Worship in the garage, bring your saw

I want to be handy....
I want to have saws and tools and know how to use them...(I really want to be her http://manditremayne.blogspot.com)
I am teaching my girls that "handy" should be on the top of the list in things to look for in a husband...
I didn't question Mike thoroughly enough on that before the wedding!

Today is a good example of how I wish I was handy and had tools....and how things seem to be just a little crazy on our weekends lately...

I get a call first thing this morning from Katie's BFF's family... she knows I am a fan of anything old and I had mentioned to her I was looking for a set of old theater seats...
She asks me if I would like an old church pew and a set of theater seats in perfect condition.
YES.... Yes, I would...
She tells me to get on over to her church...

So, I throw on some clothes, try to make my hair not look like I haven't showered yet but it didn't work, grab my cup of coffee and open the garage door to see that someone has left us some nice, soft toilet paper on the driveway as well as some friendly messages on both of our cars...
And I felt like "sexy driver" and "yo my lov*r" were maybe not the message I wanted on my car when I drove up to a church...
So, I did a little window cleaning and picking up of the TP...there wasn't much toilet paper to clean up seeing that we have no trees....
I did leave the roll inside the door handle for embarrassment purpose of the girls...it worked well...

Katie had been at the BFF's house last night and I felt sure that they were the culprits... they were fast to explain to me that no looser would TP their own house...

                  She also explained that they did not have any fruity cereal to leave on the grass...


I think some of her dance friends may have been the culprit...

But, back to the church...
I get there to find Marci with my pew and theater seats already loaded into their truck bed.  And hanging out about 6 feet because she found me the longest church pew ever made as well as 6 theater seats that don't come apart. 
Katie was appalled that we might drive with this hanging out of the truck and a pair red shorts tied on for a flag...
She wanted to document the crazy...

I ended up not taking the seats since they were so big...
But if you care to worship with me, I have a very long pew waiting to be cut down in the garage...
If you are handy or have tools call me.  Please.  I can trade you a nice pair of red shorts....
