Dear Miss Britt,
I have been reading your blog for over a year. Now that we both live in the same sunshine state, we should get together. I’m sure we’d have lots of fun!
Sincerely,
—————-
Dear Allyson,
This sounds like a great idea! I really enjoy meeting new bloggers.
Are you available the last weekend in February?
If so, you should drive two and a half hours to hang out at my house!
We can have drinks.
And hang out. And just… relax.
You can even meet the Husband.
We’d love to have you over.
Hope to see you soon!
XOXOX,
Miss Britt
P.S. Anyone else got a craving to meet me? Yeah… I didn’t think so.

I think I just peed a little at all of these pictures. My faves are definitely number one and number three.
But I’d still come hang out, even if my fat ass had to paint, cause I’m just that into you.

Maybe I’m strange, but I don’t see this as odd. I’ve often been on both sides of this kind of situation. That said, I and all my friends are the type of people who can’t just sit around and not do anything (especially if there are things that need doing). Shoot, I even volunteer for my primary vacation every year.

We really should meet at my place, I have a couple rooms that need painted. If I’m not home you can go ahead and start without me. No, really, I won’t mind.

Zanthera’s last blog post..It works now

heh. Three nights ago I tool Stuperman (3) with me to a convenience store – I needed candy – and chocolate.
one wall in the store is all juice and pop in coolers and he said – in that loud annoying voice kids get when parents don’t want them heard – LOOK MOMMY! ALCOHOL!!
He was pretty excited, but the very conservative, religious clerk behind her high and mighty now I will lecture you for eight minutes counter, was not.
In other words, I’ll be glad to get that Mom of the year award int he mail to you post haste!

At least the child is not the one mixing the drinks. I don’t allow people to take photos of mine when he’s on bartenting duty.

That is a brilliant idea- use the blog for painting help. Why didn’t I think of that!

I saw Avi’s twitter about watching you and Allyson paint last weekend and I started laughing.
Allyson looks just like Ripley’s groomer, “Auntie Joanne”! Wow! (That’s a good thing.)

PS – I’ll be back the end of April, but I hate painting. Got any other household chores you want me to help with?
Reply
I can do some mean drywall mudding. So, you know, if you decide to knock a hole in a wall or add one… you just call me. If you can get me over my intense fear of flying, or want to take a reallllly long road trip, I’ll come over for DIY.
Reply
debkitty: OK fine. But then you have to mix the drinks.
DutchBitch: of course!
Savy: oh good!
Zanthera: yeah, that’s true. That’s why I do the trim.
bluepaintred: LOL, I will clear a spot for it!
Finn: I wouldn’t trust my kids enough to drink something they’d mixed for me. They seem a little shifty if you ask me…
sizzle: you are welcome to steal the idea!
Laura: Gray Goose will do.
themuttprincess: absolutely! You my door is always open to you.
Poppy: so THAT is what he was doing while sitting his lazy ass on the couch.
Poppy: how are you at gardening?
Reply
Fogspinner: I hope to never, ever have to deal with mudding again after the last two houses!

You can keep your clothes on while painting? Really?
My friends lied to me, we always did our painting in our undies. We had the drinks in lidded cups, no one likes gin with paint mixed in.

I almost started crying. I am an incredible gardener, with no gardens anymore. Ugh. I might still cry.

i love painting. OTHER people’s places. everyone knows if there is a painting project that they can count on me to assist.
you are welcome to put me to work when i visit, but i insist on a couch or bed to pass out in later (because when work is done there will be many, many alcoholic drinks & vats of guac consumed, plus i will be exhausted from all the work i did for you).
you will have company for quite some time. let me know when your schedule frees up. i’ll come work with ya! (work for you is a vacation for me, bay-bee)

You are an absolute character. I am excellent with a roller and am very good at prep work (years of detention at Catholic school where the nuns made me paint bedrooms in the convent as punishment.) Sadly, however, I am booked out for the next 6 months. Hahaha.
