Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Me? I've never been arrested, thrown in the pokey, or the big house, (add your own acranym here). However, on Sunday morning, Ross and I got to watch one of our neighbors get arrested. It was super cool.

After the incident, I called to report it to my parents. My mom said that she thought that sort of thing only happens in West Valley, where she lives. Nope, happens in the SJ, too.

Just wanted to share.

How long do you keep Christmas crap in your garage?

Okay, I understand that the holidays are a busy time of year and that recovering from the holidays is nearly as intense as preparing for them. I also understand that with Christmas comes garbage. It is inevitable that all the work to packaging and wrapping gifts is destroyed within minutes and hours on the big day. Like I said, I'm understanding. However, my understanding begins to weign when, approaching nearly three weeks after Christmas, the junk is still not cleaned up, but is thrown into an open garage for all to see and any mouse in the neighborhood to shack-up in.

A house in my neighborhood, close to mine, is in this present state of disarray and I am a little frustrated with the situation. Look at the picture and judge for yourself. Maybe I am not as understanding as I think I am.

Note: The cars are not in the garage....that is because they are probablly parked, with their windows rolled down, in front of my house.

Have a happy day!

Bob Villa would be proud.

I am not the most handy of people. Yes, Ross and I, w/ the help of the fam. painted our entire house in a weekend. Yes, I tiled my own bathroom floor. However, that is about where the creativity stops...until, that is, I saw my uncle Paul's creation. Paul made his own elegant yet simple headboard for his bed and I decided to do the same thing. I made the headboard two weeks ago and just barely got around to hanging it last night...oh the joys of velcro. It went up in a jiffy and now my bedroom looks a little more complete. I just thought I'd share.

How High Can You Stack 'Em?

Have you ever been at work, with a long list of things you NEED to do, in fact things you MUST do, but at the same time, you posess almost no motivation to do any of those important and pressing things? Well, if the answer is yes, welcome to Tuesday. You see, I have that long list...it is currently attached to one of my computer monitors giving me the evil eye. That is precisely why I took a little time out of my day to play. All I needed was 5 minutes and a digital camera, and I knew I could find the diversion and the motivation necessary to finish the work day.

Vickie has a great magnetic sculpture thing on her desk and I can't resist magnets, especially magnets that look like little men ready to do tumbling exercises. I set out to build a tower of little men and, as you can see from the pictures, I did a pretty good job. I would like to claim that at this point in time, I have the record for the tallest tower of magnets.

Yipee, Skipee! I wonder if I'll get an award for my feat of excelence?

Sunday, boring Sunday

Question of the day...what does one do on a Sunday when church doesn't start until 1:00? Be happy that church isn't any later than 1:00? Definately! Sleep in? Already did that!

Let's just say that sitting around, waiting for church to start isn't one of my most favorite things. I suppose I could clean, or do laundry, or develop a new hobby....instead, I'll just sit and be bored for the next year between the hours of wake up and 1:00 when church starts. Or maybe, I'll just eat. Eating is always good.
