I'm baaack! Geez, but that customer is a snooty bitch-I'll be glad when I'm done with that job. If she wants us to do any more work on that house of hers, I'm going to charge her a 10% "nuisance fee", I swear. I'd love to tell her that my house is half again as big as hers, and that the way hers is decorated tells me that her taste is all in her mouth, but I need the money for the work...I'm almost sure she's a liberal, so I will happily keep taking her money to remodel her pretentious house that looks like an 19th century New Orleans brothel.
"Ohio" at an amusement park would be rather difficult to achieve, I would think....
There are probably as many recipes for pesto as there are types of basil to make it, but I use a simple one that just has the basil, garlic, black pepper, olive oil and some water. Lone Palm will know about freezing it-I'll ask him tomorrow.

I was hoping she would get even more excited because we would have it with us picking her up - but if he is not here within the next 7 minutes - I've got to roll.
I usually leave no later than 4:45 to pick her up because I really don't like the road and it takes me a solid 20 minutes - hubby has no such qualms.

Just got back from my errand soiree. Flip from one store to another and back again. You have to be quick here. No dawdling about. The car sitting in the sun will kill ya! Now I'm having a Harvey Wallbanger. Mmmmmmm, good.

That client sounds like a real winner (/sarcasm)
Just freeze the basil - pesto is best fresh.

Depends on what he likes in the way of decor. This woman has a Victorian style home that was just built about 5 years ago, and she is already re-doing everything. There is enough red velvet, Cherubs, Greecian type vases and gold leafed lamps, chandeliers, and mirrors in the living and dining rooms to make any madam happy, and when you go into the master bedroom, if you don't open your eyes slowly and breathe into a paper bag, you'll be overcome by lace and frills and pass out. Somehow I just don't picture you decorating like that.
