I just got back from my Home Depot Tour. A man friend was kind of enough to show me the ins and outs of this intimidating place. We covered door hinges, types of wood, and wood staining. I left with $95 worth of materials. Ran home to practice replacing American hinges with European hinges. American hinges are visible on the outside of the doors. European hinges are concealed behind the cabinet door.
It was me, my 18v Ryobi drill, a 35mm boring bit and a test piece of Oak wood. Here I go! Drill bit attached and ready to rock! DRILLLLLLLLLLL... Hmm. Not penetrating the wood. I press harder. Still not penetrating. Press even harder at full speed. I smell smoke. I remove the drill to find the slightest dent made to the wood. This doesn't look right... I may need to take a class in this. Anywho, time to catch up on the latest episode of Private Practice.
Do you think Addison and Naomi's ex will start dating? I hope not. Girls do not date friends exes!

Hello, my name is Natasha, I'm a sissy-holic. My last sissy episode was 22 days ago. I just turned 36 years young, and I've decided now is the time to activate my Girl Powers. Watch out Boys.
To initially demonstrate my powers, I will be renovating my condo. Quite a project for a girly girl. All work will be done by myself,and my Boyfriend. I know what you're thinking; the BF will not be doing all of the work. He lives on a ship 6 months of the year so much of the hands on labor will fall on me with his verbal and written instruction showing me the way. He is my mentor, if you will. A powerful Girl always sets herself up to succeed.
My starting place is at the very bottom. I don't know how to use power tools, or any tool for that matter. I've failed at every handyman type task I've ever attempted. This includes hanging curtains, a coat rack, and shelves. I have a dent in my pergo floor thanks to one of my newly hung shelves crashing down minutes after loading it up with books.
My BF is not known for his patience. Not only with this project be a test of my girl powers, it will also be a test for his patience and our relationship. One more huff or eye roll from him and I swear I'm going to soc him! Sigh, I can't do that. I don't condone violence as often results in breaking a nail. I suppose I'll just have to put him in the penalty box and not put out for 24 hours. Heh.
Follow along as we renovate my condo and demonstrate my powers in ways we never thought possible! Maybe you'll be inspired to do the same ;-)
