Flickr

There is a link to my pictures on my Flickr account. To the left, under the links for Recent Posts, is a link that says "Flickr". Click on that to see pictures. I posted new pictures a couple of days ago. They are of the updates to the inside of the trailer and there are a couple of Steven, and one of the cats.

random events

On St. Patricks Day weekend I went to Dallas to visit Stephanie. She had a party, that while it didn't go as she had planned, we had a wonderful time. I met her friends Steven & Christine, Phil & Kathleen, Jessica, and Chad. Stephanie had a Limerick writing contest. They were all funny. I was going to post mine, but Steven threw mine away (on accident, he says). It was about Steven killing our neighbors dogs. Saturday we slept in, watched a couple of movies, and went to Cafe Brazil and Half Price Books. I got a book written by a monk that lives at one of the monastaries that Kathleen Norris of The Cloister Walk stayed. I got The Brothers K for 50 cents and a book with three Flannery O'Conner stories for 50 cents. I had a lot of fun and I can't wait to see Stephanie and the other girls for her birthday camping trip.

Today I went to the courthouse for my jury summons. I sat there all afternoon and I got picked to sit on a jury for a civil case. I'm excited.

Today I also made home-made wheat bread. It's good. MMMMmmmmmm.

gggggggrrrrrrrrr

I changed my template because I didn't like the way that my flickr badge set all my text way lower than the title of the post. Well, it took away the flickr badge and when I tried to put it back it did the same thing. I also lost my links and I don't think I really like this template, but apparently I had made some customizations to another template and I don't remember what they were. I don't feel like messing with it now, so deal with it. I think I might be able to at least get a link to flickr up.
I haven't posted in a while, but things are going great. Work on the house is continuing. I reposted some pictures of flickr, this time with them rotated the correct way. Once we're more settled into the house (without boxes everywhere) I'll post some pictures of how it looks now that it's painted and we're mostly moved in. We have a lot of repairs to do. Hopefully sometime soon I can quit concentrating so much on the house and put my energy into planning the wedding again.

Since this week is spring break, I didn't have to work on Saturday. Kathy and I went garage-saling on Saturday morning and I scored a table saw for $7. Steven was so thrilled. It will make some of the house repairs easier and cheaper. Steven also found a grill for cheap on craigslist.com Steven has been working this week (washing busses) and I've been helping Kathy paint the apartment and get it ready for her sister and family coming in a couple of weeks. Steven is through working so we're going to run some errands together and then babysit tonight. Tomorrow I leave for Dallas to hang out with Stephanie for the weekend while Steven is left here at home. Poor baby. :( Then it is back to the grind of driving busses.

Super exciting, I know. But that's what's been going on around here.
