Days 96-97: Snakey-Boy and Garbage Disposal; Bubble Boy Bungalow

Snakey-boy is here! Our beautiful KWC pull-down faucet was installed by MFP (My Favorite Plumber). Snakey-boy was a cartoon character created by Secondo many years ago; he’s a pit viper with a chef’s hat and a heart of gold. He fed the homeless, made birthday cakes, and only bit those who deserved it. And only with warning. He always gave the thumbs-up at the end of one of his escapades. I wanted a pull-down faucet in my Atlanta kitchen, and when we went to look at them, the Bambinos immediately named it Snakey-Boy. We never did get one there, but we have one here. Lookity –

On the right is the garbage disposal. I’m SO thrilled to have it.

Because the steel shelf under the television was installed into the stone fireplace, we had a little more of that blown-apart effect in the house today. When the stoneworkers removed the television from the fireplace wall, Mr. Foodbabe could feel it all the way down in the city. Nooooooooooooooooooo ……………….. And because of the dust, the area was sealed in again, like so:

We call it our Bubble Boy Bungalow.

Propane Update: My tank-pad was inadequate, so no propane was delivered. We’re working on it; should be here on Friday morning. Then, I cook.
Dinner Party Update: Eight guests, and counting.
Firstie Update: Eight days till he comes home for five whole weeks.
Secondo Update: Electric guitar procured from friend. Hilarity ensued. Also eardrum damage.

I’m still smiling about the garbage disposal. I’d kept some leftover Chinese food for a few weeks, just for this occasion. I pushed it in, left it uncovered, pressed the button and watched it spin away to the land of pet alligators.

With this, I sign myself
Easily Amused,
