Mom and Me

Originally uploaded by SwimFinsSF.

Last night my mom, little sister, and I got together for dinner and a little belated Christmas (since I was out of town)… My mom drove out from Sacramento (the drive from hell – I-80 west was closed from 11am to 6pm yesterday cuz of an accident – YIKES).. So they got over here ’round 7 to see the place and hang out before dinner..

They also brought Christmas presents I missed which was very sweet (I sent mine for them to share over christmas).. Well, leave it to me to go ahead and buy exactly what my ‘rents were going to give me before they could.. Before the trip I bought myself a nice Digital SLR to use while I was gone.. I actually tried to figure out if they were going to get it before I got it and got enough signs that they weren’t that I decided to risk it (its also more expensive than they should be spending on me)… Well – as it turns out thats exactly what they were gonna give me – and, whats worse, my mom didn’t find out until she talked to Katie YESTERDAY… Uggg… I felt like SUCH a jerk… I KNOW better but I convinced myself it wouldn’t be a problem… They did get me a really nice lens and flash for the camera though that is FANTASTIC.. i’ve been playing with it all morning…

After that though we went to Faralon for dinner which was fantastic.. were there for like 3 hours and had a great time…

Ugggg.. I’m a fool…

Check it out… Raully (our contractor) came in with a crew yesterday and helped me get the place back in shape.. cleaned the floor, rolled out the carpet, picked up the drop cloths, and fixed the bathroom light.. still no shower and little things to do – but its lookin a lot more like a house already.. woo hoo! 🙂

Uggg.. this remodel is getting SO CLOSE its killing me.. All the appliances are in and working.. The cabinetry is nearly done (lot of little things still left to do but it looks fantastic)… The bathroom is coming together.. But MAN – all the little details are enough to kill ya – its like death by a thousand needles.. We still need door hardware, the bath tub is working but can’t use the shower, can’t use the upper cabinets in the kitchen, yadda yadda yadda… I won’t say what my guess on the completion date is cuz I don’t want to jynx anything – but it isn’t this week…

But it is startin to look pretty – huh?

(Please say yes.. I need lots of ‘its gorgeous’ from folks to make me feel OK about the pain – if you hate it just keep it to yourself! hehehe)

A Wag of the Finger

This is too damn funny… He even mentions Fortran 77. I’m impressed – not many people on TV (or otherwise) that know what the hell that is. 😉
