Craziness

Before I can tell you what I really want to talk about I need to let you know a bit of history....

Carlos told me that I should use google reader for all my blogs I check. So I do and I love it. One of the blogs I subscribe to is Apartment Therapy. Now this blog is crazy cause it posts 60 times a day...and since I have about 30 other blogs I subscribe to thats about a 100 blog posts in a day. I really cant read that many posts even if all I do is just scroll thru them. Needless to say I am pretty behind (I had 584 blog posts in my reader today and over 500 were from AT) But since I had some extra time I decided to read all my blogs. And that's when I saw THIS PIC (a month late but oh well):

Okay - so what I want to tell you is that I think the fact that someone can make their own ice rink in their back yard is nuts. I mean wow. I just don't think I am well-traveled cause that would have NEVER crossed my mind. All I think about putting in my back yard is a pool. LOL!! I really love the ice rink idea. So if Carlos ever up-roots me like he is seriously considering and we move somewhere very cold, we are totally doing this. So all my Texas friends/family, check out this HOME HACK from APARTMENT THERAPY and imagine....me falling on my booty...but I would get better at it and then I could play HOCKEY.

I highly recommend AT cause its got such great design/decor ideas.

Here is a little tip/trick I use when I am reading stuff on the net and stumble across a pic of something awesome/unique. I have a folder on my desktop called IDEAS (so clever) and I always (for you pc users) right click on the pic and just save it in the folder. Then I can always go back and look at the pictures for ideas on different things. :-)

Paving the street, taking out sidewalk

Today when I came I found this:














They were re-paving our road today and evidently a truck hit our sidewalk and busted it. So we called Carlos' mom and asked her what to do and she gave Carlos a number to call and he did. While he was on the phone, all these city guys kept driving up and down the street looking at us. Who ever Carlos talked to was really nice. He said that it would be fixed right away. So we left again. And when we got home we found it "fixed".

Not uhhhh...."FIXED" like we thought. So we are going to give them the benefit of the doubt and pretend that this is just temporary and in a week call them and ask them whats up. The excitement never ends!!
