Ever seen one of those "home improvement shows?" You know where everybody is smiling and having a great time, this really hip upbeat music is playing and entire rooms are transformed in elapsed time giving the illusion that this is actually possible to do in 30 minutes or something? I have always hated those shows....and now I really hate those shows.
So last week my wife and daughter were out of town and someone graciously offered to help me surprise Becky with some new carpet... while she was gone. While the carpet was a huge blessing to us, I got this bright idea to paint while the house was in disarray.
Well if you know me then you know that doing home improvement is not exactly one of my strengths, to put it lightly... but I was determined! So, with a lot of help from a very good friend (thank you brother!) we managed to surprise my wife when she got home....with a beautiful concrete slab in the den, bare steps with menacing tacks waiting to inflict injury to unprotected feet and furniture in every place but where it was supposed to be. Like I said, I hate those shows! But it did finally get finished yesterday and I think Becky really likes it!
