First of all, that arty thing on my fireplace was a sale item at Pier One. Who knew? Our minds have moved past the house and into the yard. We've been watching shows like "Yard Crashers" and some other similar show where the yards all are disastrous like ours and then magic happens. I am paying a lot of attention to crushed gravel, limestone patios and tall trees so that I can cover our lack of grass and block out the barrio. As soon as we do taxes, we'll go ahead and set a new budget for Phase 2 projects and get moving. Also, heavy trash for real trash is this month so we are going to gut our converted garage and starting on that renovation. Add to that the outside building need for some new wood and paint and we will be busy. I have the end date of Dylan's birthday for the yard and outside of building to be completed because that's where I want his party.
Stuff that makes me mad: Ticketmaster. I hate them. Hate. Flight of the Conchords tickets went on sale here in Houston this morning at 10 am. 10:02 am and none were available. Go eff yourself, Ticketmaster. The more I dig, I keep seeing all this presale stuff and basically I never had a chance. I mean, you don't try to checkout much earlier than 10:02 am. Hate.
Stuff that is mildly amusing: Dylan is in love with drumming on Guitar Hero World Tour. He talks about it constantly and when he hear "Livin on a Prayer" on the radio, he realized that he could be surronded by its wonderfulness constantly. Didn't take him long to get better than me, all I hear is "Red, Yellow, Red, Yellow!!"
Off to Chicago tomorrow through Thursday...one day I'll settle down and get caught up on things. Until then...

you always CRACK me up with your blog posts!! That picture of you son and hubby playing Rock Band is GREAT!! LOL Sorry life has been so hectic for ya!! no fun!
You were trying to get Flight of the Conchords tickets and Jim was trying to get Bruce Springsteen tix at the same time...just might have been too much for ticketmaster to handle.
One of my favorite memories of the last year is Jackson asking if he could download The Devil Went Down to Georgia and asking if I'd ever heard that song. Uh, yeah...how have you heard it?
Lovin' seeing Dylan playing the drums and so good to hear that you guys love Guitar Hero! I think I am going to get it for Ed for his birthday this year!
