LOL. I thought of that but the button that changes the channels on the satellite box is messed up. Actually, it's missing.
So change the channel directly on the TV or cable box (whichever applies).
I just did three boxes. Toss it, Give it to Vinnies, and Keep it. And made sure that the Keep it box was the smallest. 
This is the part that drove me nuts. Hated the doors, and the only place the bed could go was next to it. So you constantly were getting stuck on the knobs. There was only a foot between the side of the bed and the doors. Prepare for the ugliness you are about to see:

Want me to clean your closets Tiff? This is what happens, they just go away.

Good evening folks!
Had a pretty decent day today. The mancave night didnt go as smoothly as I had hoped. When I opened up my beer fridge, my beer was warm. Upon closer inspection, the coils that make up the bottom of the freezer were covered in a chunk of ice. I dont mean a little bot of frost either, I mean, ice cube hard ice. And so much of it, I couldnt remove the drip tray under it. So I wedged a few cans so they would stay on the ice while in the freezer, and in 20 minutes, I had cold beer and it was melting the ice! After doing that over and over, I was able to melt down all of the ice that was inside the little freezer box and keep myself in cold beer all night. I will say that as the evening progressed, my "driving" skills actually got better. I figured since it was getting so good, I needed to drink more beer. At some point, my new found "skill juice" started to fail me though.
Since I was no longer able to play the game effectively, I decided to take a small propane heater and place it in front of the fridge with a fan behind it to blow the heat in without having to put the heater close enough to the fridge to melt the plastic. (who says alcohol makes you stupid?). After an hour, I was able to remove the ice in two large chunks, and the beer fridge is now doing very well at providing me with frosty cold adult beverages once again.
Mrs E and the kids let me sleep in until I got woke up by a large purple tongue right across my face. Charli was apparently tired of me being in bed. Got up, shaved and showered, and decided to use one of those "as seen on tv" mini snakes to try to unclog our slow draining sink. I have now passed legislation that no one with hair longer than 2 inches will be able to brush, or style their hair at or near a sink. The ball of the most "wonderful" stuff I pulled out of that drain was a single mass of hair and god knows what, that was about the size of a golfball. Yum.
While shaving, I did find out that my cheek is still a bit tender. Though some how, I have been able to manage to not get a bruise. Still have the stitches from the ball imprinted on my face though. I guess all of those years sparring with an amateur MMA fighter ( read as "all those years as being a life sized punching bag) helped for something!
We went and took Kat to have her team pix taken. Then took her to my Dad's house to spend the night. Then we went to downtown Clover to walk around. They were having their annual Clover Fest. Its not what most people think of as a town festival, but they do have like a car show. I'll post a link to a few of the pix I took. Then we came home and commenced Operation Lazy A$$es and took naps.
Now its time to start the grill for dinner. Marinated boneless skinless chicken, with green peas cooked in butter and garlic salt, and yellow rice with saffron with a little bit of italian dressing to give it a little kick.

You had to close them in just the right sequence or they opened right back up. Quite warped. blech.
Yes, pleeeease come do my closets. I'm ok with them disappearing because that means all the junk in them will go too. Love that wall decoration hanging up!
Ta Da! (paint color looks weird on the computer)

Why yes. Yes I was.Is James working on his book now? He's still here but not talking.
Thanks Tiff! I think it's pretty spiffy for a spare room. Not too girly to scare male guests.

Sounds like a fun and relaxing day! Especially the nap part.

OMG....How many more hours??
I'm good. A little nervous, but I am sure I will relax as soon as the auction is over. I should have placed a larger bid, I went $155. It's at $151.Darn, I hate having to pay for this.
YAY!!!! for vacation...
I always hope for a visit from the cleaning fairy. No luck so far.
I do what I can!
VACATION!!!
Oooh! Is that the one that comes with the 2 hunks???
And that reminds me I need to reassemble the door frame to the stairway. I had to take it off to get Ian's boxspring downstairs, and haven't summoned up the motivation to put it back yet.
BEA U Ti FULL.....

Thanks Stretchy! It's amazing how much bigger the room is by adding that 2 x 10 section into the living space.
