Wysiwiging it up!

Who woulda thunk it!

Not me.

With all the stuff we have going on, I complete forgot to post and put up pictures of my new car....that I got back in February.

What do the following items have in common:
Two cloths
Three copper pipe fittings (one in a sealed bag)
Two drywall screws
Velcro cable organizer
Two cut zip ties
One marble
One roll of teflon tape
One computer ribbon cable
One blank computer face plate

Give up? These are all items I found in my subwoofer downstairs.
I caught Luke trying to put a large screwdriver into the port hole on the subwoofer. I told him no and didn't think much of it. Later on I lifted it up to put it in it's new home and heard some rattles. I finally got around to taking it apart to see what I would find and low and behold, I found a treasure trove of sorts!

Every time I told Jenn what all I had found I looked around some more and found MORE stuff.

For those of you not in the know yet, I think this will really help.

Jenn got me a frother for Easter. I made a delicious latte today that was quite tastey if I do say so myself.
Thanks Jenn

Some of you may already know of my obsession for all things coffee. I just can't get enough of this tasty, strong, flavorful hot drink (or cold). In fact, while typing this, my senses are getting so excited, I can LITERALLY smell the coffee in my nose.

So I decided to start a new category about coffee and share some of the many things I have learned about this mysterious dark drink.

The first one is to share about the most important thing you can do for yourself if you like coffee.
Buy yourself an Aeropress - TODAY

If you have never had a truly great cup of coffee, you owe it to yourself to try this. If you have had a truly great cup of coffee, it means you probably got it from a coffee shop and you owe it to yourself to try this so you can make great coffee at home. If you think you've had a great cup of coffee at home, you owe it to yourself to try this because you'll realize afterwards than you've never had a truly great cup of coffee.

This thing is amazing and I really can't say enough about it. ALL the flavor, and none of the bitterness. Everyone I've made a cup for has said it's one of the best if not the best cup of coffee they've ever had.

So now that I am done writing about it, I am off to make myself another cup!

I laid the last tiles yesterday. I believe it's somewhere in the range of 150-175 tiles total.

Also my dad came over and we bought the circuit breakers for the electrical and installed them. I will start on the wiring this week.

We also cut the holes for the heating/cooling and installed the registers.

Put 38 more tiles down yesterday! Whew. What a pain
Just like 50 more to go.

I'm gonna redo the gallery this weekend and get some pictures online.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him ..

Just wanted to say, Happy Birthday Jenn, the love of my life!
