Hi...

So I've been a bad blogger again. It frustrates me to have no pictures to show for the work we've been doing. The lover level exterior is mostly painted. The dining room and the hall are primed. We have a couple of people coming to work this weekend, so there should be more painting done soon.

I'll take some photo with my iPhone and post them. I won't pretend that they are good quality, but they are better than you trying to see the images inside of my head.

A few random items:

1.) This is a cool word cloud that wordle.net creates from your blog. There are many options for color, layout, etc. Check it out.

2.) We met with the mortgage guy. It went well, but not great. I need to call and clarify a few things before I make a final opinion.

3.) If you haven't read the Twilight saga, do yourself a favor and run (don't walk) to the nearest library and check it out. (Or try to. Most likely it will not be there, so go to a bookstore and buy it.) Whichever you choose, just get your hands on a copy. DO NOT follow these directions if you are : a) a boy, or b)worried about missing important appointments for the next week or so. There are 4 books, which will suck you in like a Wonder Years marathon on a cloudy Sunday afternoon... only with vampires, and no 70's soundrack or butterfly collars, and... oh just read them.

I'll try to post some pictures this weekend. Y'all have good day!

I'm camera shopping...

My camera has been slowly dying. It used to take wonderful pictures. It has spiraled down toward okay pictures. It is moving toward "only okay to take pictures outside in full sunlight."

Now it won't import to iPhoto. Grr......

I had a whole post composed (in my head) about my new art grouping by our front door. I guess I'll have to save it. It's all about Jesus and Yoda (both of whom are displayed in the art grouping). They both say very wise things. Thematically, it works for me.

Anyway, I hated to leave you without a picture.

This is what was going on here last year. Wow, when you look at it that way, it's pretty impressive.

End of an era...

It's a sad day...

It had to happen sooner or later. Theses are my best bargain find ever. A $200 pair of Serengeti sunglasses that I bought for $18.

Man... I might need to go home and cry.

Some updates...

House update:
David and Tim got the flashings on the upper level roof yesterday. Here's one in progress pic.
"What's that in the background?" you ask.

That's the scaffolding.

"So what is David standing on?" you ask.

Yikes!! I'm not even sure what to say.

Dog update:
Winni had her 12 week TPLO check up on Wednesday.

She's doing great!! All Smiles!!

Dr. Ballagas said that she can start out with one hour unsupervised with the other dogs and one mile on leash walks. Then we are to build up from there.

The other dogs are doing well, too!

"I can sit still... sometimes."

Chica and Calvin spending some quality time on the futon.

Me update:

I went to Massage Envy yesterday afternoon and got a massage. Boy, was it great. When I win the lottery... every day, a massage every day.

Also, here's my breakfast this morning. I'm not sure why I took a picture, but not only does it look good, it was very tasty and quite filling.

Egg beaters omlette, whole wheat toast, black berries, and two slices of salsa cheddar cheese (one is on the omlette), and a cup of coffee. Yum!

Y'all have a good day!

In case you missed this in the 80's

Really, you should watch it. It is sooooooo strange, really really strange.

I do love the internet though. My friend Jennifer was talking about this song yesterday, and now, here it is for you to watch. I remember my dad thinking this was the coolest video. I'll let that slide and chalk it up to the "novelty" of MTV.

Have a good day, and if you get a chance, take a fish head out to see a movie!
