Shhhhh! I’m trying to channel Peter Walsh. Peter? Oh…Peter…? I need you desperately! Come in Peter…
I decided to give my husband the best Valentines EVER! He’s always coveted our friend’s garage floor. It’s some fancy, schmancy, tri-colored, coating-they-use-on-the-space-shuttle kind of thing. All I know is when I heard it costs thousands of dollars, I laughed really hard. Then when I saw he was serious about wanting to get it, I gave him the “In your dreams when you win the lotto” look.
I did some research and found that this horrible economy would work in my favor for a change. I found a reputable company that said, “Will work for food”. So I hired them.
“Happy Valentines, Mark! I got you your fancy schmancy garage floor.” He was ecstatic.
This is what I didn’t know: EVERYTHING has to come out of the garage. It has to stay out of the garage for 5 days. 2 days to apply the “gold dust” and 3 days to dry. (Sigh.)
I was watching one of the hoarding shows and almost choked when I looked at the screen and then looked out in my yard…AAAAAHHHHHH!
The floor is done and tomorrow will be the 5th day. Let’s see how long it takes for everything to get put back inside. Anyone want to take bets?
What did I get for Valentines? Absolutely nothing. Someone was too busy with his new garage floor and forgot to get me anything.
I wonder were he’s going to put his bed in the new garage?

Maryellen,
You are unquestionably the BEST wife ever! Tell Mark you’d like a “do-over” for Valentine’s Day and he has until St. Patrick’s Day. I seem to have a growing list of “do-overs” at my house!
OH… purdy floor. Bill would love that.
You better get that stuff back in the garage before the porch patrol comes around and you get spanked!! Oh, wait, they wont notice because of the house next door to yours, don’t worry. TeeHee
BTW, tell Mark he owes you JEWELRY or a day at the spa and he has to watch the boys… YEAH that’s it!
Men always want the weirdest things…but you were sweet to give him a present he really wanted! He definitely owes you now though:)

I have no idea how to navigate the internet.
So I’m sending you a comment about your show tonight in Sun City Center, Florida, at the Kings Point Borini Theatre.
You were great!! I kinda felt sorry for you because the audience seemed kind of asleep but there were plenty of people that just loved your show.
Did you do the skit on YouTube that someone sent me about your hands in your shirt and moved them around like they were your boobs?
I know the above sentence sounds weird……..
