Cheese and Rice

Cheese and Rice, you heard me right. If you know my dad at all, you'll recognize this saying as a way around the blasphemous 'Jesus Christ' as an expletive.  And, Cheese and Rice its been a long time since I've blogged. Since then, we've ripped down more walls, seen a celebrity, celebrated birthday's and watched hockey games...

Katelin is number 3! Go girl!
Kat VonD was at the bookstore and Marge and I just happened to walk in. How cool!!
Another missing wall.... I am just worried my cat is going to crawl into the empty whole up there and get stuck. 
And there is nothing like wearing a helmet to open birthday gifts. When you are four I guess anything goes....
....Including wearing full rollerblading gear while trying to open your wallet to get your birthday money out.
As most of you who read this probably know, I got a new camera. I love it. LOVE. LOVE.
I also love Ginger, and she is so cute in her St. Patty's day hat.
She's just really cute in general..... 

Deconstruction

It was pretty nice before. I worked hard picking out the paint color. But, its not all that great and we really want to change it. Get rid of the silly pocket door. Make it more open. And eventually, put in a patio door where the window is. But for now...

We'll just rip this wall out.
There it goes!

The carpet is gone too. Someone had covered up the original hardwood with a yucky carpet, which was stained and dirty. It is now downstairs where it is covering the concrete.

Its stained, it has carpet glue and tape on it, but I think it can be saved!

Carolyn Herrera

Dear Ms. Herrera

Thank you for making that fun gown I tried on at Off Saks Fifth Ave. Not only could I not afford it at its final clearance price, but I had no where to wear it. If I would have had a place to wear it, for example, the Oscars, I probably would have purchased it. After all, it was a really good deal. But, what I really need you to know is that it was SO fun to try that dress on, mostly because I will probably never ever have another one of your dresses on ever again in my lifetime.

Thanks

Kendra

At this point in your blog reading adventure, you may be wondering a few things. "Why did you try on a dress?" "Who is Carolyn Herrera?" and "How much is a Carolyn Herrera dress anyway?". Well, trying on dresses is a hobby that Marge and I participate in semi-regularly during our lunch hour. Hey, it gives us something to do. Carolyn is a 'designer' who sells her drseses for dollar amounts I have usually only seen on cars. See below for the blurry cell phone photo of the price tag.

Yep, it says $5999.00 as the original price. It was marked down to 2395.90 but the final clearance was $999.00.Yea, I know, it looks like it was made for me. I probably should have gotten it, because it was such a great deal. But really, I don't have a date for the Oscars so there was no point.

Success!

Yes, I did it all myself..... cut, leveled and applied!

Guys night in

My husband had a party in my basement and I wasn't invited. But thats OK, they made a huge mess and since it wasn't MY party, I didn't have to help clean up. But I could document the aftermath.... There was quite a bit of variety here as you can see. Premium, Sam Adams, Red Stripe....


Papa Johns Pizza... 
And in the recycling we see even more variety.... 
What kind of beer is that in the cooler? Don't you know? 
Ahh yes, Blue Diamond Lager.. Everyone's fave.

Taco Tuesday

Well it is Taco Tuesday, but that has nothing to do with my pictures. Sorry. If I had kids, or a life, I would post some cute pictures of them or something exciting. And since I don't, you are going to get some really cute pictures of my pets. Because they are cute.

I need to point out a few things here. First, you'll notice the BONE right next to the knocked over case of CD's. Why you choose to chew a CD when your bone is right there is just beyond me. Second, notice all the pink shards. That was a jewel case. Yum.

Sorry Ginger, I'll never understand why you chose to chew on a CD. It does not look yummy.

Alright, here is the little killer himself. He is ready to pounce out that window and get those birds and squirrels. In this nice photo, you can actually see the squirrels GoGo is threatening. They are pretty scared, if you can't tell. He is vicious. But, when he isn't hunting birds he is a pretty cute cat.Ginger can be a pretty high energy dog, but when she is tired she is tired. She seriously didn't move from the couch all day...And here she is sleeping again, but being oh-so-cute and cuddly while doing it. She is such a lap dog...
