The Things Fatal End...

We poured a concrete floor in our kitchen/laundry room.

And it looked like "The Thing" (from the Fantastic 4... Thanks for the reference Drewpy!) met his match.

"The Thing" is splattered all over our cabinets.

"Bloody" handprints can be found every. A forensic teams dream.

A final blow to "The Things" carotid artery left cement remains on our ceiling. It was epic...

But seriously... We went with an acid stained concrete floor. Something we hadn't tried before.

We mixed in some, not nearly enough brown dye. Turned out a "St. George, Utah" redd.

This was before the acid stain.

During the acid staining. The clear coat is drying, as well as killing my brain cells while we slept. I'll post after pictures soon!

Felting is My Bag...

I have picked up a new hobby... Felting, I felt, I'm a felter.

With Meghan's baby coming I saw this cute idea from my friend Annie. She made these cute little animals and made a mobile.

So I got to felting. Jabbing my finger many times with the barbed needle, my blood went into this project for my little nephew. You better be grateful little one.

The alligator my mom told me looked like an ant eater.

Lion! Are the captions helping you?

Hippo with his birdy friend on his back to show little one about symbiosis. This baby will be brilliant thanks to me.

Zebra.. Now I just have to figure out how to rig these suckers up...

Tiger and flamingo! I totally burned out in the end. I hope I never have to see wool felt again! I started thinking I was going to sell these on etsy... Give me a week, I'll get felting fever again!

Awesome Blog Stalking Find...

Ever have those days... where your husband is scrambling around your kitchen yelling in his "adult voice"... about the cement that he is pouring... and you decided to take a nice relaxing bath... and he runs in and drops a bucket full of cement water on your leg... making said "relaxing" bath, not so "relaxing"... So you start blog stalking... Because that's probably the greatest use of time EVER! Well I'm here to tell you it was for me! I scored a major blog stalk find! There I was just clicking through links of friends and landed on this one!

Friend of a friend situation here... We grew up in the same neighborhood, etc. etc... And she has just published an album and I LOVE IT! Bought it on itunes and jam to it all the time! Her voice is awesome, lyrics are fun! Fabulous... go check out her blog for yourself... julesmorrow.blogspot.com. Buy her album while you're at it!

Sick

I think I've been sick since December. I got the stomach flu... Twice... And have an awesome cold that has stuck around for two weeks... Blah!

This is how I feel...

These faces sure are cute...

But those little noses sure can hold a lot of germs. That lovingly get passed with boogery kisses, and well placed sneezes into unsuspecting eyes and mouths. Love these two. School has started and took my first test. I was in such a head cold haze I had to read every true and false question 4 or 5 times. Awesome.

Loved waking up to a heart attacked door from the Young Women.

The upside about quarantining myself inside is that Drew and I started Greys Anatomy. Nothing like trashy hospital drama to make you feel better. I think Drew and I are equally in love with Dr. McDreamy.

I get personally offended whenever Drew makes fun of Meredith. I heart her... He says she looks like a platypus. Jerk.

We bought the dog fence and have yet to set it up. (All that set up requires is to plug it in.) What's the point? It's been freezing cold, and the dogs want to be outside as little as we do. Drama queens...

And this one (as seen above) got knocked up, and is here while her husband lives on the coast guard ship until baby is born. I love it, we are about to start hypno birth classes. I'm the stand in for husband. I'll probably make her take some awesome prego pictures, she'll regret it if she doesn't.

We just need to find the perfect tree branch.

This ones a little tricky because Wes isnt here to lurk in the background.

This one has both elegance and fun.

When Wes is here this will be the first thing we do, head straight to Olan Mills and take this classy, yet informative picture. Brilliant. Maybe is shouldn't blog while sick. That should be on the warning label right next to, "do not operate heavy machinery".
