As of today, though, another woman has come to live with us, and I think she may actually be his dream come true. Like me, she's a carrot-top. Her name is Deborah, like the wise woman who was an Israelite judge. For years my husband pleaded with me to allow her to come to our house. Finally, I consented, knowing how much it meant to him.
Meet Deborah, who just arrived:
Actually, she'll only be with us for two weeks. Then I'm kicking her out. And it'll be up to me to fulfill my husband's dreams again.
But for now, Deborah is living with us. She looks right at home, don't you think?
(In case you're wondering, Deborah's here to collect all the non-recyclable JUNK that has piled up in our closets, our attics, our cupboards, our garage. She's going to gain a lot of weight while she's here!)
Does having Deborah there mean you're cleaning and tossing stuff or does it mean there is construction going on?
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that you look much to young to have been married 25 years !! And, that dumpster must mean you either have serious cleaning or serious home improvements about to commence. Either way, yay(!) for you! *Becca*
ReplyDeleteI'm with Tanya...what's going on? Can you send Deborah here so I can toss some stuff in? ;) My interest is piqued!
ReplyDeleteLooks like something big is about to go down! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too funny!
ReplyDeleteNow, you are going to do some serious cleaning. I think I need one of those. Carla
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say that is one thing my husband's never asked for! Wish he would--as long as he used it on his garage!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. I think I need a Deborah, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! The thoughts that were running through my tiny brain! :) Wow, you must be going to do some serious cleaning out!! :)
ReplyDeleteDeborah is a cutie but no where as cute as you! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Wow! You guys are doing some serious purging! Go you! How long have you lived in that house?
ReplyDeleteMy gosh you must have some stuff if you need a 'Deborah' THAT big!!! Will we get to see what you 'throw in to her' ;-)

Thats so cute. ;-) Deborah, Hi! haha. We just finished clearing our house out of JUNK! I am still in the process of clearing out our bedroom. :) But we had 2 skips worth!!! Of just junk, and rubbish. But we cleaned out our Courtyard, which we are going to pave, and also our Garage too. :) So it really helps! You will feel much lighter, and great when you get it all done. :) Too bad about the weight deborah will gain though! Bhahaha. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave fun! :)

I can not believe that you have that much stuff hiding in your house that you have to have Deborah come and stay at your house for two weeks!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you are not remodeling? LOL!
You must have something big going on at your house. Can't wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! you are going to some serious tossing!! make sure you don't throw out one of the kids :) love you!
ReplyDeleteThis just makes me LAUGH! I love it..think of what you will clear out. Deborah is a beauty!!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a brave, brave woman to admit that she backed a bright orange dumpster up to her house not for renovations, not in preparation for a move, but just to clean out the junk. ;) You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteGood luck cleaning out stuff!
ReplyDeleteDeborah is a lovely shade of orange. Hopefully she doesn't overstay her welcome. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThis is funny, I like how you named her, lol.
