Analysis paralysis

This is a phrase coined by my little sister about her husband. We now have it too. We thought we would get the fireplace revamped and put in wood floors before everyone comes for Mary’s birthday. We are completely stuck on how to lay the tiles on the fireplace. We spent a good part of the weekend looking at it –drawing it out and I think we are still at square 1. So now Jim is thinking about just doing it himself and if he doesn’t like it tearing it back out and starting over. I just hope everything isn’t torn up for her party!

We were on our own this weekend, Courtney went to Oklahoma for a horse show Saturday morning so I had dog duty, Jim had horse duty - Mary, Hopey & I went out to help him. Hopey keeps biting the horse’s noses sometimes she does not listen very well! Courtney did well at the show, won two ribbons not bad for the first time out. Mary is walking everywhere!

I am amazed. I didn't see one word about the Broncos or Cowboys. Is your TV broke? As proven by the last two weeks time is running out on the Broncos. Why did you spend al weekend trying to lay out tile? Do you not have a father who is a fully licensed General Contractor? Do you think I had someone take the test for me? Have Jim call me and I can tell him on the phone how to lay it out.

Oh he knows how to lay it out we are stuggling with the design - what size tile to use, straight or diagonal etc.

Oh and thank GOD I did not watch the Bronco game seeing the score flash across during the Cowboy game was enough stress.
