The House


Married 28 years.
Divorced for 4.
I think I'm winning.
I moved into Ray's house in April.
The one he shared with his ex-wife.
I really didn't want to live in HER house.
He really didn't want to move.
In an attempt to compromise,
we have decided to renovate.

By the time I'm finished,
even a team of forensic scientists
won't be able to find a trace of HER.
I spend so much time in Home Depot these days,
I'm on a first-name basis with all the employees.
I'm becoming quite the DIY-er,
but I usually have to re-do every project
three times before I get it right.

Funny...
Brad Pitt used to be the man of my dreams.
Now, it's Bob Villa.
I wonder if Ray fantasizes about Martha Stewart?

Ya know, Lisa, I've changed my mind. When I first starting reading your story, I thought and told you you should be a standup comedienne. Now I think you're like Erma Bombeck. You look at the ordinary things in life, and you make them entertaining by writing about them.

con't from prev.
You write these fabulous musings and post them for all of us who know and can find you to read, but have you thought of writing a book and getting it published? Think about it. I think you could do it. I feel like I know you and have been through so much with you since I've been reading your stuff since the very beginning. I've been with you so long that my comments were in the original guestbook that was lost! I relate to you! You're awesome.
