Fanny Ate My Blog

We've been a little bit busy lately. Sunday night we went to Home Depot and bought The Skinniest Tree in The Whole World for a remarkably low, low price of $29.95 plus tax. While we were there, we decided to pick up a little paint as well. After all, we are getting married and celebrating Christmas at the end of the month-- so what better time to paint the bathroom? (We got paint chips for the living room as well, but don't hold your breath.)

This afternoon, we decorated the tree and wrapped presents, and oh yeah, we attempted to put together the new garden arbor we just bought. Because we are getting married and celebrating Christmas at the end of the month-- so what better time to relandscape the backyard? But, we had some problems. This is the second "Arbor in a Box-- just add manual labor!" that we tried to assemble. The first box had some random parts missing so we exchanged it, but now this one has some different random parts missing. Dave's theory is that we used a 40% off coupon so they simply took out 40% of the pieces.

Unfortunately, Dave is pulling some long hours down at the salt mines. Ten hour days, six days a week, doesn't leave him with a whole lot of extra time, so I'm pretty much on my own with the bathroom. But Fanny and Mick are more than willing to assist me in any way possible. If you happen to see a cat and dog walking around town sporting a festive blue dye job-- that would be my little helpers.

All of this is my way of saying: my entries may be a bit spotty for the next few weeks. Oh, and the dog ate my blog.
