Ok, so, here is the story of how the money tree came into existence. I was entrusted with this task by Wanda, of course I had volunteered for it in what I can only describe as caffeine induced moment of madness.
Well, the day came to actually create this work of art, so, I go outside in my pajamas and fuzzy robe, and to complete the outfit, my fuzzy slipper boots. I take my ginzu knife, because isn’t that what all money tree makers use? So I go outside and begin hacking away at a bush in front of my apartment, like a woman on a mission, I am. Then a really cute guy walks by, with his very cute dog, and says “hey”, to which I look up and say “hey” back and keep hacking away. I am committed at this point, or should be committed, one of the two.
I finally get my branch, take it to the backyard and spray paint it silver, which makes me a little light headed, I have to admit, I understand now what all the fuss is about. So, all hyped up on caffeine, mega doses of vitamin B and now spray paint fumes, I go back in to fold money.
It is a tedious job, so I fold it while sitting in my bed watching television, when I am done I look down and realize I am surrounded by money! I have made it rain! WoooHooo! I should have taken a picture of me surrounded by all that cash. But, alas, I did not. I tie all the bills on the tree and assemble the complete project together.
I have to admit, it was fun, and it was for a terrific person, I would do it again in a heartbeat, so now you all know the adventure I had making the money tree.
Money Tree
Caffeine and Paint Fumes
Ok, so, you all know I am in charge of the money tree for the big birthday bash on Saturday. As you all know, I have never made one before, so, I had a vision in my head of what it should look like. Let me tell you, I am absolutely brilliant! It is turning out so well! I am going to try to post a picture when it is all complete, but so far it looks exactly like it did in my head. Of course this could be a combination of caffeine and the spray paint fumes talking, but I think it looks fantastic.
I took today off so I could have a little alone time, as I don’t have that hardly at all anymore, I thought as I got older I would get to be alone. It is not working out that way, I am not complaining, I am just the type of personality that needs to be alone once in a while. So, today it is it.
Well, I have to go finish the money tree, get dressed and do the things I wanted to do today, I have a lot to accomplish and a short amount of time to do it. I need to go through my shoes and get rid of some. I have way too many, don’t faint, yes, I said it. I have one that totally have to go, they are way too young for me and way too tall, I feel like Herman Munster walking in them, or Gene Simmons, one of the two. I also need to go through my clothes and get rid of the ones that don’t fit and will never fit again as I refuse to gain weight and in fact need to lose about 40 more pounds.
OMG! I found this thing on Groupon, that I am totally getting for myself for my birthday. You go and have a total body work up and you get four injections of a combination of vitamins over four weeks. It is supposed to kick start your metabolism, I am so doing it, I am going to do the full work up one, not just the vitamin option. Maybe I will lose all 40 pounds in 4 weeks! Wish me luck!
