I was invited to a media reception at Kenmore's new live studio in Chicago tonight. Ty Pennington was there. Ty's on my list. You know, my list...
I was all set to go and while I was there, I planned on asking him to marry me. Or build me a house. Or come live with me in said house. And he'd be so impressed by my stellar home improvement skills, that he wouldn't be able to resist. But alas, I goofed up and dropped the ball yesterday which set in motion the events that made it impossible for me to attend tonight.
I was supposed to join in a chat for Goodnites on Gather.com last night. I got confused on my days and totally missed it. I also thought we had gymnastics then hockey at 7:00. I came home from gymnastics, made dinner and sat around eating and talking with the kids until I realized that we had baseball at 6:00 and it was 6:20. Oops. Being a little late never killed anyone, right?
So, because I had completely missed my chat last night, I needed to make it up tonight. The chat was fun. Missing Ty was not. Then again, I don't know that I could handle anymore ADHD males in this house.
But if I HAD seen him, he would've been totally impressed by my use of duct tape, yarn, and a cheap shower curtain to fix my shower door! See?
Oh yeah! I rock! The kids can't break anything that I can't fix!
I like to call those kind of fixes "artistic".

You can't marry him, you don't own a tanning bed ;)
ReplyDeleteI think the 'door' is very ingenius! Well done! :)
Loving the creativew solution. But why does the phrase "Tim the Toolman Taylor" spring to mind?
ReplyDeleteHugs Dawn.
You are the QUEEN!! Right about now you should be grunting, growling and pounding your chest...Tim Allen style! Just don't start blowing things up. :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a website called "There, I Fixed it". You should check it out and submit your photo of the shower. Very creative....Sharon
ReplyDeleteDid I miss something? What the heck happened to your shower door? Or should I even ask?
ReplyDeleteDuct tape is so versatile that you could probably have constructed a whole new shower with it!
I hope your kids don't read this...they might consider it a challenge.
ReplyDeleteLike you need another challenge:}
Hi Dawn, I love your creativity. I have been known as Lady McGuyver. I tend to find ways of fixing things too :) I Love this saying " Silence is Golden, Duct Tape is Silver. LOL Kristine in Michigan.
ReplyDeleteI am truly impressed by your ingenuity! That's awesome! I think you need to come to my house, I have a few small repairs that need attention!

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MISSED TY PENINGTON!!! Btw, my brother totally looks like him!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust thinking of you and thought I'd pass this along. http://www.cozi.com/
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you heard of a site called http://repairclinic.com ? It's awesome for helping people figure out how to do typical household repairs.
Not that your shower door isn't wonderful, I meant for other things around the house, like dishwashers and washing machines. :D
Hope you're having a great day!

DH always says "if you can't fix it, duct it!"
