Dropped the kids off at school and hustled home to begin my day.
Stopped short when I saw that little white van waiting in my driveway. My lovely pool guy had arrived, three days late, to open our pool.
Fabulous. Nothing like a morning spent wasted with an overgrown manchild who makes up reasons to knock on my back door and talk to my umm boobs. (and seriously people, in all honesty, there is not a lot of boobege going on here)
Quick decision. Not going home.
Stepped on the gas and headed to the nearest Starbucks. How long can it take to open a pool anyway?
Coffee done, back to the house. White van still there.
Quick turn. Guess I’m treating myself to a mani!
Mani done. Huh? Is he camping out in my backyard?
Quick turn. Look out mall. Here comes a Mama with some time to kill.
Mid-Season sale. Mid-Season? Middle of what season?
Whatever..I see the word sale. Works for me.
Home again and he is gone!
Woo Hoo!
Today’s tally.
Starbucks and cookie $7.00
Fabulous Mani including tip $40.00
Clearing out the sales rack $320.00
Avoiding the creepy pool guy who talks to my boobs. Priceless.

get a new pool guy, this ones too expensive
So funny! Can you send him the bill?
When I first read the title I thought it said "guy pool." I have to tell you it's pretty shallow around here - definitely lots of creepy ones in there!
lmao....this is so funny!
You are too funny! So.....have you tried talking to his "pants"? Maybe he'd get the message that he's creepy. I know, I'm sick.
I would've done the same thing. Who cares if it breaks the bank...so worth it.
You know he was hanging around hoping you'd show up...
is it warm there yet?
my friend had a creepy pool guy too who she says tried to poision her with his chemicals by urging her to smell them..lol. she ran inside, locked the doors and called the police..lol.
must be a weird thing with pool guys.
You are hilarious! Such a priceless post! ;) I would have totally done the same thing!
hahahaha that's hilarious! totally would have done the same thing though!
I would be like. Dear. Mr. Pool-Guy-That-Doesn't-Know-Where-to-look, how about using this thing called a phone? They've had them for a very long time now and then you won't have to camp out in my back yard and look like a stalker. And you'd save me time, money and my day as well.
I can't stand when people do that.
ugh...sounds like it is definitely time for a new pool guy...
Though I am all for mani's and sales I think you need a new pool guy.
Ha, ha! Great post! So how long did he end up staying?
Money well spent! I once dragged my poor pooch on a long run in the heat b/c when we were returning home I saw the cable guy at my house. Didn't feel like dealing with him when all I wanted to do was go in, take a shower and have a nice cool drink. So, around the block a few times we went. Luckily my four-legged running pal was up for the challenge!
LOL!!! You kill me!!! LOL!!! I love it!!!!!
Ditto PP...money well spent!!!!
I'm thinking if I had $320 to spend that would be totally worth it.
But, I've also been known to call people out for talking to my boobs...no joke.
This is danged funny.
Is your pool guy our ice cream truck driver? Sounds like the same guy.
I'm not too fond of the guys who are avid boob-conversationalists either. Most women have had to become quite skilled over the years at avoiding creepers.
Love it! Too funny.
Off to vote for you cause you crack me up! Your like my morning cup of coffee only I don't drink coffee. So I guess your more like my daily Nitro2Go Mega Shot Energy shot, lol.
I'm jealous of your pool...that would definitely give me something to look forward to this summer.
I KNEW, JUST KNEW, that I loved you. Sealed the deal, right here.
Yeah, that day sounds like my dream. Sigh...
awesome!
simply smile and enjoy the fun!
Love it! I do the same thing, too, when my yard guys are here!
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! :)
Hahahhaah!
I am so using that someday...
I HAD to buy these shoes b/c the lawn maintenance man was freaking me out!!!
HAHA!!! Loved this! That sounds EXACTLY like something I would do!
Great post. I would say that you should get a new pool guy but then I would worry that he might get mad and do something weird! Nothing like a SALE!
Thanks for the well wishes we made it to Texas.. I so would have done the same thing.. I loved this post and it made me laugh wondering when the van would be gone. Too bad he is not the hot pool guys you see on t.v. Ha Ha..
I absolutely love that!!!!
I hope you had fun too! :)
Oh my gosh. I think he was just helping out the economy!!!
I always wondered how to spell boobege. :)
haha... i love it!
this totally made me smile!
Haha! Fabulous.
I think you made very wise decisions. Expensive ones, maybe, but wise. :-)
Wow! You sure had some luck on that sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha and you got your pool opened! Sounds like a win win situation!
Did he go for a swim once he had opened it? Geez!!!!!
This is so hilarious and absolutely justified!
That is hilarious! At least you got some nice stuff out of it, right?
Oh come on, admit you made up the pool guy so you could have a FAB day shopping! *grin*
Okay, that is funny! Our bug guy used to freak me out. I would "hide" in the house and close all the blinds!
A lot of people don't realize how much of a job it is for the stay-at-home mom to deal with the numerous people that service your home.
Costly day, but hope it was worth it! :)
Good girl. That's exactly what I would have done.
Oh heck yeah! I love the way you think. I Do this sort of thing on a regular basis!
That is funny. Damn pool men. I think you should deduct it from his bill!
