Random Images

Love this onePlease Do. Lisa had Parker done and Fred and Turk and me.
Been here. For me it was an Atomic knee drop by Gunnar while I was napping on my back (he was three). Almost didn't need to do the above picture.
Rejected image for my blog heading - only because it looked bad when rotated.

Twins Lose Again

This was my third time at a Twins game and it was the third straight lose. I am beginning to think it is me. We always love going on Wednesdays as it is dollar dog night. Last year we saw them play the Blue Jays and nobody cared. Hence the crowd was measly and the dogs lasted until the 6th. Tonight it was against the White Sox and we are battling it out for first place. The crowd was a season high 42.000 and the dogs lasted 1 inning.
Since I went on a date wit his wife last night, it was only fair I went out with Eric tonight. Totally BFF!!
Our friend Wayne got free tickets in the cheap seats and 16 of us went. Here is Lisa and Qatar.

Girl's Night Out

I was finally able to convince a few people to go see Mamma Mia with me. Vanessa, Bonnie, Meredith and I headed out to our local theatre and can you believe with 10 minutes to showtime it hadn't sold out?!?!
The audience consisted of a lot of women with their moms, or an occasional younger mom with her daughters - and then me. An old neighbor of mine (with her mom) saw me and gave me a very funny look. Where's Lisa. I told her she was at home and I was here with these three women. Even though I explained my love of Abba dating back to my youth in Europe, her response was still "That's still strange." Probably thinking it was a Mormon thing and these were my extra wives.
The movie was great and kudos for Pierce Brosnan for singing when he clearly is not that talented that way. At least he was leagues better than the nutjob freak women on the other side of me that sang along to every bloody song. SHUT THE FETCH UP!! But I was to polite for that, and plus her aged mother was next to her.
The most disappointing thing about the whole night was the girl talk. If any of you guys wonder what women talk about on their own, here it is. Potty training, mammograms, and the relative sexiness of Pierce's manly chest hair.***
BTW - we are NOT pregnant.
***Body hair is totally gross always. What was that? Oh, except you. It looks great on you, just not everyone else.
Yeah, thanks ladies.

Win This Book

Funny book unless French. Or a prude. Or don't get British humor. Or having a book with a foreign profanity in the title. Or you are a git***. Or have strong feelings about BSE. Or unionized.

Win it by saying you want it.


***Even though I am a git I loved it.

Dirty Quotes Out of Context

I was installing a basket on Lisa's bike and of course Cenny & JT were watching (starved for entertainment). I dropped the screws that attach it to the bike, so we pick them up and hand them off to Lisa to hold. Cenny then makes the following observation:
"So if Daddy needs a screw, he will just ask Mommy."

Yes, yes I will.

Then at dinner tonight we are having sandwiches and Lisa says the classic:
"Get over here and cut the cheese."

I will do my best but I am not really prepared right now.

Remodel Bonanza Part 2

The next step was to insulate the walls and ceiling. We are insulating everything to help with soundproofing between rooms as well as regular reasons. It really starts the transition process to make a room look like a room.


For now we are only doing the walls that are outside or we have already done the other side on a previous remodel. That way if we do a tear out we do not ruin the new insulation.
I went out and bought my 20 sheets of drywall and carried them all up the stairs. A sheet of drywall is approximately 70 pounds. I was dead by the time I got to the 20th sheet. Thursday at 6:30pm is the EQ work party to put the 6 sheets up on the ceiling.

Thrift Store Find

Living here in really, really Southern Ontario can you believe I got this shirt for only $2?
