It's JUNE already!?

Ok, so I am really, really awful at remembering to blog. Most of the time I guess I don't feel like anything is interesting enough to send into cyberspace. Let's see, since Christmas... Well, after Hurricane Ike we discovered a leak around our chimney, water in the house, ended up with a new roof. Several months later we discovered that the new roof did not solve the problem! Water in the house again! Finally got things straightened out with the insurance company and got some money to fix our floor. Since we're doing the job ourselves, we have enough extra to finish a number of other projects that have been slow and ongoing. So my parents came down for a week and we tackled the master bathroom. We haven't used that tub for 3 1/2 years because of a hole in the tile from a previous project (don't get me started). Anyway, I finally got the tile done and decided to go ahead and revamp the whole room. Currently, the toilet, sink and old linoleum tile has been removed and I'm making some serious progress. Both tubs are getting refinished next week! Yay! Pics are on my Facebook! A sense of accomplishment just makes my day. :) I'll be making my way through the house this summer, getting all the little ends tied up. The problem is, it seems like I keep adding to the list as I go. The leaky faucet in Kaylan's bathtub has to be fixed before the refinishing job. Tried to do that last night only to find that whoever tiled in there did not leave enough space around the faucet stems to get them off... I am seriously dreading another retiling job! Ugh. Doing my best to figure out how to manage without another hole in the wall and 3 year delay. LOL

So other than that... wrapping up another year at work and ready for the summer! My 7-year lifeguarding gig has come to an end with new energy saving measures in the district. All buildings are being closed at 5pm. Since swimming lessons go until 3, no point in going up there for 2 hours. Sucks to lose the extra money but I think I'll thoroughly enjoy just having some time OFF! Looking forward to a trip to CO with my fam in a few weeks!!

Andy is busy with his new job. Constantly on the move finding new clients, learning, meetings, etc. He loves it and can't wait to get really settled in with it.

Well, I really can't think of anything else worthy of news. I vow to do better at blogging from now on. :) Let me know what you think of my new background. I made it myself but can't seem to get it quite right. Does it show up right for you???
