WHOOP ... again!

The weekend just got a little better. The Aggies won! We beat Baylor and we didn't even have to go into overtime to do it. Life is good!

Well, Texas just won too! Who do you root for when Texas is playing Tech? I guess you just hope for an eternal tie!


James and I slept in this morning then we spent most of the afternoon shopping. We want to have some pendant lights installed over our island in the kitchen but we found out we have to call an electrician out to do the wiring, and I'm sure that won't be cheap, then we'll just do the installation ourselves. On top of that, the lights we like are more than we budgeted and the matching 'nook' fixture that I want just adds to it. Then we went absolutely crazy in Linens N Things with our 25% Off Entire Purchase coupon. I had to print another one because they didn't have a couple of the things we needed. I think we'll finally have our bathrooms DONE after being in the house for 8 months. We also went to Best Buy where I bought a cell phone charger that was supposed to work with my phone and it SO DOES NOT! What's up with these people? It says my model number but the plug doesn't come anywhere close to fitting anywhere in my phone!! What is that all about? Whatever! At least I also got Fox and Hound on DVD and I can't wait to watch it. It was my favorite Disney movie as a kid. Todd and Copper!! "We'll always be friends. Always." I have another fun filled day of shopping tomorrow between Linens N Things to get the rest of the stuff we didn't get today and Restoration Hardware in search of cabinet hardware for the kitchen - our next project! Good thing yesterday was payday!

Our water supply comes from Lake Lavon which is 17+ feet below normal levels right now. Check out the pics! Unbelieveable!! Yes, that's supposed to be water. Too bad my lawn isn't this green!

I hope everyone else is having a good weekend. Mel, I'm jealous if the mountains and the snow in SLC. It looks heavenly! We're still pretty warm during the days, it was gorgeous and sunny today, but the trees are just starting to change colors so my commute is actually getting kind of pretty. For a while I wasn't sure if the trees were dying from the drought or if they were changing colors. HA HA HA!

You know, I think Melissa is the only person actually reading my blog because nobody else leaves messages!! :-) If you're reading, I hope you're enjoying my idiotic rambling. I'm a talker ... I never really thought I was but apparently I just can't shut up. I think it's the overall lack of human interaction I've had for the past several months while I wasn't working. I feel kinda bad for my new coworkers because I just talk and talk and talk! So I'll shut up for the night ...
