I need to have my house painted. It's mostly brick, but it's got a couple of gables and the eaves and stuff...it's not a lot, because it's not a big house, and I'd do it myself but I have a thing about ladders. If I climb more than three rungs up, I lose all ability to move 
I mean, there's a reason why I'm the only person in my neighborhood to regularly shun Christmas lights, so practically climbing on the roof--not really gonna happen 
I got the first bid yesterday. He said he could have it done in a day, maybe a day and a half, and next week is perfect for his schedule...for 1400 dollars, windows extra. How much for the windows, I ask. 50 bucks each, says he. There are 13 windows in my house. That's over 2000 dollars to paint my freakin' BRICK house!!
I've got three other people coming out to bid on it, but I'm pretty sure my best option right now is to bribe many of my friends with promises of good food and cases of beer. Anyone wanna help?
Update: I'm being all domestic and weird. I'm in the middle of making grilled zucchini and I have definitely leanings toward baking a lemon cake. I better get over this mood quick. I do NOT need cake!!
I saw something in Tradgidy's journal that caught my attention, so I...er, borrowed it. Yeah, that's it. I borrowed it
The idea is to choose a singer/band/musician and answer only in song titles or album titles by them.
I chose: Better Than Ezra (shock!)

Yipes! That's an incredibly good reason not to let hillbilly monkeys anywhere near your house!
