I sat down tonight to write about the big RV that we bought. We are in the middle of absolutely gutting it. Today we unbolted and pulled all the furniture out. After all the contact paper is pulled inch by inch from the walls, we’re ripping up the cheap, white, fake stone patterned linoleum.

About the contact paper, when I say “inch by inch” I really mean it. It is an annoying, tedious and difficult process that involves a heat gun, a scraper and a painful thumb and forefinger. After we started, we decided to consult mother internet to see if there was a way to make things easier. All sources basically said, “just leave it alone”. We weighed all of our options, and we went with the most painful in the short term but the best choice in the long run. It was just so gross, just knowing it would still there if we painted over it gave both of us the creeps.

Think of the weird thick white wallpaper with mauve and blue cloud puffs in your dentist’s office. Now add in the thought of elderly heavyset, pasty, unhealthy people with tissue boxes everywhere cooking hot dogs and showing the “neighbors” at the campground pictures of the grandkids. We just had to get that crap off the walls.

Things I also wanted to write about but now I’m tired:

1. Baseball

2. Buying a camera off of Ebay from New Orleans and then getting an email from the person saying that he had lost everything. Just so you know that I’m not a complete idiot for buying something off of Ebay from a city that was going to be under water before the auction was over, the seller had his city listed as “Orleans”. After a debate with Andy about whether it was “New Orleans” or not and an internet search showing that there are many cities in the US called “Orleans” I decided to bid, and won.

3. Greeny my blankey I had when I was a kid.

4. People that I have seen in the past week mistreating their kids and how I felt I needed to say or do something.

If you want me to elaborate on any of these last four topics…..comment.
