Fantastic Fourth Fun

Joe: "Now is the time on Schprockets when we dance."
William: "Would you like to touch my monkey?"

The above picture was taken at Austin and LL's wedding. Joe and William are making gang signs, but the captions are funnier, don't you think? I know it's "Sprockets" but we're taking some creative liberties and adding our own Williamesque touches to the pronounciation. Send me your caption ideas and I'll add them.

Good news folks! DCVS made me the long-awaited job offer I had been hoping for since my extended summer vacation began May 13th. This came just in time, as John declared he would no longer support a dead beat like myself (just kidding!). Actually, John has been so awesome through this ordeal and I never would have made it out of bed the morning after I was terminated from ATS if it weren't for him. OK... so we did have to get up at the crack of dawn to catch a flight to Dallas for Heidi's birthday celebration weekend, but John was my rock.

This weekend will be very busy, as usual. We're heading back down to the beach house and doing a long overdue mini makeover on the bathroom attached to our room. I believe everything in there is original to the addition when it was put on in the 1960's. I must remember to take a "before" picture. I'd love to rip down the gold speckled tile (capped with lavendar tile) but I think we can work with it. The floor, vanity, medicine cabinet and shower curtain are very dated and that's what we'll be changing. This weekend, we'll start with the easy stuff. The color scheme will be more "beachy", thanks to the striped shower curtain and towels we got at Target. We bought some vinyl floor tile in a light marbled white, gray and tan which should be a big improvement over the gold speckled flooring. We still need to pick out the bigger stuff (faucet, vanity and cabinets) but so far, it's been really fun looking at all the options!

About 20 Chumados and friends are coming down on Sunday for boating, volleyball and bbq. Maybe there will be some other surprises too!

Will keep you posted on my new job (YEA!!!!) and look for pics of the bathroom renovations in the next post. Till then, have a safe and happy 4th, everyone!!! Cheers!
