Do You Think I'm Adopted?
John plays dominoes on Thursdays from 1:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. so I can do what ever I want to. I wanted to go to the strawberry city to get my hair trimmed. I've told you about my cow lick andhow if it isn't cut correctly it stands up like Alph, well you know who I mean. I told the operator I was thinking of spiking my hair then the cow lick would be right in place. She must have taken me at my word 'cause she cut it short. Maybe I'll get some of that gel stuff and try it. I always like to try everything once. It must have affected my brain because I came home and moved all the furniture in the living room out into the middle of the floor. I learned a long time ago how to move furniture alone without hurting my back. If the floor is not carpeted you gently lift one end and take your toe and ease a throw rug under then do the same thing on the other end. Push and pull just a little at a time as you bend over at just the right angle. Make sure you have plenty of time so you can take lots of breaks. Lay on the couch and prop your feet on the back. Every other time you may want to go to the bedroom and lay on a heating pad for twenty minutes. If the floor is carpeted you have to move the furniture out on one end verrry slowly and then go to the other end and do the same. Keep switching ends with breaks in between until you get the furniture where you want it. My daughters say they think I'm adopted because I'm so different from my siblings. I would never tell them I have an online journal. I doubt if they know what a blog is. They would be so embarrased to know the stuff I write here. Anyway I even went to Wal*Mart and found a yard of material in a mauve color with pigs all over it. Ah ha! The little round table with the lamp has a white cloth and it gets dirty so quick with John's toothpicks, candy wrappers, little notes, etc. so I put the little piggy cloth over the white one and put all his little junk in a box down low on a stool by his chair where it doesn't show so much. Now John doesn't like change so I knew better then to do this rearranging when he was home. I had just finished when I heard his truck drive up so I disappeared into the kitchen. As I heard him come in the door I heard him say OH S---.

send pictures of the new doo!
uh oh....
Do you know how they made the pyramids? They used cardboard. You can move a ten ton block of granite using cardboard. Insted of the throw rug put a piece of cardboard under the furniture and move as you suggested above. It works every time. Glad you like the new do, and spike away.
Lets see a new piture of your Alpha hair cut Paula LOL!! I was rolling at your last sentence.I bet John has his things back on the table top already IF I know men he-he.Have a great weekend. Take Care God Bless Kath xx
LOL Your girls don't know what they're missing reading your blog. Laughing my head off. PLEASE show us a picture of your new gel-spiked style. John's table with all his goodies reminds me of Larry's spot when he was here (he didn't live here). He had the same things going on and once when I moved the couch part where he sat there must have been twenty toothpicks that had fallen through the side!! Don't miss that either!!! :).......
You have to show us your new hair do!
Tabby :)
i have a terrible cowlick!!!! i sometimes spike my hair, have a bottle of gel for those days. :)
can't wait to see a pic of your new do!
i got mine cut yesterday too, had gotten much too long & i like a pixie do.
have a good wkend.
huggies...
Last time the girl cut my hair shorter and I liked it. My hair grows soooo fast! My hair is thick and it does not do good when left long on top.. too heavy. Maybe you will like the cut better after a while because easy to fix.. just run your finger through your hair. lol Gary thinks I am nuts for having a journal and visiting w/people I don't know. lol Hope Gary never finds my journal on line. hehe You should see Gary's end table by his recliner!! Ugh! I have gotten to where I don't even touch it any more except to use a feather duster around what little edges there is left. If he can live with it... then so be it! Have a good day and try to stay out of trouble. haha Janie
LOL! If your adopted we're related. I do the same thing to Paul. (Hugs)Indigo
Don't feel like the lone ranger Jack said a
beautiful Stork brought him and a Turkey dropped me in. I just moved furniture this
morning and turned my mattress around. I like you know how to do it. We may be related.
Shirl
You are funny ,oh sh ....hee hee ,thanks for the furniture moving tips I like a change around too, I would love to see a pic of your spikie hair ...love Jan xx
I can't wait to see you with spiked hair! You have to get a photo for us!!
I don't think you're adopted, there's always one sibling that acts totally different than the rest (they are usually the fun one of the family :-)
Have a great weekend Paula!
I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THAT, THAT JOHN SAID..ROBERTA....LOL

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha, OH sh--!
Shirl moves stuff herself basically the same but uses her back to push it around!
Sherry can't move anything in the MH.
I thought the old maxim of you girls was, two weeks a bad hair cut looks okay! So I guess the spiking is out. or you will hear another OH SH--!
Jack
i can't move the big stuff at all any more--but sometimes take all the junk at hubby's end table, put it in a plastic bag and put it in his chair. right now the whole house is a disaster with all his hunting stuff piled all over "until he puts it away" hah!
He he he...thats funny! He got a surprise when he came through the door didnt he? LOL! I am with you, take your time, move it a little at a time, no rushing it.
Good job on the cleaning Paula, I've only got the living room left...its the hardest(big furniture), Move everything to one side, clean carpet, wait 8 hours move everything over to other side, clean carpet, wait 8 hours re-arrange.....My guys wont be happy either.
