Girl power gets the job done!

Diet/Health Buzz - - Posted on March, 20 at 12:03 pm

I posted last week about my moment of insanity in which I ordered myself an elliptical machine.

It arrived yesterday, and with the Mountie being out of town, assembly was up to me. Oh, and since the Mountie is away doing renovations he has taken all his tools and other male paraphernalia with him.

No biggie, I thought, I’m resourceful.

I needed a rubber mallet, an adjustable wrench and a Phillips screwdriver.

Same shit, right?

The instructions said assembly would take two people under an hour. Well one woman, two broken fingernails, countless curses and 3 hours later…….

I am woman. Hear me roar.

    Kai, Mo sent me over with the promise of the funniest post in the blogosphere (or something like that) and he was right. I howled at the rubber mallet!!! And good for you - you don’t need no stinkin’ man to put that machine together! HA!

    You’re a funny lady.

    I was just “entre” passing through, but your post made me put on the brakes. Good stuff.

    True, too!
