Leeking

Today, another beautiful sunny day, Ryan and I went digging for leeks in ryans parents neighbors woods. It was crazy, we drove into the woods on our four wheeler and all of these little green sprouts are leeks. The woods smelled sooo good. We picked a big 5 gallon bucket full. we still have to clean them up. But last night Aunt Kathy dropped by and gave us some she had picked, so we already have leek dip made.

yesterday all the poles for the MONSTER shed got put in, i had no idea it was going to be so big. i'll put some pictures up on OFOTO so everyone can see them. Then i went to see fever pitch with carrie and nicole. It was a very good movie. I recommend it highly- oops hope you don't read this becky before you go see it.

we are going to spragues now for dinner, its ryans granpa's 1 year anniversary. Crazy thats it been a year already, seems like yesterday. :)

sunny day

It is so sunny here today, it is not that warm out but it looks nice out. I'm going to walk the dogs tonight. they will just love me.

I finally finished my wedding scrapbook last night, its looks very good. Don't worry i will be showing everyone so that i can find out what your favorite page is :)

This weekend ryan is going to be putting posts in for our new shed. it is suppose to be nice all weekend. FINALLY. i need to get my new scrapbook started this weekend. And saturday night we are going to see Fever Pitch. Its playing at the Castle which sucks because it is always freezing in there and if it is raining outside it rains in the theater too.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

(one week from today i will be on my way too pick up my new bug)

vw

I just won a 1974 kelly green VW beetle on ebay!! i'm so excited. it has a little rust but nothing major. it has all new seats both front and back. It will need new tires and some carb. work. Ryan and I are going to go get it next friday.

Its been my dream my whole life to have one of these. i'm giddy with excitement. ryan thinks now that i have an old one i can get rid of my new one and buy an suv.... but i think he is mistaken.

I will have my current beetle paid off in 2 more payments so i think i am going to keep it around for a while and not have any car payments.

how exciting!!!!!!!

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.
