Painting Party

Regular readers know that H and I are in the habit of neglecting our blog after a visit. Perhaps it is because we've just seen each other, and find the blog cold and impersonal (mockery is so much better in person, no?). However, the weekend was a success.
  • Did we (M) paint? Yes, almost every wall in her apartment. C'est magnifique!
  • Did H finally buy furniture? In theory, yes. The delivery services forget that a key part of their job is delivering said furniture.
  • What about money. Did M spend it all? Hmm. A fair chunk. H needed a lot, but she'll be happier for it.
  • Will H be OK, financially? Of course! She has enough left that she won't need to rent out her air mattress to the neighbourhood crack whores.
  • Was M harassed by airport security? Yes, she was politely groped by a respectful guard. But he did ask nicely.
More pictures to come, but for now, here's a taste of our weekend:
If you like gin, you'll like H's weekend creation: combine equal parts of gin, lemonade and club soda over ice, garnish with frozen blueberries. As the blueberries thaw, their juices mix into the drink for a funky effect. Seriously tasty stuff.

I think the sisters are clearly showing here that with effort, sisters of any age can shed old patterns and forge new relationships through teamwork and creative bar tending. The drink is on my "to mix" list.

I have a feeling the airport guards all wanted to ask M for a respectful grope--but they let less beautiful people cruise right through.

That drink sounds lovely!

Well as long as it was a polite grope...

I was just about to suggest that you change your blog's tagline to "Um, we're supposed to be writing a blog together, right?"

Kurt said...

M, perhaps you should ave gifted H some of the more expensive items. This is expected of older sisters.

Has the sofa arrived yet? Me, Dennis and some pals want to come over and "test' it out (claw, shed) with your cats. Got to get rid of that "new couch" smell.

I read on Dennis's blog that you got an embroidered duvet cover! does this mean you got a bed frame?

Honey H, the boudoir is SO important! Sleeping in a divine room is so much more luxurious.

I'm on pins and needles wondering how everything looks now.

Post pictures soon!

Ta!

H, I hold the same respectable duties when it comes to painting around here. Very fatiguing stuff!

dennis said...

Dennis needs to know about that sofa!

Squirrel said...

Obviously paint fumes and gin don't mix well.

Bob Dylan said...

And now H had to get a second job to put her savings account back in the black--she has no extra time for blogging. What is M's excuse?

I ran out of gin and blueberries.

Kurt said...

New post!

dennis said...

Dennis is tired of the painting party. Dennis wants new couch and some snacks.

Fred said...
