Instead of on his bedroom floor!
The above photo was taken Monday, the day UPS delivered the new "performance" exhaust system for my son's car.
Yesterday he ordered the headers and the catalytic converter. Hopefully, they will arrive this week. And hopefully, somebody will be home when they arrive.
In the meantime -- he is away this afternoon (getting that haircut, I still hope) and the car parts are no longer in the living room, but are on the floor of his bedroom. The bedroom door was shut, the lights were out, the sun has gone down, Mom is going into his room to put away his clothes that I just washed.
DANG! I forgot about the car parts on the floor. And they GOT me!
Hmmm - I wonder if I can put all of the spare computer parts under my husband's car? *ponders*
ReplyDeleteROFL!
ReplyDeleteBefore he took up this project, he was tearing apart and then building a computer. I have computer parts stored now in the basement.
"Under the car," you say. Hmmmm. *visualizes*
*grin* I have them EVERYWHERE! I married a geek - or is it a nerd? Whatever. Stuff is everywhere.
ReplyDeleteMy husband collects books, magazine and newspaper articles, little snatches of paper with quondam quotes from forever and beyond, radios, books, radios, little snatches of paper, (I don't usually post THOSE photographs, but maybe sometime I will.) BOOKS! (I love books, but sheesh, I live in a LIBRARY!) Oh yeah, cassette tapes, cassette players, CLOCKS ... I could go on and on.
ReplyDeleteFriends of ours can no longer eat in their dining-room because they have books and magazines piled on the table, along the walls and on the chairs. They've been saying for the past four years that they will clean it up, but from one visit to the next, it's still growing.
ReplyDeleteThe one good thing is that they are the best people in the world, are charming and witty and they keep the living-room tidy with plenty of room to sit.
When my husband was a bachelor, his dining room looked like that. His obsession is to collect. Mine is to categorize and put away. If he leaves it laying around, I'll find a place for it. This endearing quality of mine inspires him to keep his stuff in bookshelves and file cabinets. Because if I shelf his books they'll be dewey decimal, and if I file his papers, they'll be alphabetical by topic. And then he will never be able to find a thing, he says.
ReplyDeleteHA! My kind of gal!! dewey and alphabetized! :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can totally relate to the picture you posted:
