i picked up a pair of jeans this a.m. that i had worn yesterday,
all the coins fell out of one of the pockets,
coins bouncing all over, rolling under furniture,
rolling into other rooms, scaring the dogs with the noise,
dogs ran over by MIL, MIL trips over dogs,
bowl of potato salad she was holding flies into the air,
lands on Kim's head..what a mess!
ok ok, i embellished a little bit ; )....but the coins did drop out
of the pocket though, and i had to pick them up <g>.

My weekend whine: I went to a couple of yard sales. Found a BEAUTIFUL Monet
poster in a glass frame for $10 (I have one room dedicated to Monet prints)
which was a steal...until I got home and bumped it on the stairs since I have
no legs to speak of and of course the glass cracked. HMMPH!

Evie..I LOVE Monet!!!

OK..here's my whine......

Went to my sisters for my parents 45th celebration. Turned out very nice.
Came home to pack up the kids so they could visit with their cousin (at
Granny's) and spend the night so WE could celebrate our anniversary <g>

When we got home and parked the car, a guy was out painting our neighbor's
fence. (silver type). A few of the neighbor's have been painting theirs for
days and the paint is SUPER thin. When I reached for our gate to close the
car, I noticed that I got paint on my hand...hmm..how did that happen. I see
that some paint is on our concrete driveway and kind of in the alley concrete
(which is only a couple of years old) I start bitching that I wish they would
have been more careful, because this silver paint will never wear off our
concrete. You'd have to know our next door neighbor, but she's a real pain
about stuff. She's very picky..but when they put their new porch on and
slopped extra dirt all over the front yard, it killed some of our grass. I
quietly went out and after buying new seed, planted it and watered it. Then
when they went to seed...they threw down new top soil and killed the grass I
planted and planted shit grass seed that still hasn't grown. OK..so I haven't
said anything. She was the neighbor that when we had our house up for
sale...came over and said that people thought hers was for sale because where
the sign was placed, which was CLEARLY and EASILY in our yard. OK..back to
story.
We walk to kids to Grannie's house and come home and get ready to see a movie.
(one for grownups!) and I told Greg that I had this bad feeling because it was
very windy...and I was going to check the car. Yup...hundreds of tiny little
specs of silver paint all over our car. GREG (who is normally very quiet)
tells this guy (who has moved to another part of fence) that he's gotten paint
on our car. The guy comes over and says.."he's very sorry" He has some solvent
he can put on. Um..I don't think so (stupid idiot) since it'll probably screw
up the paint even worse). We rush to the car wash to try and get it
off...NOPE..kind of has a metallic look to it now. After the car wash, I call
the neighbor kid (who lives in the house next door). This kid is 24 and just
married and living with mommy. Hey ____..who's painting your fence? DUH..I
don't know. _____there is a guy painting your fence..did your mother hire him?
Uh..I don't know. Look out your window..do you recognize the guy painting the
fence? OK..regardless..he was painting the neighbor's fence..and screwed up
our car. Somebody's gonna have to pay!!!!! Sorry for going over the 3 line
rule..my blood pressure is still boiling)

Evie, you can have the glass replaced at a small amount if you take it to a
place that does all glass stuff. Car windows etc.
We like Monet also,went to the Museum in Boston to see his works of art when
they were there. Beautiful!

Pudge
If not,why not?Way too deep for me!

GO GET HIM, SIS!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE: Sunday morning..a.m....so I see the neighbor that lives on the other
side of the guy we THINK painted the fence. I asked her if she knew who was
painting yesterday (because I didn't want to bug my next door neighbor) She
told me. I no sooner got to my back porch and I see him talking to her and his
mother (who lives spying at her front door on the WHOLE neighborhood) talking.
She hollars to me "do ya need a loud speaker?" Now..I didn't say a word..went
inside and told Greg that he had better take care of it. This guy is telling
Greg I knew who he was. Greg tells him WE did not. She says..you've seen him
for over 2 years..I said..he didn't have glasses on. Then the guy says to Greg
that we waited over an hour to take the car to the car wash. Greg tells him
that the paint was already dry. Like it's our $8#)@) fault that he got paint
on our car and we didn't get it off fast enough. Then the guy says again he
wants to put some "stuff" on it. Greg says..No..we're not putting anything on
our car. It'll have to be buffed off or repainted. Getting shitty with Greg
because WE WAITED...ARRUUGGHHH. Then she has to come outside and say something
to me. Greg is going to be gone all week and I know she's gonna start some
shit. She says..now the whole neighborhood knows. Yeah..I asked the next door
neighbor ('cause I knew she was gonna hear a "story" from the bitty) and her
other neighbor who identified the guy. So..just to cover our ass, I'm calling
our insurance company in the a.m. (but Greg will have the car all week) Should
I do anything else official to cover our butts? What if they then deny it???
Just a note...1 yr ago father's day is when the gate blew into the back of our
car and screwed it up. Guess which car won't be driven next year.

I guess you can call the insuruance company and explain what happened. They can
send someone out to see the freshly painted fence has the same paint that
splattered on your car. And then you can send in an estimate.

Here's the deal. When the sun is shining bright, like it is today, you can't
see the paint because of the metalic flecks in our car's paint. Also..the
flecks are soooo very tiny (just hundreds of them) that taking a picture might
not show them. Based on their snotty comment about us waiting an hour before
WE went and got the car washed at OUR expense, I think the service writer who
Greg always deals with can help us out. Yeah..the noive of us not getting our
car washed sooner. (and it was by no means 1 hr...as soon as we saw it..we got
our stuff from inside the house and took it to the car wash)

So..my neighbor just calls my house (next door..this is the neighbor that the
guy was painting her fence as a favor) paint all over her car. She doesn't
know what to do. We're getting estimates.

Umm... well...I know coins never fall out of my bra when I leave it on the
floor... but I am not sure about sweat pants...As for shorts... dang, coins
fall out of them just when you least expect it. We should do a survey to make
sure though. <g>
