"Always leave during plumbing."

And not to wear any more tan corduroy pants. Kate at Green Fashionista said...

That pic of Matt is hysterical! And love your mom's advice to leave during plumbing, I should definitely remember that. I also think I had those same LEI pants lol.

Happy New Year <3

Haha I love this! And I totally had the same pants - you are not alone ;) Happy New Year!

Ha ha! Good advice from your mom, my dad was a plumber, I know this to be true. Also, I just found a pair of pants like that in my drawer and I don't even know why I still have them....

LOL! I went through my closet a couple days ago and finally parted with a whole box of stuff. My theme this year is de-stress and simplify! Getting rid of lots of old things hopefully! :)

Matt is such a trooper! haha My Husband says that too me all the time "Can you write a blog about this?" LOL I guess I shouldn't complain because he is so supportive of me spending hours typing out posts! LOL

We recently moved into our new house, we are renting for now, but it's such an old house that it doesn't have a garbage disposal. I wish it did! I hate not having one! Lol

I'm fairly certain I had those same corduroys and blue polo shirt. . . and a navy blue belt to top it off with... ;)

LOL @ leave during plumbing. Since nobody wants to be my husband, I call my dad and whine. He happily comes over to help, because that means he can give me unsolicited advice. He starts talking tools, pipes, drains, and I just nod - not hearing a word that's been said. LOL

lol. When I used to blog consistently, i.e., pre-children, TJ would always say, "you can blog about this." LOL

7:30 on a week night is far too late to not be home. Seriously.

I laughed so hard at the corduroy pants. And leaving during plumbing. Michael isn't handy like that, so we'd have to hire a plumber and then awkwardly wonder what we do while he's there.

I love that he asked you to blog about it!! Not that it surprises me, but I'm impressed he knows about plumbing. My motto during any plumbing issue is "leave it to the experts". An expert Christopher is not.

I still have more stuff from high school than a 31 year old woman should own. I never wear it, but for some reason I just keep it!

Oh my gosh I forgot about l.e.i! I used to love those. Too funny!! How nice that your hubby is such a handy-man. :)

I'm glad you got your garbage disposal working!

I really need to clean out my closet.

January 4, 2016 at 5:12 PM Sara McCarty said...

Bhahaha! Oh corduroy...I remember those days. I'm glad that phase is over. :) And tell your hubby good job on the garbage disposal - I have some projects he could do at my house, if he's got some extra time! ;)

I think that's one of the benefits to renting - my husband can just call our landlord LOL!! Although watching him fix things is always fun!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

Yay for a handy husband and cleaning out your closet! I think you both accomplished a lot!

January 5, 2016 at 7:15 AM 
Hahah! :)

Impressive handy work by your husband! And smart advice from your mom about leaving during plumbing work!

GAH...crazy to think back to corduroy pants and polo shirts being in style!

Too funny! Happy New Year, lady!!

January 5, 2016 at 6:12 PM 

Hilarious post!! Love that he was ready for his close up and wanted you to blog about this!! Happy New Year and Happy New Garbage Disposal!! :)

January 5, 2016 at 7:05 PM 
Yes, when projects are going on, you should always find an excuse to vanish. A reorganization project is the perfect excuse! If I don't disappear, I often find I end up being asked to "help," which means standing there holding something for ten minutes.

January 5, 2016 at 7:27 PM 
This is hysterical. Your mom's advice is perfect.

Hahaha. I like the advice from your mom. That's what I tend to do. :)

I honestly thought you were going to say the pants met the garbage disposal in a tragic accident. I'm glad that wasn't the case. :) Yay for a new garbage disposal!
