Saturday Finds Me

...actually doing some home improvement. I am re-caulking my bathtub today. Why would a renter do such a thing, you ask? Well, because the people my landlord hired to caulk it the first time had no business doing the job. As I found out yesterday when I tore off all the old caulking, they actually used grout or spackle of some kind and then put caulk over that while it was still setting. It was hard as a rock and much of it wouldn't budge. I debated renting something that could tear through it and then realized, hey, I don't own this piece of crap building. I'll just caulk right over it and put up one of those silicone edge thingies that looks like tape on a roll. That'll do for now. I bleached and allowed it to dry and all that good stuff, so it's not like I'm totally careless.

Apparently when you caulk a tub you should fill it with water, so the weight of the tub lets it sink as low as possible. They didn't do that last time, and it cracked when it got full of water, thus leading to my disgusting shower that I try to bleach and hide at all costs. Hopefully after this weekend, she'll be a little better looking.

M is off visiting friends this weekend, so I am doing things he would be annoyed with, like for instance not having access to the shower. I am a single lady this weekend, which is kinda nice. It's really quiet and I have the whole place to myself. Last night I watched The Da Vinci Code, which M. would never be into watching. Tonight is Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I miss him though. I do everything better when he's around.

That being said, I am reminded of the Sex & the City episode about "secret single behavior." The stuff you do only when nobody is around. I think Miranda liked watching infomercials while wearing those spa gloves. Some people like eating things right out of the cartno. My thing is foot spa plus face mask plus History Channel.

M hates re-enactments, so I don't force him to do the three History Channel shows in a row on most evenings. But single Sweet Lady is going to get educated tonight.


Sigh...this post is proof that I've turned a corner in life, onto "comfortable street". Home improvement, silly rental dvds, the history channel. If only I had a lawn, I could start yelling at the neighborhood kids from my porch. Damn economy.
