Great News!

I spoke to my mom tonight and found out that my dad is in remission!!!!

Since he has no immune system, he needs to stay in the hospital for another 10-14 days, then he can FINALLY go home.

Thank you for all your prayers.

Fill it to the Top!!

Almost every time we go to the movies, we are suckered in to paying almost $4.00 for a tasty beverage. I have to. Cherry Coke has been a necessity at the movies since I was 16.

Anyhoo, when we are handed our soda, it is always at least an inch below the top. (I know that it may not seem like a big deal, but if I am paying $4.00 for my beverage, I want it filled to the top!) When this happens, I casually hand it back to them and bat my eyelashes and sweetly ask them to fill it to the top.

They are always OH SO HAPPY to do this for me, especially when there is a long line behind me.

The irony of this story... My husband and I share this soda and end up throwing about 1/3 of it away!

I Got An Uhhward!!!

My new bloggy friend Victoria from Love Never Fails bestowed this upon me today. I was very happy to read this in my comments. You know, my blog was started back in 2007 just to document our house being built, so we could share the progress with friends and family. It is now my journal of all things exciting and mundane.

I never thought that I would meet so many great people through doing this.

I would like to pass on this award to the following people:

1. April - A Honu Experience

2. Sharon - Our Crazy, Wonderful Life

3. Lynn - Lynn's Kitchen

4. April - Auntie April

5. Busted Plumbing - When Mother Nature Kicks You Right in the Ovaries

6. Pedaling Fast and Trying to Keep Up

I know there are so many more who deserve this, I apologize for not getting your name on here. Please keep blogging.... I love keeping "in touch" with you!

I Was Totally Violated at Lowe's

Earlier tonight we went to Lowe's to look at storm doors. It never fails, I always have to use the bathroom when we go out. (I go before we leave, but my bladder must like variety or something.)

So, when we arrived at Lowe's, I went to the back of the store to find the bathroom. I entered and since I was the only one in there, I literally checked every stall to find the cleanest one. (Since it is a public restroom, it was just choosing the lesser evil)

I enter my chosen stall and proceed to "do my business", when I hear someone come in. She does HER business and as she was leaving, I heard the door open and didn't hear it close right away. I look up through the little crack and see her staring at me!!!!!!

Our eyes locked for about 3 seconds and then she walked out. I was too shocked to say anything. (Luckily, my lady bits were covered)

The worst thing is..... SHE DIDN'T WASH HER HANDS!!!!!!!!!!
