A Momentous Occasion

So I was just thinking yesterday, this is the longest I have stayed put since I graduated from HS. I used to move every 3-6 months, and I have now lived in the same spot for 18 months! Amazing! So, to appease my wandering spirit, I get to rearrange my house every 3-6 months. Actually, I think I do it a lot more often than that. My desire for change is leaking on over into the blogging world. It is about time for another change. I apologize to all you who like things to stay constant. I just can't do it. If you have a hard time with the ever changing blog format, just pretend that it is in whichever design you like it best. I just am waiting for the fall with much excitement. Fall is my favorite season, so as my mood changes, so does the blog.

Wow, way to go! I know how you feel, I move a lot too. And I like change. I've been at my job for a year now and I feel like that's long enough!

I didn't really see any other Mayan ruins; part of our group went to Tikal for a day, but I rode a horse up a volcano instead. Those pictures will be coming soon....

I feel your pain! We are in contract for a house here in Las Vegas (move in is Nov) and here I am "gee maybe we should move to Dallas". My gypsy ways are hurting our chances for giving Harmon a nice stable home... But it kills me to think I could be here for 5 or 10 or worse 20 yrs to come! I'm addicted to moving.

I love the changing look of the blog. I really should do the same.

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really.

We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me.

Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?"
Lowes: "What's that?"
"A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short."
"Is that like a brand of baseboard?"
"Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling."
"Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?"
"Tile?"
"To go along the ceiling, right?"
"Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."
"I hav…

It was late.  Everyone in the house was asleep but me.  I was happily folding laundry while watching mindless TV and laughing because King of the Hill is just funny.  I finished, carried my basket upstairs, and smiled.  It was nice having all the laundry folded.  Now to put it away.

I climbed the stairs, making certain to turn off all the lights.  When I got to the top, I noticed the kitchen door was unlocked, so I locked up for the night.  I stealthily entered Beth's room, putting her basket of clothes just inside the door because that baby sleeps like a cat.  I then went into my room and began hanging my clothes up.

I was going rather slowly and daydreaming while I did it, lazily looking forward to sleeping in my bed.  Faye had begged Jeffrey to sleep with her because she couldn't sleep, and so I would get to sprawl to my heart's content.

Suddenly, I heard the doorknob to the kitchen door rattle.  Then I heard the unmistakable sound of a shoulder heaving against the d…

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight.

We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.
