I can't believe he used the 'a' word- I asked him what he thought

16 years ago

(Gee, I hope you weren't thinking the worst- LOL!)

Although I can't tell you what I was showing him (it's my exchange project), I asked him what he thought...

*I* said I thought it came out pretty good.

HE said: "Actually, I think it looks pretty awesome. I suppose you're giving that away, huh??!"

How exciting is this?! He likes it..he loves it!!! I told him I'd make him one, but this one DID have to go away.

Yeah! Doesn't that make you feel great! You know your exchange person is going to love it now. Can't wait to see it. I sent pictures of my birdbath to my daughter in college because I needed some positive reinforcement. My son hasn't been happy with my craft since he had to have stitches in his knee stumbling into a bird feeder in the garage. Unfortunately, some grout had come out and left a sharp edge of a dish exposed. Can't convince him it was a fluke and I'm keeping things put away better.

To all those who have asked about how I will clean it..... I put the house up using two poles, one is secrured into the ground with concrete, the other is the one the house is actually mounted on, I used a large eye bolt and some u-clamps to secure the house pole to the ground pole. The bolt is through both poles about a foot down from the top of the ground pole. The u clamps go around both poles for stability. This setup allows for me to take the clamps off and then loosen the eyebolt just enough to swivel the house pole down for cleaning. This particular one requires two people for that because of the weight of the house during swivel, but it is really the best way I found to accomplish the cleaning need for all my birdhouses.

LOL.Nate, I totally tried that one this year when I saw how many seedlings survived and wondered where I was going to put them all. They didn't want to give me the key to their gate, which is totally fine. Its hard enough to find privacy here in Queens, so I won't begrudge them. (In fact, this is the only place I've ever lived where I'll come home and find groups of people or teenagers having dates in my garden, like its a public venue. Glad that they're enjoying, but it's really akward (" umm, excuse me, but may I use my yard now?) Lol Maybe I'll give the unfortunate red one another go next year, everyone but Christine is feeling so sympathetic. Lol ;) LNS is planted in a tall cylindrical pot, so that may be why it looks taller, I realize, but I do love how it blooms in fountains like that. :)

Thanks for all your responses- As I said, I'm not sure I am doing anything any time soon- but definitely something to think about! It's interesting that so many of you see the room as country, some as modern, or even traditional such different styles. I forgot to mention in this post (probably b/c i talked about it at nauseam that i will be re-finishing the table set a dark espresso stain over the summer, exactly b/c my taste is not country (although I like it in other people's homes, it just isn't for me in my home). But i also don't see the room as modern or traditional. I guess my whole house is a mixture- I'm not sure what my style is ( i guess that would be considered transitional?) I just kind of go with what i like or don't like.. If i do decide to change it I will certainly add some posts!! If I don't change it out, anyone want to buy a light fixture? I've run out of options in the house...

hehe how funny! now he will start expecting it!! Last Christmas I sorta made the same mistake. At a party at my SIL's I was standing next to relatives and friends at a breakfast bar. We were talking about hair, lots or not, if I recall correctly. I had met a college football player earlier that evening who shaved his head and to make a long story short, I ended up doing a nuggie on his bald head as he sat at the bar. I shocked myself but we were all at least laughing. Needless to say I still found myself embarrassed upon meeting him again at a graduation this month. He said he was going to join the New York Jets (as a defensive lineman I think). OMG, that's one big guy to be handing out nuggies too. I'm getting a chuckle out of it at least. Life can be so funny.
