That’s right Meg is exhausted, so she just puts words together like a new verb. “Megsausted“. Feel free to steal it and substitute your own name any time you need it.
The last three weeks Meg has had contractors floating around her house doing various things in preparation for the Lone Star State move. They have painted, repaired the chimney, reglazed her bathtub, put a new roof on, and various and sundry other projects, so the family can sell their house. (and Dawn, I still might want to rent it out it looks so nice now!)
Take a look kids, at how things are shaping up!
This is the front with the new shutters, chimney and roof.
Here’s the view from the garden patio, where the family has fire pit parties when the cooler weather prevails:
Or just when they feel like pyromaniacs and want to see flames.
Here’s the expansive lawn, where croquet and volleyball can be easily set up:
Meg is almost finished staging and repairing her house, and goddamn it, she loves it more than ever. Even after going to the paint store and trying to get paint colors matched. That was when the biggest a**hole that ever lived walked into the store, while Meg was consulting with the paint guy. He proceeded to bang his hands on the counter and shout “HOW ABOUT I GET SOME HELP HERE”! After all, he had waited all of one minute, Meg could see why he was annoyed. NOT.
Apparently Meg was a mere hallucination to his feeble mind, but as he spun on his heel, she did call out to him. “BY THE WAY, YOU”RE A JERK”.
Meg hopes she can take a little break for the next few weeks, and she doesn’t have to duke it out with all the people that are having home repair rage in the stores. Maybe those Home Depot people make it look like it’s fun, but she can tell you there are some mighty angry painters out there.
In the meantime, she’s going to enjoy her pretty house and gardens. And maybe have a cocktail on the patio!

Oh Meg! That is beautiful! It looks like something out of Home and Gardens.
And I love the word, Megsausted. Joannsausted just doesn’t fit like yours does.
I hate douchebags. We need to send all the miserable creatures of the world to one island where they can yell at each other all day long to get off each other’s lawns.

The woods!! I love the woods!! We don’t have woods here in Denver. And if we did, they would be on fire anyway! The Megchatheau looks beautiful!

This is what being married is all about; leaving a house you love to go with the spouse you love more.

Such a pretty house. You might want to retire back there someday?
You know how little kids get a sticker at the doctor that says “I was a big boy/girl at the doctor’s today”?
I often wanted to give a sticker to my retail customers that said “I was a first-class jerk at the mall today” and make them wear it for the rest of the day.

OMG! I want your house! I’ll buy it, I’ll buy it! Wait. Is there any work for my husband up there? Oh, and does it have A/C? Because Dawn just has to have A/C, no matter what. It really is a beautiful home.
Susan is right. I have done that more than once, leave a house I love to be with a husband I love more. Next time, I may stick with the house.

These pictures are making Ms.Bee Beesausted! Because they are making me sad! I dread to think we will not celebrate any more holidays at the Meglet and Leo Chateau (like that choice Zadge) – it will be especially painful if we get to have one last hurrah and have to share it with stupid relatives like you know who! Ugh – the thoughts of it make me Bee-sausted and Bee-nausated! I just want to Bee-vomit!
My first thought after this post was OH HOW HORRIBLE to fix all your stuff up and then have to let some other person enjoy it when you sell the house.
But it does indeed look VERY cute. Like I want to sit on the patio with my coffee in the morning. And this vision does not include small children hollering for breakfast.

Have been there… done that…. and felt that, too. Then my mother wondered why I only cleaned my oven when I was getting ready to move; didn’t I deserve to cook in a clean oven as much as the new people did? Time to treat ourselves as if WE were the new owners…. a lesson I took to Tucson and one I bequeath to you for Texas.

ps. Megsausted is my new favorite made up word!
Soooo pretty! Wish I could buy it. You should rent it so you can return some day :>) It’s tough to leave a house you just love and have invested so much of yourself in (had to do that 14 years ago…still miss that lovely house). Good luck getting through this challenging time!
