Since hubby is out of town I am now in charge of . . . stuff! I admit I'm pretty much a kept woman. I never have to fix stuff or do stuff. You know most days I lie around on the sofa and eat Milano cookies and watch TV and occassionally take the dog out. Okay, okay I'm dreaming, but seriously I am having to take care of a few things that usually aren't my domain.
Among his many talents, my hubby is building a garage for a church member. How is he building a garage while out of town so much? He doesn't actually build the garage himself he contracts it out -- well with the exception of the footings which he and I did last week. That's right, I got dirty for money!
Anyways, he left an envelope for me to deliver to the brickmason when he completed the foundation. Pablo (the brick mason) called me today and wanted to meet to get his money. I was in Walmart and he said, "How convenient I live near Walmart, I'll be there in 10 minutes. Meet me in the parking lot by the Goodwill truck." So, a few minutes later Jacob and I are sitting by the Goodwill truck munching on potato wedges when a Latino man drives up in a truck. ME: You Pablo? HIM: Yes, very much thank you. You have money? ME: Uhh, yeah (handing him the envelope). You want to count it? HIM: (Looking very suspicious) No, no ma'am, I trust you. ME: Okay, I gotta go, have a good day. JACOB: It's a good thing he didn't want to count that money, cause I jacked $20 out of that envelope this morning. ME: (spitting Pepsi all over the windshield through my nose no less) Please tell me you're kidding. JACOB: (cracking up) I can't believe you fell for that. We laughed all the way home.
