Friday Five

It’s been forever since I’ve done a Friday Five, but today’s looked fun:
You have just won one million dollars:
1. Who do you call first? Jack if he wasn’t with me, then the bank.
2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself? A bigger car.
3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else? [...]

Border Decisions

I’m bored and… can’t decide…
Here’s the border we’re going to put up this weekend:

It’s going to go around the whole kitchen and breakfast nook. Would you put it in the middle of that white area above the cupboards or all the way to the ceiling? And, would you start it on the side wall [...]

New Table

Here’s our new breakfast nook table all finished. Well, mostly. Jack wants to build two more benches to add to it when Cody gets a bit older. We can’t wait to decorate the nook more too. We’ve got a border that will go around the entire kitchen and into the nook but we still need [...]

Update?

We got a new breakfast nook… but it’s not done yet. Everyone is fine for the most part. The dogs and cats are fine. Life is good for the most part. The Thompson clan is doing ok. Nothing new is happening and we’ve been busy doing the same ole-same-ole.
I felt compelled to update… so there [...]

Oh noes!

According to my email, my bank account at US Bank has been frozen! OMG Whatever shall I DO??? I didn’t even know I *had* an account at US Bank. Wait, did I? I don’t think I did. Hmm… maybe if I go to the link and give them ALL my info like my social sercurity [...]

Bye Bye Blazer

We finally sold the blazer. That darn thing was a thorn in my side. And a HUGE thanks to my brother for finding us a buyer willing to pay what we wanted. (Which was asking too little honestly, but I just wanted back what we paid into it.) The people who bought it were [...]

Added Stuff

I didn’t think our website was nearly cluttered enough so we added new stuff:
Tag Board:That’s the little mini message board looking thingie on the menu bar on the left of the page. It’s easy to use. Just enter your name in the “Name” field then your message in the “Message” field and click send. [...]

“Cathy” Comic Strip

This made me giggle:

Backyard Tree

Jack and Ralph spent the day cleaning up the tree mess. The pictures don’t do the mess justice as I couldn’t get the whole yard in the picture. (We lost only one board off the fence!) This took about 5 hours of work. Fortunately it stopped raining for the most part to get it done [...]

Jack’s tip of the day

Ok, so it was finally time to take down the christmas lights. (The ice and snow had prevented me from getting onto the roof to do it before.)
I decided that I’d roll up each string of lights and wrap them each in their own plastic grocery bag to keep them from getting tangled with each [...]
