The Little Things In Life!

Hello! Happy Monday! I just wanted to share the joy of Honey Do's! (the top picture of B has nothing to do w/ my story, but just thought my little pirate was cute!) Ok, so you all know about the closet office w/ cable, well, it really is a REAL Office Closet w/ Cable TODAY! We moved the desk in yesterday. Please don't ask me how we got it in here. Do you see the pictures? I think the desk is bigger than the room. Really! We have only inches to spare on each side. I really wish I would have recorded ken and I trying to get this XXL Desk in this room. I think it will be sold w/ the house as I don't think it will come out. But it is in and it is a real live office. We have never had an office before. Life's little miracles. Hot Dog.

As pictured below, see the REAL Guest bedroom. Now, come one and come all to The Hodges Ranch in Spring Lake, NC. You will have your own room, walk in closet (sorry you can't walk in as it is filled w/ SLAH products. They don't come w/ the room either so hands off. ha!) and a Full bathroom. What more could you ask for? We'll leave the light on if you are ever in town!!!! Continental breakfast does not come w/ the room, either.

Also in the same weekend, we had a storm door installed. I just don't know what to think of the action pact weekend. Now, let there be light.

It really does not get much better than this.

Have a great week!

Me? Baking? Really?









Ok, so, Brennan's Birthday was Saturday. I actually Baked. Really! I did. I don't even cook well, much less bake decent. I am really not a good baker. But I did good.

Check out his two cakes, YES, two cakes and I even made airplane cookies. Yes, it was an airplane theme party. woohoo. Please give me a gold star!

Let me Give you an Update!

The New Office.

We are trying to move our desk/office stuff to a small room upstairs so we can have a real office. This is no more than a walk-in closet at the top of the steps, but how big do we need it to be? So, I had electric added then wanted to add Internet. So, I called DirectTV. We have always had cable modem so I did not think anything about it. They came out and added a cable outlet. The repair man says, "can I have a TV to make sure it works?" What? A TV? Oh Crap. You Idiot. I wanted Internet not TV. Nice, now my husband has another reason to get a flat screen TV. So, I call the phone company since we have VOIP (voice over IP, Internet through the phone lines - I DON"T KNOW! trying to act like a COMM person so my husband can be proud) Set up the call for them to come out and add Internet. They call the day of the appointment, "OH, we don't do that, call your electrician to install that as it goes to the Smart Box and we don't mess w/ that." Great, the electrician was just here 2 Weeks ago. Why can't it be easy to just move an office. But we have cable in the closet? ha!

So, everyone that sees the room says, "oooohhhh, isn't this a closet?" My, yes it is, but soon it will be an office in the closet w/ cable!


An Oil Change?

Ok, so today we go get our oil changed and what an experience. We got to stay in the car while they did it! Yippee! Have you ever heard of such a thing? We did not have to get out and sit in the nasty waiting room full of germs and dirt. We got to stay put right in the car. Brennan was contained. Mommy got to read a magazine. $35 and 20 minutes later we were done. Very expensive and Ken will have something to say about this! but you know what, it made my day a bit easier. I am sure others out there know about this Oil Change Revolution, but it was all new to me. Wow! What fun. I even missed our Mom's Brunch for this. Oops. Becky will have a word to say about that!

Me? Blogging?

I really can't believe I am doing this. Me? Blogging? That is just too funny. But like I always tell Brother Craig, "I am going to write a book some day". Maybe this will get me started. Ha Ha.
