Howdy!

My husband is finally home, hooray!  Three weeks he's been gone.  THREE WEEKS!  It was awful. LOL  I planned to be productive this weekend, really.  BUT our house had different ideas.  An idea like a busted pipe which soaked through the drywall on the stairs and soaked the carpet too.  Yay! Not.  Here's the area that was sopping wet.  See the paint bubbling up?  Yeah, awesome.

Luckily I'm married to Superman and he happened to arrive home in the nick.  Wait, you wanna take off the cabinets I just lovingly painted and caulked?   Noooo! 

Waaaa! :'(

I was so scared but in the end there wasn't much damage done.

Found the leak!

Fun with soldering

My poor kitchen

The worst part of this whole fiasco was the dust created by cutting drywall.  Yuck!  Looked like it snowed in my kitchen.  No bueno. 


Got it all patched up after we let it dry for awhile.  I left a handy note on the first hole we cut which wasn't in the correct place.  Now it's a drywall time capsule. ;) That was our fun this weekend.  After cleaning the kitchen up I was drained so we did a lot of vegging out the rest of the time.  Walking Dead marathon, that sort of thing. 

In other news, I called to order a medium pizza and 24 piece wings yesterday and it was 40 bucks!  I said never mind and headed to Stater Brothers instead.  Got 2 pizzas and a bag of wings for $17.  Much better.  $40 is insane.  Just insane.  Couldn't do it.

I got a happy surprise yesterday when I got an email notifying me that someone left a comment on my blog.  Turns out Miss Elizabeth over at www.chasinmasonblog.com (wife to my friend Seth from high school) wondered if I'd like to guest blog on hers next month!  She does a segment on Mondays, #boymoms where guests write about being a mommy to boys.  Seth told her that I had a blog and boys, maybe I'd be interested...  And boy am I!  I'm so excited, I can't tell you.  Fun stuff!  I'll be doing that on December 15th so be sure to check it out.  Of course I'll remind everyone (all 3 of you) when it happens.  ;)

It has prompted me to analyze my blog though and I've come to realize that it's quite unprofessional looking.  She couldn't even email me because I don't have a link to it on here.  Der.  Lucky for me my friend Tracy who is my partner in Pinterest crime just happens to have a degree in marketing and is really great at html and whatnot.  She's agreed to class this joint up soon so be on the lookout for my blog makeover. 

Next weekend the fam and I will be heading to Lake Silverwood to camp and fish.  Super excited for that too.  Been a long time since we've gone camping.  The boys are at a better age than they were last time we went camping in Pismo Beach. 

Anyhoo, that's all for now. 
Peace!
