Something I have been putting off for a while now.

I don't get why rugs have to be so darn expensive. I have been having trouble bringing myself to spend that kind of money on a rug. I got one for the living room (picture) & another for the den (waiting it's arrival).

As if Friday's aren't busy enough for me...

We had an emergency trip to the vet today. Sampson has been cutting himself on something in the back yard. We've checked the fence for nails & found nothing. At one point we were thinking maybe it was Raider. After today's trip the vet said it looked like he was trying to squeeze through something. Well there is nothing to squeeze through... BUT there is this raised part with this super annoying apple tree (over produces). Sampson is the jumper, not Raider (explains why this never happens to Raider). We're now thinking he's catching himself on branches when he jumps. Poor guy. He has about 8" of stitches & a tube.

Hidden talents

Get you new chores. I caught L folding pieces of her clothing that she had taken from the laundry basket. She did pretty good for a 2 year old! In the picture she folded a sweater dress & a pair of pants. She didn't fold the sweater yet when I took the picture.

This is the aircraft Mr fly's. I did not take this picture but it came today in a newsletter. They are taking the helos apart to bring them back from Iraq. Mr's squadron was the first of it's kind there & the last in the rotation. They just recently flew their last mission over there. I like to call it the 'air yacht'.

Empty frames wall...

I took this picture because someone didn't believe me that I had a bunch of empty frames hanging. I really need to get around to ordering pictures to fill them up.

Easily distracted by all things shiny...

Including pots & pans. These better last a life time. I have faith in you All-Clad that you won't fail me like Caphalon did. Just started out with a small set since a few pieces (just the pots) from my old set are still usable. The oven pot came free with the set. Used it tonight to reheat a beer-can chicken. We used the grill pan a few nights ago when our ghetto grill ran out of gas. I refuse to use the grill when Mr isn't here. That's his job. So this pan will get lots of use by me.

If I were a comic book character...

Nothing much going on here today. Just catching up around the house. I need to out-source the laundry or get it some kind of birth control. Seems to never end...
