No gracias...
Eager to please their teenage daughter, Gary and Elaine made the mistake of thinking that “I like the decorations in that Mexican restaurant” translates to “I’d like those decorations over my bed.”

A final plea for the book...
Gary and Elaine are hard at work on their book, but they’re putting a last call out for any catalog companies who would like to offer up some of their material. If you work behind the scenes in the catalog world or for a home furnishing company - or if you know someone who does - please send an email to catalogliving@gmail.com.
Many thanks to the those who have responded!
Catalog...
Should've had a V-8...
While I appreciate the effort Gary, you still have a lot to learn about making fruit punch.
Taking the hint...
Gary begrudgingly made the bed, not appreciating the threatening reminder of where he would end up if he didn’t.

Gary, when our daughter says, “I like the decorations in that Mexican restaurant,” that does not translate to “I’d like those decorations over my bed.”

A hunger for peace...
Elaine was suspicious of Gary’s offer to set the table until she realized he was using it as an opportunity to surrender.
Happy weekend from Martin & Gareth... →
Outdoor Week on Curbed.com!
Art walk...
Gary and Elaine weren’t sure what their kids were painting, but they couldn’t deny it was attracting a crowd.
In for a bumpy ride...
Gary, you really think this is easier than getting the shocks fixed?

Your move...
Yes Elaine, I understand your subtle jab at my eating habits by placing this pig table next to my rocker, and I will counter by placing food on it.
Grapes of wrath...
Removing the shards of a Pinot Grigio bottle from the comforter, Elaine was forced once again to remind Gary that despite its appearance, their headboard was not a wine rack.

String theory...
Gary wasn’t sure what Elaine was going to knit, but he was relieved to know that it would match the lamp.

Sun of a gun...
Gary, I’m sorry the log hasn’t burst into flames yet, but I don’t think working on it through the night will prove effective.
At a moment's notice...
Gary, you can’t claim you’re “prepared for anything” when really the only two things you’re prepared for are a cricket match and a book fair.

Tapped out...
Gary glanced to the left of the faucet and slapped his hand to his forehead, finally understanding why chocolate wasn’t coming out.
Wooden you know it...
Gary was relieved to have finally found a receptacle for his failed whittling projects.

Seeds of doubt...
Although the results were arguably more attractive, Gary took pleasure in knowing that Elaine had grown her Chia Pet incorrectly.

Flipping its lid...
The bird bottle opener stared at the fruits of his labor, wondering if he should have gone to grad school after all.
Making do...
Elaine immediately regretted putting small dollops of sour cream on everyone’s plate at her bird-themed luncheon.

Objection overruled...
That mallet is for cracking the crabs. You’re just going to have to wait until after dinner to shoot another episode of “Judge Gary.”
No chicks allowed...
Two months after moving the nest into the safety of an enclosed shadowbox, Gary couldn’t figure out why the birds still hadn’t hatched.

In the hot seat...
The chair’s friends had to wonder why she waited until she was already sunburned to put on a hat.
Nailing it...
Yes Gary, I get it. The next time you want to tell me you’re “hooked on Central America,” perhaps you could do it in a way that doesn’t damage our walls.
Safari, so good...
Gary and Elaine were living every parent’s nightmare: Mason was not interested in going on a safari.

Fire in his belly...
Gary had a sneaking suspicion his oatmeal was a little too hot.
