For those who wanted to see my destruction over a roll of electrical tape

This was a mild version. I've already started the cleaning up process 🤦🏻 but just so you can enjoy knowing that there is someone in the world who is willing to tear apart cabinets closets, and sheds for a roll of electrical tape, that never got found! Enjoy!!

Why did I laugh so hard at this 😂

[Hidden]

Lmao! You want to know the really sad freaking part, I got electrical tape today and that mess didn't even work hahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂 I gave up lol, but hey at least I can laugh at myself cause I definitely thought it was going to work out. So here is a word of wisdom folks. Alcohol is NOT the answer. It makes you think you can do some stuff that is literally not possible.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Good words of wisdom! I can only imagine what led up to these sage words....😂

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

We'll see what had happened was.. now that I'm typing it I have come to realize that a story probably shouldn't start out with those words 😂😂😂

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

No, I think it's a good place to start a story. I'm reading book on storytelling and it says to start with a "hook". Well, you've definitely got me hooked. I want know what happened. Don't feel obliged; I'm just saying it's a good "hook".

I can see it now. Take your last two sentences "alcohol is not....literaĺly not possible" and go from there.

Ok, well here goes then, I actually enjoy entertaining so I'm going to try my best right now. So what had happened was I had been kind of bored, so out of boredom I came up with the magical idea to have a couple drinks. Upon taking those said drinks, I started to feel great, I was like yeah let me get these flowers watered, spending like at least two to three minutes on each one because I feel as though they needed extra attention due to the circumstances of the heat and they seemed extra thirsty, so I made sure to take care of them in that very moment, and boom it was done before I knew it. (I should note that I also pulled all the weeds so I felt really accomplished at this point.) I was feeling like I was on top of the world making sure they were ok, and everything was groomed, so in my head, I'm like "Ashley, you have handled this situation beautifully, and the car is in need of cleaning." So after taking all the time needed to water my beloved flowers, I felt compelled to clean my car. I wanted to do the outside, and interior being the sun was going down and it was probably one of the best times because I wouldn't have those forsaken water marks all over my car that seem to never go away with countless carwashes, anyways I started on the interior. I rubbed the dash down making sure to rid it of the dust and nasty pollen and any debris that could have possibly tarnished it's beauty. And as I'm wiping the dash, I realized I hadn't had a nice shot of whiskey in oh I don't know like 30 minutes or so I'm all like whoaaaa I need to stop for a minute because I've CLEARLY not had enough to drink to tonight. So after taking the shot and downing some soda behind it, because in all honesty I hate the taste of it, I go back to the tedious task of cleaning the car. As I'm cleaning the radio and gear shift, I got thinking how I wanted to rearrange the L.E.D lights in the car. So I started to remove them from the position they were in, and readjusting them for where I wanted them to be. Meanwhile, I'm vacuuming, and wiping stuff down, installing the new air fresheners that I had lost in my house, So I thought, for an entire day, which that's another story that led me to trash picking because I was NOT going to lose some 6 dollar air fresheners. That's too much money to throw away in this day and age. So anyways I'm installing the new air fresheners and looking at how amazing the interior looked, all while jamming out to the radio, and decided that it was finally time to do the lights. So I start laying them out along the length of my car and I'm so excited because well they were going to look amazing once they were properly installed. So I get everything set up, and go to plug the USB lights into the adapter I have. And I get the first set plugged in and they light up and I'm in awe of how beautiful they were shining. So just being so tickled with myself I get the second set in place, have everything just right, attach the USB cable, plug it in AND THEN......

nothing.

No lights not pretty colors. Just. Nothing. So I'm like ok.... Let me try to adjust the plug and see if they just didn't have a good connection. Nope. Nothing. So I continue working for probably I don't know, another 20 minutes on one set of lights. I wasn't willing to surrender, there was no way that this set of lights wasn't going to work. So I continue on my journey to get these lights functional and looking amazing under the night sky, so I can sit and bask in the ambiance in my car. Nope. Still nothing. So guess what time it was? Yup, time for more whiskey. As I took another shot, I realized, what of I spliced the the sets of lights together to only have to use one USB cable to plug them in and have my beautiful lights going. That is where I realized, oh crap! I need electrical tape. So I ask the boyfriend where the tape is So I can handle this business once and for all. He looks. He finds nothing. I'm all ready to flip because I'm like, oh honey let me tell you I know for a FACT that we have it, because I remember purchasing it. Can't really remember for what, but I knew I did. So anyways I decide you know what, I'm going to find this tape because I know it's in this house!! So that led to ripping apart the cabinets, the laundry room closet, and the shed. In all of 15 minutes times, I had destroyed the house. For electrical tape. 🤷🏻🤦🏻. So having gone this far, I'm like, no go look in your truck because I know it's here. So we proceed to the truck. As we open the doors, there is a camoflauge hat laying on the passenger seat. I'm like, where did this come from? Cause I had not seen this hat before. He all like, you bought that for me. I'm like no I didn't. Which proceeds into an argument about where the hat came from. We had a little "situation" a few months back. Sonme, being the petty Betty I can come to be, was like oh! Well maybe you're isde chick bought it for you. He proceeds to ignore me which only fuels the fire that I, myself ignited, but hey alcohol right? So I follow him in the house proceeding to tell him that I'm fed up with being ignored, and still going on how I didn't buy this hat. After about 5 minutes of this I walk outside. Only after he tells me he won't be buying me any more alcohol, which isn't a bad idea, but in the moment I was ticked. So I proceed to be petty Betty, and I'm like oh yeah! That's great, just sit here and try to control me. Knowing darn well that wasn't the case. So I go back outside and I'm looking at the wires to the lights, absolutely upset that I can't find the alleged electrical tape. So I just start cleaning up all the stuff I have outside. The vacuum, the trash bag, all the little odds and ends. So I get that done, and I go inside. As I look around at the complete mess my house has become, I'm like yeah, I'll just handle that tomorrow. So i decide to sit down and chill on the couch and watch Hannibal on Netflix. Well low and behold I'm hungry. So I go to the fridge admiring the complete chaos I've created for myself in my kitchen, and decide I want pizza. So I have the bright idea to heat up not one, not two, but three gigantic slices. Two pepperoni one cheese, which were phenomenal by the way. So as I sit and watch the microwave warm the feast I'm about to chow down on, I can't help but still think about this dang electrical tape. So I grab my pizza and head to the couch, of course after posting my long post last night, and I finally start to relax. So I'm getting tired, decide it's time for bed, and head that way. 4 short hours later I'm awoken to a thirst that was absolutely insatiable. I drank like 3 cups of water thanks to the salty pizza I decided to eat at odd hours of the night. I had to pee, I know, probably thoooooo much info right there, anyways decided I was too tired and lazy to go to the bathroom. At 6:30 this morning I'm awoken to being smacked in the face by a frisbee 😂. My almost two year old decided there wasn't a better time for this than right then. So after realizing he wasn't going back to sleep, I decided to just get up.

And that's when it sank in.

I walked to the kitchen, saw the mess, walked to the living room and saw the crust from my binge eating the night before, then walked to the laundry room to see that yes, I had indeed destroyed my house. For electrical tape. That NEVER got found.

So I then hop on here to see what's going on. Responded to some stuff, and decided to start the wholesome clean up process of my house. After that taking what seemed like forever, I realized I still needed electrical tape. So before getting that, I decided I may as well make my venture out a useful trip. So I make my grocery list, and ask everyone what they need from the store. I go to store to get my food. Got that all finished was feeling good. Ingot excited because the next stop was dollar tree to get my electrical tape!!!! So I go get that, plus some hangars for some clothes that needed to be put up, grabbed a new sugar bowl, a lighter, and 2 energy shots that I know I don't need, and decide ok, it's time to head home to work on these lights! So I get home get all the groceries unloaded with my boyfriends help, get everything squared away. It's time!!! I pull my car around to the back of the house and I get my electrical tape. I get out there my boyfriend comes to help me. He starts snipping wires and the anticipation is building, because I'm about to have these lights finally working!!! Hallelujah thank you Jesus 🙏 he starts snipping them, and I realize.... The wires we're splicing together won't make both sets work because they are separate. They have separate USB cables and there was NO WAY this was going to work. So long story short, alcohol is horrible. It made me believe I had an amazing idea that was going to be flawless, and work wonderfully. And that once I had that tape it was going to be golden. WRONG WRONG WRONG. So basically I destroyed the house, for nothing. Literally nothing. So I'm going to have to buy led lights because they don't just sell the cables for them lol. No electrical tape needed. 😂😂😂😂😂 This is my life lol and just how things go for me. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed telling it.

Dang, girl!! That was AMAZING!! What I would've given to be a spectator at house Ashley that night and next day!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Hidden]

And I totally forgot to respond to the watch situation, I have done that wayyy too many times you would think I would know better by now. But hey, sometimes tearing the house apart shows me how unorganized I am, when in my mind I'm all like "oh yeah I got this mess together, my house is looking real good" then the real situation is "girl what have you been doing with your life, cause this is a hot mess!" So sad lol. Did you ever find it? And if so where was it?!

[Hidden]

It wasn't too bad, I've been busy since like 6:30 this morning. Non stop, that's pretty much my life from sun up to sun down. But let me tell you, I got to go to an amazing persons birthday cook out today, so I had to make some potato salad with some bomb teriyaki chicken. I can't even tell you how well it turned out. And it was actually a pretty good day, I hope you you had a really nice Sunday too

[Hidden]

I'm glad you got to play ball today!!! It sounds like you had a pretty good day too 😊

[Hidden]

Oh my gosh, that is horrible haha I'm not laughing that it broke but how you said this was hilarious!!! I mean this in the nicest possible way, but as your friend had I been there and witnessed this, I would have been laughing so hard, after the initial mouth drop of course haha

[Hidden]

Oh by the way if you were up north where I'm at, I definitely would have shared the chicken and potato salad. I know it's gonna go bad in my fridge. I have a huge bowl of it. And more than likely it will be forgotten and I will be the only one eating it lol so I wish I could share it with you!

[Hidden]

I love cooking my dad taught me so much of what I know when it comes to cooking. It's an art form, at least to me. And can you make coffee? Cause if so you have a friend for life. I found out when I was going through a really bad depression that I can go without food longer than I can with coffee. There was not a day I didn't have coffee. Even if it was, I don't even want to say it, decaf...

[san_ray70]

I am willing to bet you did find a lot of things you needed when you could not find it though.

[Hidden in reply to san_ray70]

Oh of course, I'm finding all kinds of stuff that I haven't been able to find. And I'm like oh that's where I put that. So needless to say my electrical tape incident has me making a even bigger mess. I'm literally organizing my entire house right now. I'm absolutely disgusted with the unorganized chaos happening in the cabinets and drawers. I can't live like that 😂

New post coming soon 🙄😂

[Hidden]

It took me becoming a young adult to even want to learn how to cook haha I was right there with ya on playing outside. I was a tomboy growing up so anything I could to get dirty, I was there lol
