We got our firm date for our homestudy- the 30th. Jon’s in a frenzy of home improvement projects. We finished the half bath downstairs- pics to come, just gotta find the befores. and we painted the upstairs hallway. Jon put in a new faucet in the 1/2 bath and we put in a new mirror,…

For some reason it weirds me out if they keep cutting back to shots of the commentators during football cause then I have to accept the face with the voice and sometimes they don’t match. I don’t mind the pre-game commentator intro, but I don’t wanna see them again for the rest of the game.

My main role at work is recruiting. I spend hours reading resumes and calling people to come in for interviews. In the last 3 weeks alone I have seen and heard some seriously funny stuff. From this I have decided that there are lessons to be learned when it comes to writing resumes, talking on…

I finally put up a hummingbird feeder- I’d been wanting to put it out since we moved in but didn’t feel like looking through the garage boxes for it. I’m so excited, this morning 2 little hummingbirds were fighting over who got to eat there. I said simmer down babies, there’s room for everyone. I…

My baby boy Ike Jit-Boo Kung Pao turned 2 (or 14 human) years old yesterday. It’s hard to believe he was once so tiny! Now he’s such a big boy! It seems like he’s been with us forever and I can’t imagine life without him, as crazy as he is!

The rest of our Labor Day weekend was spent with a paintbrush. I’m the cut in girl and Jon comes back with the roller. I’ve finished the 1/2 bath and worked on the hallway. I got caught up on laundry and vacuuming and whatnot too. I feel like I have so much to do, but…

We spent most of the afternoon and evening at my sister Sara’s new house hanging out with the family and some friends. I got a look at the fence my husband helped my BIL Marc build last weekin Marc & Sara’s back yard, lots of hard work, picket by picket, but it looks great. (for…

In a mad frenzy to get some home improvements taken care of before the homestudy, I bought some paint for the front door (I know I painted it red but it doesn’t look good with the bricks & siding), and I’m also repainting the half bath and painting the hallway. I painted the half bath…

I keep watching CNN and MSNBC and I just can’t look away. I feel so badly for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Luckily I have a dear friend who works for Red Cross and she sent me a list of ways I can help. Please check with your local Red Cross on how you can…

I was talking to Jon on my way home from work tonight when he told me he left the pugs out. Out. Of. Their. Crate. He went to work at 2 and it was now 7:30. OMG I just knew I would be walking into a scene from Apocolypse Now. But I came home to…
