September 12, 2010 Sunday Night

Friday night we watched the movie The Back Up Plan. It was an OK movie. Kinda knew what to expect and it was entertaining. Went to bed around 10:30 PM. I now have a huge raccoon that comes and eats the food that I put out for the rabbit. The last couple of night the raccoon has come in the back yard and eat bread. It is the largest raccoon I have ever seen. It seems the rabbit leaves the yard when the raccoon or possum show up. It can hear them coming. The rabbit sits there for a while with it's ears up and then runs across the alley into another yard. A little while later the raccoons or possum show up. The rabbit is always back during the night when I look out the window.

Saturday we were suppose to go to a car show at the nursing home my grandma living at. Since it was raining the car show was put off until Tuesday night. Tony worked on the bathroom placing tile. I worked on hanging the flat screen TV in the bathroom. He also buried the wires behind the plaster which really turned out good. No cords or cable in sight. The 16 tile he put up started to come off the wall around dinner time. He used a cement. I tiled the other bathroom a year or so ago and used a pre mixed, ready to use adhesive and the tiles stayed as they should. He was not happy that he had wasted an afternoon to have all his tiles coming down. I told him he should have used what I used when I tiled the other bathroom, but since he didn't ask when he was tiling, I thought he knew what he was doing. That and if I had suggested my adhesive he would have still thought his cement was better. Well, by the end of the night he took off the couple tiles that had not fallen. There was nothing on TV last night so we spent the night watching old Alfred Hitchcock shows on the old TV channel. Went to bed around 10:30 PM and my rabbit was eating carrots I left out for him.

This morning we were both awake and reading the Sunday Milwaukee Journal by 7 AM. I put out some donuts for breakfast. By 10:30 we were both showered and ready to leave the house to go to a car show and Hobo to buy the adhesive I used when I tiled the other bathroom a year ago. After buying the adhesive at Hobo on our way to one car show we drove buy another and of course Tony had to stop. Thank goodness it was not a large show. We then went to the other car show on the south side of town. It was too many cars and I just wanted to get home and start tiling the bathroom again. Another weekend was not going to go by without some tile going up an those damn walls. We got home a little after 1 PM and after getting on some closes I could get dirty I started tiling the walls that Tony started yesterday but did not have luck. We then started working side by side. He would put the adhesive on the tile and I would put the tile up with the spacers. I told him it was lake frosting a cake putting the adhesive on the tiles. He also was the one who cut the tiles to the sizes I said to cut them to. We ended up getting two of the three walls that need tiling. I put up 62 tiles today and they look great. I will still have to grout when the tile are completely dry. I will work on the third wall this week. It is the hardest of the walls because a lot of tile will have to be cut around the toilet and sink. Sometimes I must say I surprise myself how good I can complete a household task and how clueless Tony can be. Do the men just play dumb so they don't have to do the project? Ordered some Dominoes Pizzas for dinner. They were OK. After Big Brother on TV tonight we will watch a movie I downloaded and go to bed shortly after that. We both are in pain from the tiling today. I will be 50 years old next year. I can't believe the pain one feels after they do hard work at this age. For those of you younger, enjoy it while you can. For those of you older, you know what I mean.
