This post got me thinking. I want to be on the next house series. Really. Now, whenever I get a stupid idea like this, I run it by my sister.

Me: So, Jenn? I've got something I want to do...
Jenn: Okay.
Me: No, this is kinda stupid....
Jenn: You do lots of stupid things.
Me: Yeah, but... I wanna be on the next PBS house series.
Jenn: You'd never make it.
Me: I'd never make it on, or I'd never survive?
Jenn: You'd never survive.

Now, is it just me, or does that sound like a challenge? Perhaps even a dare? Way to talk me out of it, Jenn, now I really REALLY want to do this just to prove you wrong. I just need to become an interesting person in under a year. I can do that.

Me too! They almost always have a newly-wed couple, so my wife and I were looking for new house series to apply for. Let me know if you find any--maybe we could work in a secret alliance. ;)

They say they should be posting applications around the end of this year... Hm. How about, if one of us gets in, we try to get the other (or other couple if it's me) to be allowed to tag along? These people are always calling in their friends and relatives.

No, she means it, methinks.

Ahem.

Try if you feel like it, but if you get on I will laugh my ass off.

To explain to those who don't know Connie as well as I do: Much though I love her, my sister is unrepentingly lazy. Phenomenally, amazingly lazy. Plus easily distractable. So, if you ask her to take out the bag of garbage, she will ASSURE YOU (loudly) that it WILL get done that night. 3 weeks later, that VERY SAME BAG will still be there. Many times, longer than that. She bought Lizzie a stroller for Christmas, it is now May 22nd and the box from the stroller is STILL in her house, even though my mother has asked her to throw it out at least 4 seperate times that I was witness to.

My point being, if she has to chop logs for firewood, rest assured that she will freeze that coming winter. Especially if there are books to read nearby. :-p

Shows what you know, these shows don't last through winter. And besides, they might not have to involve manual labor.
