All I Want for Christmas...

is a new kitchen floor. I've been wanting a new kitchen floor since we moved into this house six years ago. The flooring was old linoleum that just would not come clean.

I had hoped to have the new flooring installed several months ago, but we ended up waiting until just before Christmas to get the project going.

The new flooring is 12 x 12 composite tile that required special pre-mixed grout. Problems working with the grout made the two-day project last four days. But, the end result is quite nice.

The guy at the Taco Bell drive thru is quite the joker. Watch this video for a few laughs...

Christmas Decorations

After Bruce got the Christmas lights up on the front of the house, I was thinking of ways to jazz up the empty flower boxes. A quick shopping trip to Big Lots and 10 minutes of arranging and the boxes don't look so empty any more.

More Christmas Fun @ CVS

Buy three American Greetings cards at CVS and you earn the privileged to buy these singing Christmas Bears for $4.99 each (see video below). Not sure what the big deal is... they don't even move.

I'm Not A Computer Expert

I know how to surf the web, send email, use a few computer programs, burn CDs, resize photos and a few other things that may make me seem like I know a lot about computers.

But, other than using a computer, I don't know much about computers. In fact, when my computer gives me the blue screen of death or similar error messages, the only thing I know to do is to shut it down, shake it and then turn it back on.


So, if anyone out there in computerland knows what this means, let me know.

The back yard was full of critters today.
