ship-jumper's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mattress Moves- Get Jiggy Wid-It So enough time has passed and everyone feels that means they won't be embarrassed any longer. Yep. Mom and auntie poolagirl were here almost a month ago, and I am still laughing over some of the things we did and shared. One can't help but wish they had a stock of Depends when the three of us get together. Add CK (Kel) into the mix, and it is even more of a hoot! Given that Kel and I utilized the spare room as an office, and put too much in there to allow for an air mattress on the floor, we opted not to have poolie sleep in there. We decided that the best place for the air mattress space wise that would allow for some privacy would be the front room that we use as a library. Now, there is a slight issue with that room. Given the age of this house there are some, shall we say, slanted floors. This is an old Victorian House that was built in the 1920's. It has its areas of "character." The library is one of these areas. Given that was technically a porch at one time, with wall to wall windows, it has probably been neglected some over the years and has a massive slant. When you walk 'in' you feel like you are walking 'down' in a sense. All of the furniture in there has been shimmed ever so precisely by yours truly so as to create the feel that things really are not at such a tilt. However. This is poolagirl we're talking about. We know her history of getting hurt in normal day to day activities. Given that I can't really shimmy an air mattress, God only knows the position we would find her in come morning. She would most likely be sandwiched up against the wall. Trust me folks.....I know how she sleeps.....I have pictures to prove her strange contorted and flailing ways in bed....and she THINKS I won't post those! Being the good hostesses we are, we of course gave her our room to use while she was here. And of course that meant she got Ipo too, as Ipo freaked out at the movement of the air mattress. Besides, she likes to sleep high up, just as any princess, so poolie got my dog too. Anyway. One would think that blowing up an air mattress would be an easy task with the new fangled equipment they include with them now days. This one came with its own internal pump that allowed one to just step up and down on it and it would blow up. No huffing and puffing trying to blow it up yourself, and no driveling of drool as you try to wrap your big lips around those tiny little plastic air thingies. One would think. Not us. We can't do anything the easy way. All three of us broke a sweat trying to pump this thing up. We tried and tried and tried, but that thing just stayed flat. Of course we found out ten minutes later that there was a little cap that we had to remove so that the pump could actually suck air IN to the damn thing. Once we figured that out....it was quite fun and we all again took turns. Here is my wonderful and beautiful wife Kel doing HER impression of pumping up an air mattress. Take note, and apply these techniques next time you have an out of town guest! It's a bad quality video. I had never used the feature on my camera before. Kel hates it.... Sigh. I may end up on the couch once she sees I posted this! 8:05 p.m. - 2007-10-30 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
