It never ends

So the weekend was crazy… Water heater went out AGAIN Sunday.. Turned out guy downstairs had gas work done saturday that blew out the pilot but you can imagine the look on my face when I woke up to cold water again..

Saturday was a company Picnic for kevin’s company and then a birthday party for my ex.. Both were actually reasonably fun. Got to see Lance’s sisters who are both very nice and I hadn’t seen since the break up.

Got a LOT done yesterday though and the house is starting to look normal again though. We spent the day yesterday avoiding the heat and working on the garage. Kevin built shelves into our storage space while I organized the crap and put it all away. Then made plans for the den… Place is actually coming back together. My desk faces out the window to the street now which is very nice cuz I can see people walking by and see the birds. Funny part is that I think the neighbors think I’m watching them – my monitor is hidden (cuz I don’t like people seeing my computers from the street) so it looks like I’m just sitting at the window staring out for no good reason. Not checking them out though – for real. Do catch a glance from time to time but honestly – not all that interesting.

Anyway. nuff of this.. Need to be as productive today at work as I was at home this weekend so no more blogging for me today..

over and out

Judgement Day

Today is the last day for the little buggers. Orkin is coming to take them away. I have to assume they’re going to put them in a nice little box and release them into the wild where they can roam free…

I’m a little worried they’re going to rise up and attack us while we sleep!

I’d like to announce the arrival of a new addition to the house. A bouncing baby water heater.

MAN This home ownership thing is all SORTS of fun…

Religion

(Watch out – this is a long one – and probably only interesting to me)

So I went to church this morning.. And it got me thinking about why I still go to church and how that fits into my life.

I’ve always had a really strange relationship to church and religion which has changed over time. When I was little my family (mother’s side of the family at least) was very religious (Christian Scientist) and we went to church every sunday like clockwork.. My mom wasn’t very vocal or push about it and my dad just went along to be supportive. But my Grandma – she was another story. I think women her age took classes on how to deal with kids in the church and she’s always done all the stuff any good God fearing Christian woman should do… She sang me hymns at bed time. She bought me books about Daniel and the lions den and Joseph and the coat of many colors. She always had little mints an paper and pens in her purse on sundays to keep us quiet during the service (our church was small so sunday school was before the main service so the teachers could hear the service). Even to this day she checks on me to see if I’m going to church and explaining to me why I should try to convince Kevin to come with me.
