Manana Time
Manana Time...the meaning you ask? Well, back when I was working at Delta we had passengers, friends and co-workers (from Mexico, south and central America etc) who would often be on, lets just say, "their own time schedule." The time schedule was....there wasn't one. With that being said let me explain my day.
I awoke at 730AM to be ready for the young, Mexican guy laying the tile in our bathrooms who was suppose to come at 8:00AM. Well, at least I thought he was coming at 8:00AM. Let's fast forward to 11:00AM. He is still not here. HELLO! Or should I say HOLA!
Anyway, he finally showed up at 1120AM. I was not too happy. Also, his price was figured on the 100 sq ft they had measured last week, and this was for the total of both bathrooms. This seemed not right to me, and I had done a little measuring of my own. With some "prompting" I asked them to remeasure. Now we were at 60 sq feet. I mentioned about the price that had originally been figured on 100 sq feet. Their unique response was, "we added a few feet so you could have a few extra tiles in case some broke." HMMMMM Well, that is good, but I don't think you will need as many tiles for 40 sq feet. I HOPE you don't plan on breaking THAT many. Also, labor costs should be figured on the 60 sq feet not the 100sq ft, right? Plus 5 to 10 extra tiles tops would only be needed, right? Give me a break! They also thought my tile was too thin. Later, they said, "No problem with the tile senior." HMM, I am not feeling too confident here.. Well, there were many more events that didn't leave us too warm and fuzzy. We chose to say Thanks but NO THANKS. Being 31/2 hours late, being off on measurements by 40 sq feet, and all the other guacamole.....Just could not handle it. I said thanks, but not going to need their services. Oh, by the way the GREAT .50 cent tile is not too thin. I found that out later in the day. YEAH!
Our Sunday school class is having a big get together tomorrow. We are bringing a salad. So, while Michelle and the boys were out I made the 7 layer salad. You know the one with cheese, mayo, eggs, red onion, peas? Well, some friends of our added some dried cranberries in the salad. It sounds weird, but it tastes really good. Anyway, it took forever cutting and prepping and getting all the junk together.... I finished making the salad when we found out the Sunday school get together is NOT tomorrow. It is NEXT week. When will the day get better?
In closing I would like to ask everyone one question. Do you think the freak they picked up in Bangkok is the actual killer of JonBenet? I don't think he is. I do know he is a total freak of nature. When I saw him on TV he had his pants pulled up so far he looked like Pee Wee Hermon or Steve Urkel. Well, anyway I didn' t know if there were others that thought the same as me.
I know tomorrow will have to be better than today.

I can't decide if he did it either and I have analyzed that whole situation to death! I tend to think he didn't do it and is just some FREAK trying to get bad publicity, but then they said he knew things that had been kept under wrap for so long. If he didn't do it, who knows how he could have found those things out too as much research as he has evidently written...I am eagerly awaiting DNA results! Can you believe JonBenet would be 16 now though? That amazes me...it seems like just yesterday we were hearing about that story...and it is still just as sad now as it was then.

It is sobering to think that that precious girl would be 16 years old. Who could have done such a thing? This guy is guilty of something: murder or he is crazy. I know some people can't help being crazy..... I think he needs some serious HELP....

And here I thought you were laying the tile yourself. WHIMP!!!
I've done it before, and would never do it again, it is a major pain in the rear. I do agree with having extra tile incase you break one b/c if they get discontinued, you're in trouble. However, let me add, that I did a huge handicap-accessable bathroom in that tile, first time ever, and did not break any tiles!!!!!
