Reporting in with sore thumbs...

[kseenaa]

I am sore and achy in places i didn't think possible... o.O Painting a house is hard work (and we did only half, maybe...). My thumbs ache. Thats new. :-P

But it was a success. And what we painted looks great! It also became quite clear that me and my brother lives totally different lifes. He came to my mom's at around 6:45am both days waking us up complainging that we were such sleepyheads. He gets up around 5:30am each morning, or earlier. Thats life out on the country when you work on a farm. Me, I have turned into a city-girl. I like to sleep in. Something my brother constantly tease me about. He even treateend to throw a bucket of cold water over me if I didn't get up. I got up pretty quickly then, let me tell you! And Peting was no help, sleepy him to, but he still joined in with my brother. Men. :-P Mom was no help either. They are all in collusion against him. I am just saying.

So, even if it was hard work, the days went by quickly, and the work we did turned out great, it really did. Even my brother, work-o-holic that he is, thought we did a great job. All three of us was suprised we managed to get so much done in only two days. And mom was so grateful she got teary-eyed.

So, even if it was hard work, it left a good feeling for me. Especially since I could help mom a bit with her house to. My brother does a lot, since he lives closest. Me, I have a two hour drive to get there. He has 15-20 minutes. I still have a guilty conscience over the fact I don't help her enough.

We didn't get home until around 11pm last night and then up early to work today. Urgh... I was not amused at all. I collapsed on the sofa and Peting on the bed for about two hours when we got home today. But I think we were worth it. :-)

spicehobbit pimped a bloody wonderful story from the Sweeney Tood fandom yesterday! I read it today, and it was one of those fics that makes perfect sense. Whatever happend to the one that survived after the end of the movie? Beware of sadness and darkness... But it is worth it so very very much.... From Mothers and Fathers Come Sons.

By the way, spicehobbit, here is a pimp for some icons for you. I bet chigrima would like them to. ;-)
Batch of icons with Kingdom Hearts, Sweeney Todd and Pirates of the Caribbean...

Amused me with a test some time ago... Who knew, eh? :-)



Time for bed. :-) Hope everyone had a grand weekend!

Thank you! :-D

And yes it did. :-) Gladly. I am surprised myself it all worked out so well.

My sympathies for the aching body parts... Painting a house isn´t funny, but it needs to be done once in a while. Does P still want a house of his own? ;-)

Glad you liked the story i pimped. Obviously it was written a while ago, cause the author left me a note, being surprised that people still read it. :-D

OMG! Cupcake icons! How... fluffy... *swoons*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Strangely he does, the insane man... *sigh* I am still saying, NO WOODEN HOUSE thank you very much... :-P I guess it has to do with that he grew up in an apartment in the city, and hence want a house. I am thinking that is the reason. *shrug* We'll see what the future brings.

Oh, I liked it very very much! :-D And if it is a story I like, I pimp it. Thats just the way I work. ;-)

Painting is definitely hard work... Tell Peting brick houses is the way to go! *grins*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am working on that. :-D And I think I have gotten that far. Considering I refuse to move to a house that is not made of bricks. ;-D He got no choice then, does he? ;-)

[anapana.livejournal.com]

Oh I do sympathize with you! Early mornings are not my cup of tea. And some people just can't understand that!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Well, he had been up for quite long, so for him it was midday! Insane farmers, I tells ya'!

[chigrima.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the tip! ^_^( I'm not dead, I'm just working! ;-) )

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

So I was told. :-P I still miss you, ya' know. I am very happy you got a job though. :-) Hope it is a good one.

Glad you liked the icons I found. As usually I have no life and spend way to much time here.

By the way, I hope Silvy didn't get to hurt the other day? It is just that... *shakes head* You and how you phrase yourself... ;-) Freudian slip? ;-) Anyway. Glad things are going good on ze island. For you all. :-)

(That includes the cats...)

It's a very jood job. ^_^ I love it, but darn, I am tired then I get home!

Not hurt, just slightly vexed that you just won't let the matter drop. ;-) We DO actually know that kind of relationship we have, and is neither in denial nor in the closet.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Well, it amuses me. :-) And I am very easily amused, as you know. What you do, and how you do it. Your business. But I can still be amused, can't I? :-)

[chigrima.livejournal.com]

I'd never be insulted, dear. But remember tht not everyone likes peple to joke about their relationships, or lack therof. ;-)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is mostly how you phrase things, dear. ;-) That is what amuses me most. :-) But I'll be a good girl. Or try to at least. *nod* I don't wanna hurt people, after all. I am just very blunt and harsh sometimes. It is how I am, although I do try to stop it sometimes. *nod* You might wanna warn that other woman over there about that. ;-)
