Wahoo!

HOSS PASSED HIS DENTAL BOARDS!

For anyone who doesn't know how big of a deal that is, well, it's huge. He opened the letter before I got home, so I didn't capture the moment on camera, but he is so glad, he has finally been able to relax and start some of our home improvement projects that we planned to do when we moved in. I am pretty excited too, I don't have to paint alone anymore!

Project #1: My Laundry Room and Half Bath

I didn't catch the before before picture, but this is after the demo before the upgrade...now that I have posted this pic that puts the pressure on to actually finish it so I can post an after pic.

In other news, we spent a great weekend in Casper. It started out a bit rocky since I had to go to the dentist. I would really hate my dentist, except he is my father-in-law, unfortunately, by association he takes the rap for all previous dental and orthodontic experiences in my life, but it is nothing against him. We thought I had a cavity, but it turned out it was just a chipped filling, so he fixed that and then decided to take out a Wisdom tooth as well. I hate shots especially in the palate, and as my heart started beating in anticipation and the adrenaline started pumping MiniB started punching harder than ever and Daddy-to-be finally got to feel it. Soon after that he started drilling on my extracted tooth, which is apparently nothing like drilling on the plastic teeth in lab. Finally I had to drive myself home because when we go to Casper Hoss leaves me for his Father.

On a less numbing note, my amazing Queen of Garage Selling (that is her official title) mother-in-law found me a practically new Boppy (what a weird name for a pillow) which I have already put to use to keep the blankets from pushing down on my feet at night (the number of pillows I sleep with is increasing exponentially, the only trouble is when ever I move I have to re adjust all the pillows so part of me is still touching Hoss).

And the best thing she found was this...


...brand new, never been used or even opened, sewing machine, which she gave me as an early birthday present, and it was only $20! I would have to garage sale for weeks for a find like that, that's probably why I will stick to Craigslist, but I don't mind reaping the benefits of the Queen.
