Back in business

Posted on July 6, 2007 by Laurie Blundell

Jonathan got his new bike last night so we had to go test it out and ride around the block for a little while….If you remember a while back I wrote that Jonathan and I were going to start riding our bikes to get exercise…well I took one look at him on his bike and said “there’s no way you can ride that bike comfortably.” I’m pretty sure it’s a 16 inch bike…mine is a 17.5 inch frame and I’m 5’2. It was pretty funny and he said it wasn’t comfortable to ride so we invested in a nice bike for him. He was talking about how much nicer and easier it was to ride than his old one…I believe it! So we are back in business and going to start riding again…we both need it!

HOV Lane now the SOV lane?

Posted on July 3, 2007 by Laurie Blundell

Did I miss something, has the HOV lane (HIGH occupancy vehicle lane) turned into the SOV lane (SINGLE vehicle lane) overnight? On my way to work this morning I passed about 10 cars (no exaggeration) with just one person in them, the driver. That isn’t high occupancy, unless they have multiple personalities…then that’s just a whole other problem. It just irritates me when I’m stuck in traffic going 5mph and here comes Mr. I can do anything I want going 60mph all my his onsey in the HOV lane. Geeze…owell

Tile Layin Fool

Posted on July 2, 2007 by Laurie Blundell

This past weekend we finished up the tile work at the Treadaway’s house. A couple of months back we tiled the den and kitchen, and this weekend we finished up the dinning room and hallway. So we ripped up the carpet, layed the tile and now we just have to go back and finish up the shoe molding around the edges. The kitchen also needs shoe molding but the stain was a little too light to work so we have to redo that. I think we are all pretty sore today, I am for sure. Jonathan mentioned it on his blog, but if there’s anyone in the Waxahachie area with a hot tub that’s not in use, Jonathan, Josh and I would sure appreciate it!

paddle boat

Posted on July 2, 2007 by Laurie Blundell

Did any of ya’ll need a paddle boat to get to work this morning or was it just me? If it keeps raining I’m going to have buy a jet ski just to get to and from work. Yesterday the news anchors were making a fuss about how severe the weather is and how in Ellis county there was small stream and urban flooding…what does that mean? Just kidding. I am getting tired of the rain…Jonathan and I have been wanting to pull up all the plants, shrubs and such around our patio and lay some sod for the pres-in-ator but it won’t quit raining long enough to do it. Last weekend was about the only weekend that has been sunny in a while and we couldn’t go to the pool because it was closed for maintenance…not cool! Our patio also has so many weeds that have sprouted because of the rain, it looks like a jungle. Hope you all stay dry.
