My oldest and dearest friend, Alli, is visiting from Chicago. When we were knee high to a grasshopper, we used to get into a lot of mischief. Just because we're taller now doesn't mean we have to forego any fun.
We've been having a wonderful time redecorating David's house... So far, we've rearranged his closets, his drawers, his toiletries and alphabetized all the books in his library... according to publisher... sub-alphabetized to year of publication. I'm sure he's tired of searching by title or author or subject matter. We've also painted his guestroom PINK and just before the paint was completely dry, Alli sprayed all the walls with gold sprinkles. We bought some extra-large lady's lingerie and hung the gauzy frilly lacy things in that closet as well.
Naturally, this was all done while Cowboy was at work or out of the house doing errands. I was worried he would smell the fresh paint but the open windows helped a lot. When David yells at Cowboy to yell at me, I'll blame it on Alli. She'll be back in Chicago by then. Yes, I am evil.
The following is from Theresa at Hungry Heart Anxious Bottom: A meme that has been making the rounds. It's shown up on a few other blogs as well. The idea is to copy and paste to your own blog and bold the things you have done. If you don't "blog," share it with your friends.

Aaaaaaaaak! I love my apple, but it apparently does not love everyone's blog ;-( None of your meme items are bold for me...which numbers are bold?
Love your blog and stories - and I quilt, too! I often wonder if we are at the same shows.
My email is in the upper right corner of the page. Send me an email and I'll mail the meme items to you.
And you quilt? Wonderful! I go to very few shows but I do attend a few.
Glad you enjoy the stories; thanks.

Sar! Love it, love it!! You are so good to David. Without a wife of his own the poor man must feel so neglected. You (well your friend) just wanted him to know you were thinking of ways to make him smile.
I am so happy you did the meme! I tried it too once I got home. And yes being in their line of fire in surely comparable to a combat zone! And what it there problem with tattoos? I mean the fake kind. Our men need to get a sense of humor!!
Come by when you have time and see what I got for my birthday. I guess I can’t complain about him too much!
Love,
Cassie
Sar, thanks for doing that meme, thus we get to know more about our friends.
Pink with gold speckles, David is going to be pleased. I can't remember is he a Marine or a Navy Seal, either way I hope that none of his comrades see it, he could get an unenviable reputation.
Hope that you enjoyed the past festivities and not too many food fights.
Warm hugs,
Paul. aka (zealous voyeur)
Sar,
Thanks for doing the meme, I love learning more about all my blogger friends.
Now about blaming Allie for all the stuff at David's, let's see a show of hands of those who think Cowboy is going to buy that story. Yeah, me neither. But it's a great story and I'd stick to it if I were you!
Hugs,
PK
Heh, hubby, while in AIT, was ordered once to spend the weekend painting the First Sgts office, and when he asked what color was told "whatever they have in supply". Supply had paint for housing as well- inlcuding pink and hot pink for girls rooms. Hubby had a LOT of fun. I later combined the incident with a few of my own escapades into a spanking short story called "Painting Tops Office". *wide evil grin*
