Lights out!

So last night after taking Patty and Linus for a long walk ryan and I sit down in our living room to eat dinner and watch TV. However the NEW ceiling fan/light wont work. all the other lights work but not either NEW fan. One in the office and the one in the living room. Sooo what else do we do but call my dad. He thinks a wire could have loosened up in the attic. So reluctantly ryan goes into the attic after i have to kill all the power in the house so that ryan will feel safe. So i'm sitting in the dark hoping whatever ryan is doing will make the lights go on. but after 2 tries nothing. Ryan then decides that all he can do is re-wire the WHOLE box in the attic, which he thinks will take 20-30 minutes. So i have to hold the lantern for him and i have to get in the attic with insulation and rat poop and sit on the 2" side of a 2x4 for an hour! We decided if this now perfect wiring job didnt work we would have to call ryans grandpa (also an electrician). But i was convinced it would work.
So i turn all the power back on and slowly walk up the stairs from the basement because i can already tell that the living room light still isnt on. so the night of relaxing has turned into and hour and a half of playing with wires. It turns out after another phone call to my dad that the same box is connected to our bathroom and then it clicks earlier that morning i was playing with the outlet in the bathroom, the test, reset buttons. I think when i figured it out Ryan wanted to kick me :) that was the problem all along. We even missed half of American Dreams. I was so pissed.

That was our exciting Wednesday night. I NEVER want to spend a night in our attic again, thank you.

Pheew

Well I went to the doctor yesterday because my mother has scared me into thinking I have cancer on my foot. My doctor took x-rays and its soft tissue - nothing is there. He said it is just irritated and to wear shoes that don't bother the bump. So no surgery, just new shoes. The Dr's office must think I am a hypochondriac.

I watched the Amazing Race last night, and I liked that it was 2 different episodes back to back (eh hem, becky) and I am so glad we don't need to see the abuse of that couple of Ray and Deena. It was horrible to watch him. And why did he never drive?!!! It was funny that they went from first to elimination. I do love watching the gay couple and how much they hate Rob and Amber, cause frankly I can't stand them either. I hope they lose.

Easter

Happy Easter to everyone! I have the cutest Hello Kitty easter baskets, three of them now. Last night we colored the eggs and put the Hello Kitty plastic masks on them.
We also had a bunch of people over for game night. We played catch phrase and cranium. I'm not sure we played cranium correctly but we were atleast close. Ryan and I were the winners! we had to spell receipt backwards to win, thank god ryan can spell.

Today we are going over to Ryans grandparents for Easter Dinner. I have already eaten all my malt balls and almost all of the cadbury eggs. Not to mention the 4 bags of chips we ate while playing games last night, and the 64,000 beers that got drank. I think I will gain 15 pounds this weekend.

I do hope that Cath isn't mean and Becky gets to go to church today.

my first time

Oh how exciting! I have my very own blog- I don't even know what to write about now. I was inspired to have a blog because my sister Becky has one. So if it is boring and sucks, blame her.

Today is friday for me since we finally get Good Friday off. yippeee! Last night was survivor and oh I better not say who got voted off just in case somebody hasn't watched it yet and doesn't want to know that Ethan won. But let's just say I am glad this person was voted off.

This week is project week at our house, my dad is visiting to install some ceiling fans and light fixtures and fix my garage door opener. Home Depot is getting all my hard earned money too.
