Call me clueless...

Okay so today I went out with one of my dealers to a home that she was having some issues with to take a look at their Hunter Douglas products. The home was INSANE. I mean seriously amazing. I asked the dealer what the husband did and she wasn't sure. She told me that they were just living there for a year or so while they built another even more amazing house. I met the wife who was beautiful and the two kids who were totally adorable. I helped them work out some issues and was there for about an hour. The homeowners daughter colored me a picture while I was there. At one point while I was working on the blinds the wife was talking to her husband on the phone and made a comment to the Nanny that her husband was on his way home from Chick-fil-a and did she want anything? He must have arrived home right after I left.

Tonight I was talking to Jake about the house and telling him that the wife was about our age and that the little girl was the tallest three year old I had ever seen. At one point today while I was at the house I commented to the little girl how lucky she was to be tall. The dealer even commented to the wife, "Is your husband tall?"

Uh yeah... You could say that....

Read on.....

So, when I was talking to Jake tongiht about how awesome the house was and that whatever the husband did he made SERIOUS bank. I said, "I wonder if it was somebody famous?" Jake said, "I wonder if it was a Spurs player.... What if it was freakin Tim Duncan's house?" I was like, "nah". He went and jumped on the computer and googled Tim Duncan and pulled up a picture of him and his wife. He said, "Was this her?"

I said, "Uh, Yeah."

Freaking at Tim Duncan's house and didn't even know it.

Geez......



So maybe I didn't get Tim's autograph. I think it's better....

Back to blogging

I have been in blog denial thinking that Facebook could take the place of blogging... Sadly, I love my facebook... But I hate missing all y'alls blogs. So, be patient with me while I get things figured out. I might have to steal some posting ideas while I get my brain working because I know y'all don't want to hear about blinds which is what I know best. All my fabulously creative friends out there... I'm afraid if your looking for inspiration that you've come to the wrong place. With that in mind. Hold on tight. Let's see how long this ride lasts.
