I don't know how it's possible, but it's past 9AM and I just realized it's still dark outside. And I need coffee. Coffee is a great gift when you've stayed up too late, like a silly school girl. Except I wasn't watching TV or doing homework or even talking on the phone. No, I decided that I had some 'extra' time and volunteered to help J-Bomb with a tiling project. She's in a major home renovation time crunch as she is departing the country shortly for a very cool job somewhere where healthcare is not such a big deal.
And a very entertaining evening it was. K-Bomb and one of his kittehs were the only ones to take notice of my arrival. Eventually, Smnt, J-Bomb's imported new squeeze, finished cutting tile in the garage and on his way to deliver said tile for installation he noticed K-Bomb's interest in the front door. See how handy it is to have a search dog in your life? They are very intuitive.
Though I came dressed to get dirty, I was designated the 'clean' person and my main duty was to keep kittehs and mournful looking doggies out of the workspace. I also proved to be handy at sweeping floors, adjusting lights, and eating cheesecake. Damn good cheesecake. Smnt's baking skills possibly rival my own. Very impressive.
While I planned to return home to finish an assignment due today, I found the tiling work so mesmerizing that I couldn't leave until it was done. Also, I think J-Bomb would not have appreciated the cheerleader leaving in the fourth quarter. The floor looks great and will be ready for grouting tonight. Too bad I've got class tonight. But I know who I'm going to call when I have a need to retile something.

I hear the shower looks awesome with the granite tile. I am sad that I am not there to see it but suspect that it might be nice to come in and be dazzled all at once than have to admire it as it all comes together sloooowwwwwlllly.
