Sickie and a weekend

Trevor was pulling a sickie all weekend long here (started on Friday, went to full-blown cold by Saturday). It was like living with Barry White as his voice gets all deep and croaky. He didn't sing anything though. lol

Friday night we lay low and had delivery pizza therapy. I also mowed the lawn for the second time with the new mower (love it!!!) and did a little edging with the weed-eater (which I thought was a questionable birthday present, but have now changed that stance as it's AWESOME and makes my life easier).

We did manage to get out and about on Saturday to Ikea (I bought those tall pots in WHITE), Home Depot (a few pots that were on sale -- I need to make room for my sweet pea seedlings), Cactus Club (hello key lime pie), some random furniture stores (we want to sell our two loveseats and get two chairs for the Trevorplex downstairs).

Sunday was a bit more productive around the house. I taped and painted the crown moulding in my office/hallway area, and painted some doors (first coat at least). (I also got crafty with something I bought off eBay, but I'll do a separate post on that later!)

And...we also had the first bbq'd meal of the season! We went to our favorite butcher in town and got two of the most delicious looking sirloin steaks, did a dry rub on them and voila...sooooo good. Best. Steaks. Ever. lol

You would think that by reading all of this that I dragged sick Trevor out against his will...but strangely enough he was a willing participant. I guess that might explain the naps that were taken...

Boggle anyone?

We busted out the Boggle last night and got our little brains in gear...
The funniest part was Trevor making up the word 'telsa':

Trevor: 'telsa'
Me: I don't think so. That's not a word.
Trevor: Um, haven't you ever heard of a 'telsa' coil? *Insert superior voice*
Me: Noooo... I'm going to check that out in the dictionary *Insert loud voice of word justice*
Trevor: I can't believe you haven't heard of a 'telsa' coil? Are you serious? *Superior questioning voice of disbelief that I haven't kept up with science*
Me: (on dictionary.com) AHA! YOU'RE WRONG!!! *really getting loud* IT'S A TESLA COIL....NOT A 'TELSA' COIL!!!! THAT IS SOOOO EMBARRASSING...SOOOOO EMBARRASSING!!!! *super loud and laughing*
Trevor: Oh...

Ahhh...I love Boggle.

ps - I lost...but did I really lose? ;)

At the end of the day yesterday:

Trevor needs credit

So apparently in my postings I tend to not glorify Trevor's construction skills (might give him a big head).
Let me redeem him here:

1. He has so many tools that if anything breaks/cracks/falls over it will be repaired. (But when? I ask.)
2. When he does build/fix things, they are done skillfully*.
3. He's great at planning things out.**


* And to extremes. Those skillfully crafted/repaired items can usually take the weight of a car.
** And planning. And planning. The man draws and writes on any blank sheet of paper he can find.

Props to my main peep!

A big congrats goes out my hub Trevor, he has sold his very first drill rig!

Trevor's new toy

So it's been like Christmas at our house for the past day or so, Trevor's SUPERPLEXUS has arrived. I know...it sounds like some sort of brain disease, but it's this big plastic ball that has this intricate maze inside of it that you work a little ball around. He's been waiting for it for a month or so, and the minute the notice in the mail came, we were off like a shot to the post office ('screw the next day after one o'clock pick up!', I believe, were the exact words).
