Range Hood Installation- A shocking experience.

Why is it that a husband will not take his wife seriously when she is fiddling with wires in the cabinet and screams, "these are live, they got me"? Instead, he laughs, tells her she must have gotten scraped by them because they aren't even hooked up.
What does it take for him to believe her? When he is putting those dead wires into the hole in the range hood, and sparks start to fly, then he believes her. He said it was pay back for a black marks-a-lot mark I accidentally gave him on his face. It is pretty funny, almost like an extension of his mustache.
The joys of home improvement, and working together!
Want a good laugh? We had to remove part of the old formica back splash a little sooner than intended since the new range hood was longer. The kitchen used to be green, and had a tile back splash, you can kind of see the square marks here. See the spots of something in the middle of the squares? DOUBLE SIDE TAPE! I kid you not, some one put tiles up with double side tape. I really do like the color, can't wait until we get it all done.
Kendall drew on my wall! I found a slate medallion on-line I liked, (uber expensive) so I went to The Flooring Store (Donna is the greatest!) and she helped me design one of my own. Kendall drew it on to make sure the size was what we were looking for.

And as I am typing this, Bill is saying.....BZZTT, trying to imatate the sound of sparking wires. Very Funny! He also mentioned something about test pilots when I mentioned AGAIN why he didn't believe me!

I think I am going to like it...........

Paint! This is what I saw when I got home tonight...I really like the color, it is exactly what I was looking for.AND...what would a scene be with out Brock?
This was really funny to him, took a bit of explaining to the momma,but I guess when some one wins in WWE they climb up a ladder and cut the belt down.. he is demonstrating that here. What a goof ball.Next comes the hard part. Where does every thing go that was once in the cupboards, well on the kitchen table, where else. Mingling with Paige's Beautiful roses! I got some too, just not near as many as her! And see those cute daisy's? Beth, who use to work with me at the Dr's office had those delivered to me yesterday. It was really great, because I had no idea who they were from until I opened the card. Thanks again Beth, that was so sweet of you!
We do actually sit at the table to eat, looks like we won't be tonight, and many more nights as more cupboard's gets sanded and painted!

39 and counting

Today is my birthday, I am actually 42, but I thought I would down size it as I am pretty sure I don't act my age.
It's also our anniversary.
Best birthday present ever: Paige moved back home.
I am blessed!

Meet "The Sports Kid"

WWE road to smack down was "the best day of Brock's life" He had so much fun giving high-fives to most the wrestlers, and even had the pleasure of getting sweat shook on him by a few ICK. It is a great feeling to make your child so happy.
He is now an aspiring WWE wrestler, his name will be " The Sports Kid" I can see it in lights already, can you? Oh, the best news was they are comming back next year!
