I Like Him

This is Ronnie at this very minute. He is chatting on the phone on the front porch and I snuck a picture...

Tonight I walked over to Food Lion to grab a few things in case Earl decides to visit us this week.  I was walking back through the parking lot and a big truck was coming at me. In my mind, I'm thinking he obviously has to see me. STOP is painted on the ground. He'll definitely stop. There are other people walking near me so he'll see them too. Well the truck doesn't see me and I run/jump out of the way. A man that was walking near me says, "He almost hit her!" and others are staring at me and mumbling to each other. The man in the truck rolls down his window and says "I'm sorry." He obviously has a hard time driving, talking on the phone, and smoking at the same time.  I mean I was in plain view.

At the time that I am jumping out of the way of the truck I was wondering if I was going to get hit and thinking..what is Ronnie going to think?

When I get home, I tell Ronnie what happened. He says, "You're not allowed to walk over there anymore."

Yeah, he loves me.

Ronnie-Age 2....What a cutie.

Workin' Hard

The past couple weeks we've been chipping away at the guest bath. The people before us left us with purple seashell wallpaper and even left the purple trashcan, purple shower curtain and a purple shell soap dispenser. Lucky us! So...we took down the purple seashell wallpaper and then prepped, primed, and painted the top couple feet of the wall.

Then this past Friday we worked on taking the vinyl floor out. There were three layers! When we started pulling it up it smelled horrible...like really bad old man BO...not pleasant.

On Saturday we started (well Ronnie started) to lay the new tile. We're almost done with that. Then next is the beadboard.

Stay tuned for the final product (in a week or two or three...)! Hopefully our toilet won't have to sit out back for too much longer!
 P.S. I've put up comment monitoring since there are SO MANY spam comments...sheesh.
