Disliking a Face
So I got too much sun yesterday, and my face hurts now. I have stayed inside all day, scanning black-and-white negatives from the photos I took yesterday and crying silently on the inside. But it's not my face that we're talking about here.
Mrs. Wiggy bought me Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies, for which, bless her.
We each ate one, which was a lovely thing, sick or not.
Then she turned on the TV and we were watching HGTV, which is pretty much what we do. That or the Food Channel. People cooking or people building stuff.
The host of some fix-it TV show came on and my wife remarked,
"He's so ugly."
"What?"
"He's so ugly. I think he's ugly."
"What don't you like about him, his face?"
"No, his face is fine. I just don't like his eyes, ears, and nose."
"That's pretty much his whole face."
"No, I didn't say his mouth."
"Oh. You like his mouth?"
"No."
I have no idea what my wife and I talk about sometimes. Ladies - this is why we nod and say "Uh-huh" in a disinterested way from time to time. But we still love you. Especially when you bring us Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies.
Another word to bring back from the dead - irked. Now that's a fun word. I'm so irked.
Argle-Bargle.
Wiggy

I'm sorry you have sunburn, but Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies balances that, man. Bless Mrs. Wiggy x2! I would go out in the blazing sun if I knew an Oatmeal Cream Pie was waiting for me. Alas, it is dark out.
HGTV and the Food Network are all we watch too. I don't cook a lot of the stuff they show, and if I had $60,000 to spare, I'd probably know how to remodel my house without a designer's help, but boy do I know those shows well enough to set my watch. Unless Emeril's on, then I never know what time it is because he likes to show up a lot. I wish he'd make Oatmeal Cream Pies.

Yes, Little Debbie deserves a special place in Heaven. Since we are also arm-chair remodelers, we have...repainted a room. I hung my first shelf, but I made a mistake. I took my time and got all the toys and used a level and made it level - from side to side. Unfortunately, I was not thinking in three dimensions. So it tilts back quite alarmingly. Well, nothing will roll off that shelf. Which is good, I think.
Oh, and by the way. If you live in a 1923 bungalow like we do - do not, if you value your sanity, put a level on anything in the house that is supposed to be level. You will find that the house's reality is not the world's reality - then you have to decide when you put up a painting or a shelf or what-not; do we make it level to the house, or level to the world? I vote house.

I'm not sure what style my house was originally, because the previous owner added on, but I know the left-side front quarter was built in 1926, and I know that my decision to put up plaid wallpaper years ago did not fare well, so I sympathize.
Hey, shelves that tilt towards the wall are great, though, I was attacked by the contents of a shelf that tilted the other way once.
