Sane or Not!! Yea John and Stephen... SANE

I have three friends at the Rally for Sanity today so in their honor (and because I wish I had gone,) here are three signs for them and us.
If you like them, go to this link for more ideas.

We Have a winner.. well sort of

I went to a Halloween Party here dressed with a john seat over my head and decorated with Tea Bags...
Who Was I ? (Pictures later..)

My hat had Pictures of Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Christine OConnell and the devil and one question:
"Can you tell "witch is witch"?
My food for the party had "Eye of the Newt" in it
I won 1st for Funniest Costume. Because ' of course' it was Potty Humor.

It was a strange brew..

Before they would let me go, I had to put the seat up.

Halloween is just around the corner

Who am I?

Other possibility for our city house. What do you think?

More concrete and a ride through the faux fall weather

Jack had school/computer contest things he had to do this weekend, and I spent some of Saturday sewing, cleaning, and reading. I am reading a book that I have had on the "pile" for a few years. I was not sure I wanted to spend my time reading it, so I kept putting it off, but decided to start it to see if I wanted to read the whole thing or take it to Half Price books and let someone else read it. "Ahab's Wife." Yes, it is a tribute to Melville and chronicles the life of Una, Ahab's wife. I like it more than I thought I would. It really does pay tribute to Melville's style. I'll let you know if I still like it after I get a little further into it.

We did take a break and drove up to Burnet for a Thai lunch on Saturday and then into Austin (just the edge of it) on Sunday to get Jack an electric tea kettle. It was nice and almost felt like Fall for a few minutes :-).

I also poured another three bags worth of pavers and tried a different mix and color. I figured this is a good time to play around with different techniques since all of them will be outside and I can make any pattern I want with them. I colored these reddish and used a mix with more sand. I will know what they look like in about a week. I am leaving them in their molds at least a week - longer if I don't have time to pour more in a week.

And that's about it for now. I go to a recruiting event in Charlotte, N.C. on November 10. Anyone know much about Charlotte, N.C.?

Hot water heater and Matilda

Hi all,

Well, we had been planning to get a new hot water heater next weekend, but our old one decided we had waited too long and went out on Friday. Jack and I changed it out Friday night and Saturday morning and now we have lovely hot water again. But, as I was unloading the last of a load of mulch from Matilda's bed (black Mazda truck), she decided she was tired of running for awhile so tonight we will see if we can figure out why she is so lethargic and see if we can get her back on her feet. Might be the ignition switch.

So what are you all up to?
