Who put this shit in my garage......

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

except from Maya Angelou "Phenomenal Woman"

this  is what my daughter and I say to Big Daddy and Braham all the time...

"Girls do Rule"  picture taken on the streets of North Carolina...I could not resist snapping it.

It is Saturday morning and I've been doing some blog reading "catch-up" or if I am quite truthful which I try to be...

I have been avoiding getting dressed and going to the Garage.

Big Daddy has always had a yard sale every year since the kids were small.  For the past two years, Big Daddy's job has not allowed him the time nor the energy to sort and sale our old stuff.  No problem you might think...

wrong...

We can no longer walk in our garage.

You open the door and it all hits you.

boxes stacked,

stuffed toys sticking out,

microwaves,

coats,

boxes,

printers,

a Christmas tree...

shit

piles and piles of shit

our shit

stuff we don't need anymore

stuff we have outgrown and

stuff we really don't want or need.

I have no idea what is there and I'm kinda scared to find out.

I told Big Daddy that Braham and I were going to clean it out today.  Braham just came home from his cousins house and he has already gone back to bed to take a nap.  Madi has gotten up, eaten and now she and the Cecil Dog from Hell are back in bed...

and

me...

Perfect me

has been sitting here on the couch now for three hours drinking and reading and now writing.

I don't want to get started.

I am scared of what I might find...

and

I really don't know where to begin.

I swear when I clean it out this time

I'm going to rope it off

as reserved space...

perhaps,

I'll create myself one of those

"women caves"

I'll move my painting supplies and writing supplies and my

collection of weird crap

out there and claim the space

as

Holy Sacred Woman space....

Girls do rule!

Right!

anyway....I hope your Saturday is funner than mine...There is shit...someones shit....probably "i don't know whose this is" stuff

and "not mine" all stacked up in a nice pile,

mountains and mountains of Miller shit...

anybody in need of something.....give me a ring...It may be out there who know.

so without further delay...

I will now have to say...

so long,

farewell...

if you don't hear from me...

somebody Call 911...

I'll be suffocating in the piles of garage crap....

Happy Saturday!
