I’m getting much closer to the look I’m after for this blog. There is still some work to be done for image, video, and aside post formats but things are really shaping up.

Got some new shoes yesterday. The Vibram 5 Finger KSO. If yo don’t know about them, they have a more glove like construction. Each toe has it’s own little home, and the sole is pretty thin and conformed to be more like bare feet. All in all it doesn’t feel like I have shoes on, they are actually less noticeable than socks, well maybe not the really low profile socks. In any case, I’m hoping they help ease foot discomfort at camp. Click through for details.
Finally, we have been looking for a long time, trying to find the vehicle that gives us everything we want for the price we want to pay. Looks like we found it after months. Have to drive 2 hours then finish negotiations, then another 2 hours back. I wish it were closer, but the local places didn’t seem interested in helping us get a new to us car. I’ll be posting pics once we own it, well own most of it, the bank will have the title for a while.

Had one of those weird waking dreams just as I fell asleep last night. Usually it takes a while before I hit dream level sleep, but last night I think my eyes were still open as I saw two guys walking through the wall I was facing then one pointed a gun or something at me. I yelled “Holy Frak!!” Not in my dream I actually yelled it. Freaked out my wife big time.
So it turns out my dreams must have a network censor or something.
I spent the past ... well I think almost a week getting things prepped, waiting for installation, and finishing the hookup of everything, but my parents' new counter tops are in and the plumbing is … View Gallery

We have been without counters or a sink since Sunday after church. The counters were supposed to be installed on Monday, but there was a pretty big mix-up, so they didn’t get installed till Tuesday, then we had to wait 24 hours to install the plumbing. I have completed most of it, but the drains don’t match with the old sink, so I’m off to the store, hopefully for the last time on this project, to get supplies to get’er done.
I really hate remodeling.

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men: Remodeling
I had a pretty active weekend, in addition to the Easter plans and Angel Food distribution, I also helped prep my parents kitchen for new counter tops. They ordered the counter tops a couple of weeks ago, and later that same week someone came out to take the final measurements and make a template. They scheduled for the new counter to be installed today, so we had to work hard all weekend to get things ready. Monday we pulled the old counter and sink, expecting a new one to be in place by dinner Monday. The installers didn't come at the earliest part of their time span, which is fine … [Read more...]
Saturday it rained like mad, then Sunday was beautiful, Monday was too. Today has been cloudy, drizzly, blah. These are “Eeyore Kinda Days.” I don’t really want to get out of bed or get anything done. Still, lot’s to do so I better just get it done.

So I’m watching an ad, rare event for me, where a woman is waiting for an interview. The voice over says something about “having the perfect outfit for the interview” then goes on to explain how Kohl’s has a great selection, great prices, and a no hassle return policy. My take away is that if I don’t get the job I can return the outfit since that was clearly the problem.
Maybe I’m over thinking things.
