Meet Dave: A Movie Review

In honor of the inauguration yesterday Jeffrey and I wanted to watch the movie Dave. Keith had already gone to bed, so we thought we would try to find it on the Internet.Jeffrey found a movie called Meet Dave starring Eddie Murphy. We ended up watching that movie instead. It is really weird. I think it is worth the watch if you are bored out of your mind and looking for something mildly entertaining. We laughed, but will probably never see it again. We were impressed with Eddie Murphy's acting abilities however.


My computer picture downloading capabilities was out yesterday so I never got my post published. Keith got a haircut. His hair was getting a little unruly and the mullet was becoming a little too much for me, so we pulled out the razor, put it on the longest setting we have, and cut it all off. He is military ready now. I sure liked his hair when it was a little longer, but what can you do?


Also, I am painting my cupboards. They are a hideous shade of orangish brown right now, and so I am painting them brick red. I think it looks nice. I can't wait until it is finished, though. It will be so nice to have a kitchen that actually looks taken care of rather than a kitchen that looks thrown together. Oh the joys and hard work of fixing up a house.

Awesome! I want to have some hot and juicy red in my kitchen too! Sometime this year maybe I'll finalize the project!

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."

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.

The End of This Chapter

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven. After a full day of the park, the library and the kids at their grandparents house while Jeffrey and I went up to take care of our rental house, lease signing, moving out inspection and repairs, we were all very tired. The children were finally nestled into their dreams, and I sat with Jeffrey, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand caressing my arm, just visiting. We talked about the children.   We talked about school. We talked about our rental house. And our plans for the future. As we sat thus, formulating plans and dreams, we had a rude awakening. More so me. Because Jeffrey is so calm and even keeled.  He balances me perfectly. While I stress and worry, he is there to patiently and softly guide me through the storms of my frustrations and mostly imagined hardships. Last night was a perfect example. We received the news. The dreaded and anticipated and longed for news. And it came in the form of an email from a
