There has been so much going on lately, I don’t think I even look at the computer when I am not working, so that leaves free “computer time” for posting or updating anything at a minimum. I do have to sort out Talon’s Colors for the site, but I probably won’t start or get to that until later this week.

The kitchen is slowly beginning to take form. There is actually room to move around in there a bit, and some cups and plates have even made their way back into the cupboards. Today’s goal is to get the old sink back in the new cabinet. We will be using that one temporarily until the new countertops are ordered and installed. Lately, I have been having to wash dishes in the extra bathroom. Uh, you think that’s a PITA? Damn right! I cannot wait to get the walls painted and the floor laid, by then it will be almost done, but just a bit of paint on the walls would make me feel like there will be an end to it all.

The weather has been shit hot. Uncomfortable to say the least. It’s just too friggin hot to get outside and play. That, and the mosquitos are still pretty heavy, so any outside play requires a lethal dousing of repellant, which stinks and is a PITA, and then you have to shower after you go outside because you A) stink from repellant and B) are drenched from sweating. Bah

Bring on the cooler weather, anytime!

So Talon is infatuated with Ford Mustangs. Did I say infatuated? I meant obsessed or crazy. I cannot seem to figure out which one it is. He points out every mustang and convertible vehicle he sees on the road. Yes, I mean every single one. It is definitely cool to see him wanting to learn about them, though. We go through just about every car we see, and he can identify just about every make of vehicle out there.

“Look dad, there’s a BMW”

“What else is it called?”, I ask.

“Beemer”, he responds.

The other nite for a “treat”, I took Talon up to the new Ford dealership on Walnut. Talon was in 6-year old heaven. We looked at the Ford GT, which is a totally hawt car! The new dealership is mostly inside so we were able to escape the heat for a bit, as well. Talon spent a lot of time sitting in the Mustang convertibles, “driving” as he puts it.

I am not /that/ big of a Mustang fan, but some of the cars there did look delish. Yeah, I said it.

So what else has been going on? I should start taking notes, since my memory is such crap.

Kate had a bit of a flood in her apartment at the beginning of the week. One of the hoses on the washing machine snapped, flooding out the second floor and leaving about 3 inches of water on the first floor. Ricky said he woke up around 3 am and heard all the water, but thought it was just raining outside. I stopped by later that morning. Wow! I don’t think I have ever seen that much water where it shouldn’t be! The apartment complex has put them up in the model for about 10 days while they repair the damage.

Last nite after running some errands, Talon and I stopped at Champps at Triangle Town Center for dinner. After eating everything we ordered (we were both hungry) we decided to order dessert, which is something we normally don’t do — neither one of us really has a sweet tooth. We ordered the “Mile High Pie”, I think the only words that can describe it are “Sugar Overload” Yeah, I think that definitely covers it.  I’ve been playing around with digital video abit, and you can see the dessert by clicking below.




Ah well, I am off to fix a kitchen sink. While a bathtub offers a great deal of room for getting the dishes washed, it is a pain in the arse to use.

And for those of you that are notified when the blog is updated, I have decided to kill all the subscriptions. You will have to either subscribe to the RSS feed, or just visit the site on occasion to see if it has been updated. I apologize if that is an inconvenience for anyone, but I just feel like I am spamming people when I post. See you people are causing me guilt, shame on you! Ha, just kidding.

later all.


btw, Talon did get all greens this week
