I am a dork

I get excited over the lamest things sometimes. I am totally stoked because Al got my outside water spigot moved and working today. Hooray! I had no idea how much I take those things for granted until the darn thing broke. It is a total pain in the rear to have to run in and out of the house with a watering can. I watered & watered those flowers last night, with perma-grin on my face. I am sure the neighbors probably think I should be in a straight jacket. Heck, I'm starting to agree with them. This lady may be mad.

I am not sure that anything else could be more exciting than that, but there is more. That's right. The lameness is not over with just yet. UBC dropped off the wood for my deck yesterday afternoon. Yippee! I am not as excited about the "oh so manly" tantrums I will most likely have to witness. But I am going to be so grateful when the deck is complete. It will be so nice to have somewhere to hang out, other than inside. I wish I had a magic wand to wave and all of the work ahead of us would be done. Anyone have one I can borrow?

Lowes called on Friday to let us know our stove is in. Very exciting. As much as I love grilled food, it gets old eating the same old things over and over. I am not exactly Miah Crocker, and Al is no Chef-boy-R-Al. The microwave is not my favorite cooking tool either, and fast food gets old really fast. I am not sure when I will get a chance to pick it up though. Hopefully next week. I am taking vacation next week, to get some things done around home. I will be off most of the week. I am also very excited about that. (I know you are all sad, but don't worry. I will try my best to find some time at home to blog.)

I have one more exciting thing to torture you with, and then I will give you a break for today. A couple of years ago, they tore down the church that I was raised in. I was also married in that church and was sad to see it go. They tore it down, to build a new one. Before they tore it down, they were letting people acquire some pews if they were interested. I had always wanted to have a church pew, and thought it would be sentimental to have one from "my" church. However, I did not have the room for one, so that idea was quickly put to bed. This past weekend, my Mother offered me the pew she had got. She does not have the room for it anymore, and I have plenty. It will fit perfectly in my front porch. I am ecstatic! This particular pew actually does have some great memories. At our wedding, my aunts sat in this pew and visited during the pictures. I do not get to see much of them, and one has since passed. The were so happy that day. Thank you Mom!

Happy Tuesday ya'll!
