Summer: Yeah. What’s up?
Winnie: ::angry face emoji:: I need to vent about something. But first, how long are you staying at the ranch?
Summer: I promised GA I’ll stay until Labor Day Weekend.
Winnie: Seriously? Must be nice to get some time off. I’m sorry I had to rush back to Seattle this morning.
Summer: You missed out on Dad’s BBQ brisket. But everyone understands that you’re in the middle of filming the next season of Restoring Seattle.
Winnie: My producer is really riding my butt about this stupid Dream House project. As if they need me there. Geoff and Mel have everything under control. And it’s not like I get any input into the design.
Summer:Wait, what? The show isn’t letting you pick your own stuff for your dream house? I mean, I know that you’re Construction Girl and Geoff and Melanie are the design team on the show, but this is going to be your HOME. Can’t you talk to Karla or something? I mean, as the producer, she can override their decisions, right?
Winnie: Sigh. I wish. Actually, I wish that Geoff and I had just eloped or something. Turning our engagement and this stupid Tudor Revival project into a TV circus is exhausting. It’s making me hate the house and everything to do with weddings.
Summer: I’m sorry. For what it’s worth, it’s a gorgeous house. I love that medieval half-timbered look.
Winnie: I actually had my heart set on a gorgeous Jud Yoho Craftsman in Ravenna. ::crying emoji:: Got overruled on that one, too.
Summer: Oh no! Why?
Winnie: Geoff, Melanie, and Karla decided the Tudor Revival house in First Hill looked more photogenic and more “fairy tale.” Whatever the hell that means.
Winnie:Not gonna lie. “Restoring Seattle: Geoff and Winnie’s Dream House” is turning into a nightmare.
Winnie: Vegas and an Elvis wedding chapel are sounding better and better.
Summer: I’m so sorry. Your Dream House season sounded like such a sweet idea.
Winnie: Oh, and did I mention my producer just vetoed my wedding gown?
Summer: No! WTF? I loved the dress you picked!
Winnie: That’s why I wanted to vent tonight. Karla just told me that the show is getting a free wedding dress from some up-and-coming designer, so I’m going to have to wear that one instead. I’m supposed to be happy because it’s way more expensive than the one I picked, but honestly, I think it’s butt-ugly. It’s all lacy and floofy and shit. Not my style at all. I’m going to hate my wedding photos.
Summer: I am SO sorry. I hope the network is paying you a crapload of money for going through all this.
Winnie: I feel like I sold my soul to HomeRenoTV. Anyhow, enough about me. Tell me about your vacation plans.
Summer: Not really a vacation. GA is putting me to work while SummerTime is closed for renovations. She wants me to upgrade The Yummy Cowboy Diner and turn it into something a little more upscale.
Summer: Which could be fun, except guess who’s running the place these days?
Winnie: Mrs. Michaels… wait, no, she passed away last year. I heard it was cancer. Who?
Summer: Brock.
Winnie: No way!::shocked emoji::
Summer: Yeah, GA really put me on the spot today. Did not appreciate that. Plus, he was *such* an asshole when we offered to help him.
Winnie: OMG. Is he still hot?
Summer: Maybe. Yes. And you didn’t hear it from me, but he’s actually a great cook. But his attitude is ::poop emoji:: NOT a sexy look, no matter if he IS “the yummy cowboy.” Gah. I hope I can talk GA out of her plan for the place. Maybe we can just dynamite it and start over with a new owner.
Winnie: Yeah, good luck with that. You know how GA gets when she has a Plan for World Domination.
Winnie: Crap, Karla’s calling. Probably some fresh disaster for the show. TTYL
