Moving Right Along
The house is becoming a home. All the boxes are unpacked and the rooms are starting to come together. We did the basement first so that Lexi would have some place to hang out while we have been more preoccupied than normal. Shan has done a lot of work over the past week putting things in their place. We are really happy there. Lexi loves her structure out in the back yard and hits the swings almost daily.
The Christmas lights are up so that we are not “those people”. Lexi likes to look at them through her bedroom window at night before bed so it gives me this enormous sense of accomplishment. I am not good at those type of jobs so it didn’t surprise me that it took almost 3 hours and when I went to plug them in I was holding the female end. IDIOT. There was no way I was starting over so I just cut the end off and put on the male plug. I can hear Bosak already “is that safe?”.
We decided against cable so I am a little behind on the amount of Jets games I wanted to watch this year on TV. It didn’t really bother me that we missed the Grey Cup this year except we should have at least made some little sandwiches to compensate a bit. I was reading the Facebook posts after the game and I was laughing at how many people had given up on the Bombers after the game. One person wrote something like “…and we are building a new stadium for this team?” – Um ya they made it to the big game. Like only teams that win the cup every year should get new stadiums! I say good job Bombers.
The last time the Bombers won I was in grade 8 and a lot of us skipped school at lunch to take in the parade downtown. For whatever reason we went back to class after and I remember Mr. Bean (no really), getting mad and sending us out in to the hall when we got back. Then he came out in the hall and asked us how it was and told us to go back into class looking like we just got in trouble.
It’s almost December and I am looking forward to shaving off this stache. I did my part for Movember raising $140 for Cancer research and now in 2 more days it has to go.
