Operation Drywall – A House 2.0 Update
So I feel like I dropped off the proverbial blog-wagon on our House 2.0 project. But now that Gabriel has reached the separation-anxiety milestone, I can barely put him down and go in the next room without him going into hysterics. At first it was endearing, but now I’m getting a little frustrated with his...
I Love the Smell of Demolition in the Morning
Today marked the start of the demolition on the den paneling. We started after the little dude went down for his first nap. Probably not the smartest judgement call but he lasted an hour before waking up to the sound of trim being ripped off. In typical fashion, I didn’t really get very good pictures...
Happy Anniversary to Us
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but my parents totally spoil me! For our anniversary this year (it’s been 7 years, incidentally), my parents gave us a new back door! Mike and I have always said that it would have been so easy for someone to just break through the crappy single pane...
Song Challenge: Day 30
I’m late to the last day of posting because Mike and I were out of town all weekend visiting my family. Gabriel’s cousin, Dominic, turned 1 this week and I just couldn’t miss seeing the little boys together! So sue me if I’m a day late. Anyhoo… I looked back in my iTunes purchased list...
Song Challenge: WTF?
Dear Internet, With the pressures of a re-audit at work coming next week I have fallen SEVERELY behind on the blogging. I have every intention of catching-up and hopefully getting back on-track. It is tough. My lunches (prime blogging time) have turned into either running outsite for exersie or enjoying a game of The Lord of the Rings...
Song Challenge: Day 29
I hesitate to put this song up because it is truly cringe-worthy. But hey, I’m all about self-deprecation on this blog. Once upon a time, I was insanely ga-ga over New Kids on the Block. I’m talking 3 concerts, bedroom walls PLASTERED with tear outs from Bop, Teen Beat, etc., pins lining my purse straps,...
Song Challenge: Day 28
I was a terrible person to Mike before we officially started dating… In college, I dated lots of boys—none of them worth mentioning. But poor Mike had the ill-fortune of getting swept up in my whirlwind of fickle womanhood. I didn’t know what I wanted out of relationships, I toyed with emotions, I teased. Yeah,...
Song Challenge: Day 27
I wish I had stuck with learning piano… My biggest problem is that I learn everything by ear and have rudimentary sight-reading skills for piano. It shouldn’t have been a problem for me, if I had taken the right style of lessons. (I hear Suzuki Method is totally the way to go for people like...
The Wait is Over
So Lent is finally over… and being Catholic, I was supposed to give something up. In all my 34 years, I’d never given anything up for Lent before, but this year I was bound and determined to actually follow through. I decided to give up buying clothes/shoes/accessories for myself. (I’ve tried giving up sweets before,...
Song Challenge: Day 26
My choices for this day are fairly limited… I never took the time to learn how to play any instrument proficiently. I’ve dabbled in piano, flute and guitar but never got good at any of them. Singing has really been my only consistent musical outlet. That being said, I got a ukulele for Christmas and...
Song Challenge: Day 25
I heard this song a few months ago on the local college station and thought it was utterly ridiculous… But then a few days later, I found myself thinking about it and giggling. I played it for Mike and we just couldn’t stop listening to it. It’s sort of like a train wreck… The good...
