Guess what I’ll be doing this hot and muggy weekend? | Fetch My Flying Monkeys
Everyone needs a fleet of flying monkeys to rip the stuffing out of the annoying people in their lives
— Laura

The pool will still need to be emptied and resurfaced, but for now it’s swimmable and free of snapping turtles. Here’s the before and after.

Pool before "The Great Pool Empty and Clean 2013."

Pool after "The Great Pool Empty and Clean 2013."

And just look at that FULLY INFLATED pool float!

    Girl, I would look like a prune. I would stay in that all day long. Enjoy!!!

  2. If you are wanting to swim for exercise, keep a few snapping turtles around. They’ll keep you moving :)

    • Laura says:

      I was thinking more along the lines of a cupcake on a stick in front of me. I would line them up on both sides and take one on each lap, but I know I’ll cheat and just eat them all on the first lap. Because that’s how I roll.

  3. Jena says:

    pics of Jack in the poool!!!!

  4. Sophia says:

    All you need now is George.

  5. Jess says:

    I usually write a snarky comment, but I won’t this time.

    I know you’re proud and I can only write it’s really nice to see the excitement you feel. Life is too damned short and some time must be spent enjoying the soothing, relaxing moments that only a pool can allow.

  6. Yabu says:

    Sweet, you’ve got yourself a cool “backyard”. I was once “snapped” by a small snapper. I think I’ll put that up.

  7. Erin says:

    Congrats on getting the float inflated! All you need now is the matching floating cooler to keep your gin and circus peanuts handy.

  8. Alison says:

    Have you seen the easy floating cooler that’s making the rounds on the internet? You wrap a couple of pool noodles around the top; no inflation necessary. I’d find a link, but I’m even lazier than you. I mean, I’ve been sick, and have no energy. Yeah. That’s what I meant.

  9. Kim says:

    Many congratulations and kudos and happy thoughts on your pool. Moving into, fixing up, unpacking, discovering shit that’s just…shit will make one a crazier person than when ya entered. Speaking from experience. We’re still in unpack mode and massive WTF? was THAT? or WTF is THIS?
    I mean, WTFuckity FUCK?!?!
    Get you one a them spa pillows to put behind your neck and leg floaties and a George to hold you as you float.

    • Laura says:

      Girl, the remodel is driving me absolutely insane and I want to kill most of the people working but then who will work? Well they won’t so I might as well.

      I like your idea of relaxin’.

  10. Cherie says:

    Congratulations!!!
    You also need some pool noodles!!! And some floating drink cozies! You know what, you should make an amazon registry so all of us can send you a house/ pool warming gift!

  11. Jeffro says:

    YOU are in BIDNESS, baybee!!!

  12. Janie Jones says:

    Awesome! Despite the travails of home ownership and a fixer-upper, it must feel pretty awesome to be where you are right now. Congrats!

  13. SB Smith says:

    Your pool looks so inviting all blue looking and everything. You could put up a higher fence so you could be nekkid in the pool if you wanted to.
    Isn’t that a neighbor’s house I see in the pic ?…The brick is different from yours.

    Experts have determined that there is no difference between spending time in Hell, and living in your home while it’s being remodeled.
    :-D

    • Laura says:

      I believe those experts.

      A privacy thingy will be going up on that end. Also a cabana will be put up in the back. I need a place for my cabana boys to go when they’re not fanning and feeding me grapes.
