Enjoli?

I'm not sure what that word means -- so forgive me if it's something bad....

but, today, while I was outside power washing the house (sweet hubby trusted me with his power washer!!!) I was thinking of what I needed to do for the day and all of a sudden ---

"I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan....." started playing in my head!

I went in, after a while, and fried up some french fries for lunch and was still feeling pretty good as I went back out to finish washing the front of the house. On about my 451st chorus of the enjoli song, my shoulders started to burn....... and I was starting to not feel so much like the Enjoli woman and more like a wet noodle -- a wet noodle with burning shoulders. Huuuubbbbbby? Hubby, c'mere........ It was time for me to play the, "I'm a girl" card. I like never play it, but I did, today, baby! Shameful, I know.

Wanna look at my clean house?

It's still dirty, here. Most of it, anyway. I had started washing it -- we left the shutters on because we didn't want to get water in the screw holes, but "mud" wouldn't quit coming out from behind. Soooooooooooooo..........Hubby took them off and LOOK! Eeeeewwwww............ I would have been there ALL day!There were dirt dobber and wasps nest all behind the shutters. They were attached to both the shutters and the house.Eeeewwwww, again. Then, I had to put the camera away and get back to work. I was sopping wet with a ball cap and one of my husbands old coveralls on!Hubby finished the bookshelves while I was cleaning, then........... he wanted to mow the yard. But since I "sissied" up about halfway of the porch ceiling (I finished the front, the posts, and about half the ceiling -- I didn't completely wimp out!) I asked if I could mow the yard while he finished the porch ceiling and whatever I didn't do well enough.

I'm thinking that my day was about to be a little easier, but my shoulders were burning and since I slouch, my back was "ouching", too! Y'all, I was such a baby, today. I almost finished the yard, but we ran out of gas!!!! I was grounded -- so I went inside, showered, and cooked dinner. The agony of defeat.

Now that the bookshelves are finished, I need to load them. Not today......not today.......

I'll be back with pictures of our beautiful new shelves, but I'll need to show you the before and after painting pictures, first. I'll hurry!

Many Blessings, my sweet friends,
