rearranging the wernlund's pad

well....we did it. we tackled the basement yesterday. i started on it around 1pm and JB jumped into the fray around 4pm. We weren't finished until almost 10pm....what took us so long you ask? well....jb decided he wanted the pub table and chairs on the first floor. so we had to rearrange the first floor as well. But I think it looks pretty darn good if I say so myself! so....come on over if you want to see it! :)

oh....and last but not least....my sister sent me a picture message this morning of my niece Aubrey. She was in the bathroom....unrolling the toilet paper! HA HA HA she is just too darn cute! and that's exactly what her mommy did when she was young (or so I was told. Erin was a bit of a trouble maker...)

The battle...

So JB and I were in our bathroom getting ready for bed last week. This normally takes him 2 minutes and me....oh about 15. of course! so anyways....i'm washing my face when a HUGE fly buzzes by my face. I probably wouldn't have freaked out so much, but it was GYNORMOUS! You could hear it flying from like 10 miles away...ok...a little bit of an exaggeration, but still. So i quickly slammed the bathroom door shut. I didn't want the huge bugger in our bedroom keeping me awake. So I grabbed my sword (bathroom wash cloth) and swung at the enemy! JB grabbed his sword (another bathroom wash cloth) and swung as well. It was hard when you consider how tiny our bathroom is. Not much room for two people let alone two people with washcl....swords. So while we are swinging at the huge fly I'm skreeking like a little girl, worried that JB is going to hit me instead of the fly. After loosing it for a minute or so, we saw it flying once again and slapped it down! JB grabbed some toilet paper and smooshed him. VICTORY!!!!! The Battle for Gondor is won!!!!!

rain rain go away....have i already used that title?

hello friends! so it seems like EVERY time I wash my floors....it rains!!!!! oh the horrors!!! the storms were insane! it actually looked like movie rain. i'm not really sure how to describe it, but it was like movie rain. and a HUGE branch fell down RIGHT behind my car. when i say HUGE branch i mean like half a TREE!!!! :) ha ha ha
