is she?

NeedCoffee

I know! I'm waiting for my witty yet biting lashing for the football game this past weekend. Perhaps her work is generous and she gets 2 days off for Columbus Day???

Paul in Cannon Beach

I hope she hasnt been sucked away by a twister.

NeedCoffee

Or a platypus. That would be horrid.

HRQ

She's fine. I just salted her third margarita of the day.

Paul in Cannon Beach

Ok Ok! I miss her. Where is she?

That's pretty good Paul, but the newspaper in Oklahoma City is called The Oklahoman. ;;)

Huh, thats wierd how they must have left of the "n" that day...

Maybe because they were so worried about Joannie.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-11-07 AT 01:23PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Joannie just left here on her Harley. She slept in because of yesterday's margarita binge. I sent her on her way with a care package of Tylenol, V-8, Gatorade, a sleep mask, and lots of bland food.

She expects to be back in full force Monday.

...and you spelled weird wrong again. Don't you ever listen?

Q has gone from Ray's sidekick to Joannie's spokesperson.

Such a giver!

HRQ

To quote someone whom I enjoy very much and also like to poke now and then, "that's how I roll..."

Paul in Cannon Beach

I got to bump this back up to the top so that Joannie sees this and feels the love.

Thanks for the concern Paul, but if you really loved me, you would have offered to help me with the kitchen remodel. Q's idea of how I spent my vacation would have been much more enjoyable than reality. However, my kitchen is nice and shiny and new.

Paul in Cannon Beach

And if you knew me you wouldn't want me helping on any house projects.

I put new handles on our kitchen drawers. I tried to do everything perfect but I somehow managed to put ever handle 7/16 of an inch to the right.

Well, thats better than leaning to the left I suppose.

Congrats on your new kitchen. So who does the cooking in your household?

joannie

We both cook. Depends on what we are having. My hubby used to work for a catering company. Let me guess, you can't cook either?

Paul in Cannon Beach

I am not helpless. I could create a basic meal but I wouldnt consider myself a cook.

So you finally updated the orange linoleum and green curtains in the ol' kitchen?

Here is Joannie's old kitchen:

One would have to be 7' tall to open the cabinets. Look how high the knobs are! Did you measure incorrectly again when you helped with those, Paul?

joannie

It's scary, but Paul was pretty close to right. The old kitchen was dark seafoam grean with brown, mauve, grey & blue tile and cream colored wallpaper with blue & mauve flowers and forrest green stripes. Don't blame me, it was that way when we moved in. New kitchen is much better. Paul, I'll post a picture just for you as soon as I get the new formica installed.

Paul in Cannon Beach

When did you move in?

Save a scrap of the old wallpaper just to pull out from time to time and laugh hysterically.

joannie

7 years ago, but we've worked on a different part of the house or yard each year. We saved the hardest and most expensive for last.
