VII: the haircut<span style="font-size: large;">What the hell am I doing on this blog again?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought Mom turned in the keys to this old jalopy?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And what's up with this CornBread-19 thing? I personally love CornBread, but I've never been allowed to have 19 of them unless no one was looking. And I don't see what the fuss is all about, except it means my Hoomans are home constantly, and a girl can't get a decent haircut anymore.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom tried to do <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2016/11/the-empty-bowl.html" target="_blank">Eddie's</a> hair once upon a time, but decided there are certain DIYs that she's not cut out for. You see what I did there? So, like an actual smart person, she donated the doggie clippers...about five minutes before the CornBread-19 thing started heating up. And my beauty shop shut down.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But I'm a hairy beast and I need some attention!</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you still there?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you keeping your fingers out of other people's noses?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you refraining from licking the canned corn at Wal-Mart?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Are you dug in like an Alabama tick? We are! Like two of them, actually, and getting fatter by the minute. I expect us to burst any moment now.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I know I've been absent for a very long time, and I was doubtful I would ever be back. But, circumstances dictate otherwise!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple years ago, I went back to work full-time, and that was the beginning of the steady decline of this here little piece of heaven on earth. But, since the worldwide CoronaCation has begun, I find myself with extra wine on my hands, and the need to boss Philly around. Fear not! I'm using my powers for good!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While I'm still working full-time (from home), I can start my day much earlier, because I no longer have a commute, and showers are optional. My bras are all on sabbatical until this is over. As are all depilatory devices. My moustache/nose hair combo should be in full bloom by the time I go back to the office. I can't wait.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But hey! Let's talk about how to build a wall! Actually, there are a ton of tutorials out there for doing what we did, and this is nothing original. Just like those thin mint cookies I just ate. Seriously. What happened to those?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of you remember where this wall started. A long time ago.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Awww...Eddie's rope toy! Miss you, buddy!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>

VI: happy wanderer<span style="font-size: large;">Greetings, blog people!</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm a Scorpio, and I love long walks through the neighbors' lawns where I can poop in large quantities so they know I've been thinking about them.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And exactly what I've been thinking about them.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">AND, if the vet has it right, and I'm really nine years old, that would put me in the Year of the Ox on the Chinese zodiac.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Silence, whippersnappers.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom's friend (<a href="http://andrea-maybeitsjustme.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">the other Andrea</a>) asked why she hasn't posted on the blog in a long time, and Mom blamed it on...whatever.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then there was something about no motivation or inspiration. And some crap about candy. So her friend sent her this:</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNiweFepV8gzFhAL05qMMnEyv4idkXT_EHbPFyd9LTyIagSOifRxgtHkkLFIwxwto-yPhJ02MCwb-ansAWczu_R6LurBstGKfF8_hZWjgbhJQz0gR3ELq9bVbQRzhQPOKAI6GQdqottcCP/s1600/candy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1226" data-original-width="1052" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNiweFepV8gzFhAL05qMMnEyv4idkXT_EHbPFyd9LTyIagSOifRxgtHkkLFIwxwto-yPhJ02MCwb-ansAWczu_R6LurBstGKfF8_hZWjgbhJQz0gR3ELq9bVbQRzhQPOKAI6GQdqottcCP/s640/candy.jpg" width="548"></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">Mom felt so inspired that she promptly started to eat the candy and told ME to write a post or she'd make me live outside the rest of my life. Without candy.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Woof. I am Gracie.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you know <a href="https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2007/02/is-pronunciation-your-forte.html" target="_blank">forte is pronounced "fort," and not "for-tay"</a>? While "for-tay" is a widely-accepted pronunciation, if you love being right (at the cost of your only friend thinking you are an idiot), pronounce it "fort." It's a great conversation starter.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">It's really not a great conversation starter.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wine. Wine is a great conversation starter. Especially if you are talking to yourself. I have tons of experience with this, so let me know if you need some pointers.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought this chair ra-cheer.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm pointing out the three-year layer of dust, because people always seem to notice it anyway, and think I'm completely oblivious.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did things a little bassackwards with this project, in that I showed you part of the finished product prior to demonstrating the carnival of chaos this room once was. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But here's a little glimpse of cuteness before we get to that:</span><br>

Old ones, too, right?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's no secret that with pretty much everything I do, I enjoy it more once I've established a deep, meaningful relationship with someone in my current wine collection.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, the cat's out of the bag meow, at any rate.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We've put the finishing touches on our tiny laundry room, and I'm going to share my cabinet with you today. While it's not technically a liquor cabinet, I suppose you could use it in any capacity you see fit. I'm actually using it for its intended purpose, which is to hold laundry stuff, because I don't need to hide my alcohol yet.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are lots of cute l<span style="font-family: inherit;">au</span>ndry d</span><span style="background-color: #f6f4ee; color: #221924;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">é</span></span><span style="font-size: large;">cor ideas out there, but none of them really suited my fancy, so I made up my own.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You may be picking up on a theme on this blog.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Most laundry loads are broken out into two major categories, right? Whites (or lights) and darks.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It just so happens my wines of choice are broken out in the exact same way! I decided to incorporate my favorite drinking buddies into my laundry design. I really don't think it's that much of a stretch.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But that might be the wine talking.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what I came up with:</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Of course we had a smash cake, but more on that later. Can we have a year in review? Because I certainly don't know where the time has gone! </span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;">Mom hasn't let me write a blog post since March.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">MARCH, I SAY!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But I got sick. So she's feeling a little sorry for me. As she should.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Woof. I am Gracie.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It all started on Labor Day weekend. I was minding my own business, chasing down unsavory characters in the neighborhood (my usual daily enterprise). I felt fine during the day, but in the middle of the night, I became afflicted with nausea. Naturally, I vomited on the blanket covering Mom and Dad. But I was quiet and stealthy in my vomiting, because I didn't want to disturb them.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're joining us late, you can catch up on part one of the guest bathroom <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2017/08/guest-bathroom-vanity.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">For those us who haven't already had too much to drink this morning, you might remember we left off with the vanity Phil built for <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2017/01/gracie-chronicles-vol-ii-table-dancer.html" target="_blank">The Room Where Dad Poops Every Morning</a>.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">It looks totally amazing.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But this is NOTHING compared to how this room looks now!</span><br>

I've been absent. During that absence, I switched my e-mail subscriptions over to Mailchimp, and I don't know if those apes will successfully deliver this post. To anyone. Ever. Let me know, will ya?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, I'll endeavor to write a read-worthy post and pretend there is someone out there who will at least take a peek. Otherwise, what's the point?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We've been living in our new home nearly four years now, and our guest bathroom is still unfinished. While that might sound like a terrible inconvenience, no one really likes us enough to want to be our guest in the first place. Probably because we make you bring your own beer, wine, and food, and insist you bring us a supply as well. (I like any Sauvignon Blanc as well as Apothic Dark for future reference.)</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">Or, perhaps it's because <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/search/label/gracie%20chronicles" target="_blank">Gracie</a> refers to the guest bathroom as <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2017/01/gracie-chronicles-vol-ii-table-dancer.html" target="_blank">"The Room Where Dad Poops Every Morning."</a> </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's right. There's a toilet, but unless you want to wash your hands in the bathtub (or in the toilet you just defiled), you must find an alternative soap-and-water source.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">So, why does Philly poop here instead of in our <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2014/11/master-bath-update-pottery-barn.html" target="_blank">beautiful master bath</a>? It's simple. There are two creatures indigenous to this particular bathroom that are terribly important to his "process." </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First? The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwKNjtx2H1g" target="_blank">Squatty Potty</a> (or, as I call it, the poop stool--which is a bit redundant and makes me giggle). Second is Mr. Kindle, upon which Philly ruthlessly battles Spider Solitaire while taking care of business.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been letting <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/search/label/gracie%20chronicles" target="_blank">Gracie</a> do all the heavy lifting around here lately. What little lifting has been done, anyway.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Phil and I tend to hibernate over the winter and lose all motivation to do anything and everything.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Except eat. We never lose motivation to eat. Because there's delicious wintertime comfort food to be had, and we look forward to putting on our thirty pounds of winter fat.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Each.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">At least it gives us something to bitch about come springtime.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nevertheless, I will continue to let Gracie have the run of the blog whenever she feels compelled; but, in the meantime, I have a furniture makeover for you today! And it's about bloody time, because it's for <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2016/11/reese-lynns-quilt-of-many-colors.html" target="_blank">Reese</a>, and she's already seven months old.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Holy poop-filled diapers. How did that happen so quickly? And why am I so late with this project?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">Before you know it, Reese will be old enough to see that her Grandi occasionally swears on the blog.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In my defense, the kids have been renovating an old house and they are finally getting ready to move in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not late at all, because I'm a wizard. And, as we all know, a wizard is never late, nor is she early. She arrives precisely when she means to.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, onto the buffet.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Only the finest for my grandnugget.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom promised you a furniture post, but like the good ratter I was bred to be, I nosed my way in yet again.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Personally, I find the title of this post rude and offensive. Psycho Dog. As if.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, I'm not a D-O-G. <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2017/03/gracie-chronicles-vol-iii-wonder-bred.html" target="_blank">I'm a Schnauzer</a>. You didn't know there is a difference? Yes. There's a great difference.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, Mom happens to think I'm a complete psycho when I'm in the car. I think I'm completely amazing.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Woof. I am Gracie.</span><br>

I also hope she trims my toenails soon, because it's becoming increasingly difficult to type.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She swears (a lot) that she's going to post a furniture project again soon (for that <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2016/11/reese-lynns-quilt-of-many-colors.html" target="_blank">Reese-Baby</a>, no less), but I just happen to be providing convenient blog fodder for the moment.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the lie Mom wants me to tell you so you're not mad at her for being absent from the interwebs since before December. Instead, she wants you to blame ME for her truancy. Moi. Gracie. Because I'm a dog, and she doesn't think I'm capable of revealing that lie to you gracious and kindhearted folks.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh. And she's going to force me to tell you a couple stories I'd rather not discuss.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of the Reese-Baby, Mom made this adhorrible picture of me and the Reese-Baby all smooshed together. We are a few of her favorite things, so let's see what we look like as a dog-baby stew, right?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She calls it Grace-Swap. She thinks she's so clever.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Woof. I am Greecie.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;">I made two very important stops the other month. The purpose of those stops will reveal itself shortly.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So I will wait. I will be patient, even though that is not in a Schnauzer's nature. I will give Mom, Dad, and Cat a false sense of security.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a basic assumption we can recognize an empty bowl when we see one. Sometimes that empty bowl will stare us in the face, and yet, we look beyond it.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At other times, that empty bowl will slap us in the face and demand to be recognized.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Why does everyone say "sip mimosas"? I heard these words fall out of my own mouth, and the lie echoed loudly in my ears. Let's slam mimosas. Because at least that has the ring of truth to it.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And I'll have none of that pulpy orange juice. If it doesn't flow willingly down the gullet, it tends to slow down (and, thus, ruin) the experience.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Better yet, let's make mimosas with apple cider, vodka, and bubbly. Because fall has arrived. My daughter, Emma, found <a href="http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a49432/caramel-apple-mimosas-recipe/" target="_blank">this recipe</a> and we had to try it out. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Yum yum.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love drinking with children.</span><br>

I like to call it the vomit wall, but I thought you might not have come for a visit had I called it so.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm quite sure you're all familiar with the gallery wall concept. I'm not plowing any new ground here, except for that in my own home. If you're unfamiliar with this ingenious design concept, you won't be for long.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are a minimalist and hate this type of design, continue at your own risk. You've been duly warned.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The purpose of this project was not to hide my big-ass TV. Or even my big ass. I've read quite a few posts on TV gallery walls, and the reason for their gallery was to "hide, camouflage, or disappear" the flat-screen.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Unless you hang a whale on the wall in front of my TV, you're going to see it.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Personally, I don't mind the big black blob on the wall. It helps me see Chris Hemsworth better. I do mind the endless space around the big black blob. It's a blah blob.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bob Loblaw Law Blog. You, sir, are a mouthful.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of you are aware I became a grandmother last week. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">(I'll pause here a moment to bask in the warmth of your disbelief.)</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know how it happened, but somewhere between sleeping and waking, this sweet baby boy grew up. Not that he had far to go, mind you. I swear he was using my uterus as a frat house, since he came out mostly grown at ten pounds, ten ounces.</span><br>

By himself. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Where everyone can see.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As if the neighbors didn't have enough to complain about.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's where we left off with our $437,000 deck:</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">What's that? You don't think it looks like a $437,000 deck? In all honesty, neither do I. Except for this next bit.</span><br>

You know, where you can have an artist walk you through the steps of creating a masterpiece, all while imbibing your favorite tasty alcoholic beverage? My daughter calls this the "get-drunk-and-paint-a-picture thing."</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She's a girl after my own heart.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Meet Emma. I love this picture of us. She doesn't always dress up in leopard spandex with pink and green sprouts in her hair, although she should. In fact, I like the look so much, I think I'll run out and get my own similar combo.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This picture was after her unforgettable performance as Paulette in <i>Legally Blonde</i> this summer.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She. Was. Awesome.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you'd warned me you were coming, I would have put on a bra.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span><span style="font-size: large;">Quite a few of you told me recently that you'd gone back and read some of my very early posts. Let me tell you the pain and humiliation I'm feeling right now.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm feeling pain and humiliation right now.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">True confession: When I started this blog, I had never read a blog. I didn't follow blogs. I had no idea what a blog was, beyond the fact it was a "web log," which eventually became known as a "blog."</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to document the building of our new home, and I knew if I didn't do it electronically, it was never going to happen. I am not a scrapbooker. That would require organizational (and artsificational) skills beyond my ken. Therefore, I took tentative steps into the unknown and breathed life into <i>delusions</i>. (As a side note, this little slice of heaven just had its fourth bloggiversary!)</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I posted some projects to get my feet wet and learn the ropes. One of my earliest furniture makeovers is still one of my favorites. This sassy accent table lives right next to my sofa, which, in turn, lives right behind my <a href="http://www.delusionsofingenuity.com/2016/07/me-myself-and-buffet.html" target="_blank">Neurotic Buffet</a>.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The original post makes me cringe. Thankfully, it hasn't received much attention or adulation. The original post blew chunks. But I feel this table deserves a second chance at notoriety. Won't you help a table out?</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought I'd catch you up on Phil's Summer 2016 project:</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">The $437,000 Deck</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><br></span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I may be exaggerating a wee bit, but it certainly has been pricey. Perhaps we would have gone with a more conservative plan had we realized how much of our kids' inheritance we were going to be spending.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe something like this:</span><br>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br></span>
<br>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdl1DNba9zSVpxcpd4jZtryDARsVqtk1-ZbCTBFhZPU32rMbbAkpSCjry6FGSWweviw4tJNm4_vKL4kCo_5YmEHuFcFja-yUFcXRUXqyCORgYIu-L3DMshdtpNa-Yqz7Ep3oaQkL_SDZ0/s1600/tiny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjdl1DNba9zSVpxcpd4jZtryDARsVqtk1-ZbCTBFhZPU32rMbbAkpSCjry6FGSWweviw4tJNm4_vKL4kCo_5YmEHuFcFja-yUFcXRUXqyCORgYIu-L3DMshdtpNa-Yqz7Ep3oaQkL_SDZ0/s640/tiny.jpg" width="640"></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/21/29/bb/2129bb6730b437ab2b0a8e47b708e3ec.jpg" target="_blank">source</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;">That would have been totally affordable. </span><br>
