I got these tonight! Which means I got to cross off #42 on my Mighty Life List. I like them so far but it feels really different just walking around. I expect my feet to adjust to them over the next week or so.

five finger shoes and brand new things.
Friday, July 16th, 2010scrabble night.
Thursday, July 15th, 2010I finally tried another game of Scrabble.
This is the one board game that I’m not a fan of at all and it’s mostly because Daniel is amazingly good at it and plays words that I secretly think are ALL LIES.
There is also drama surrounding this game because we played it on our honeymoon and it got so fussy that I walked out on the game, out of the room, and left my fresh new husband sitting there thinking, um, what just happened? YOU PLAYED ZA. THAT is what happened.
But we all played a game last night and it was quite fun (except for Drew who was trying to go to sleep and kept coming out to announce that he just couldn’t do it).
Steve and Cassidy brought cupcakes that were delicious. And as we ate more, the night grew more silly.
And don’t let this picture fool you. Even though Daniel is Srs Bsns on his iPhondle, he was just a kooky as the rest of us.
And then it just got weird.
OR DO I MEAN AWESOME?
lazy days, tape roads, and delightful things.
Monday, July 12th, 2010We’ve mostly had a lazy Monday. Our weekend was full of games, movies, food, and hanging out with Steve and Cassidy so as everyone else went back to Work and Responsibility, we slept in until 11am and ate spaghetti for breakfast.
In fact, the only productive thing I’ve done all day was to hit the grocery store this evening and even then, Daniel was with us, and I found myself wandering around the aisles pretty often thinking oh, yes, I want to eat this. And this. And that.
After we put the groceries up tonight, I got out the masking tape because of something I read on Alicia’s secondary rain-day blog. Her idea is something I knew Drew would love and goodness, it’s CHEAP and CAR RELATED.
Drew helped me make the masking-tape roads and throughout the evening he’s added houses and hotels from Peanuts Monopoly as well as train tracks.
And, he’s taken to somersaulting over it all as well.
I love that he can crawl all over it without messing it up and that even after the toys have been put away for the evening, it will be here in the morning for him to play with again. I probably won’t take it up until I vacuum again in a few days. ^_^
And here’s the delightful thing I found this evening:
how do you work this thing?
Monday, July 12th, 2010It feels like one of those nights where I could stay up for hours and write, write, write but my eyes keep blinking rather slowly every 5 seconds so I’ll make this quick. Also, Drew keeps telling me that he needs a Shiny Sparkly Hug, and a Tiny Friendly Hug, and a Very Big Squeeze to help him go to sleep (can you tell he’s fighting sleep tonight?) so the sooner I close my laptop, the better.
I really just wanted to say hello with a tiny post so that I can move past the weird stage of um, so, how do you work this thing?
exploding toilets, my worst nightmare.
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009We just got this notice in the mail:
The South Middleton Township Municipal Authority will be cleaning the sewer main in front of your property on Thursday, April 2, 2009, weather permitting.
Cleaning the sewer main requires the use of high-pressure water jets. In some instances the high pressure can back up into your house and cause the clean water in your toilet bowls to
erupt out of your toilet like a geysersplash out onto the floor or walls. To avoid making a mess we recommend that you close the lid on your toilets, drape an old towel over the seat, and hold the seat lid down with something like a phone book.We suggest that you cover the toilets from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
This has freaked me out beyond wildest belief. I am so worried about our toilet spouting water like Old Faithful in Yellowstone.
It will be just my luck that the toilet will erupt WHILE I’M ON IT.
Also, this is not an April Fool’s Day joke. How I wish it were.
