Happy Birthday (observed) to Daniel's Daddy and Uncle Donald
Although the day they popped into the world to surprise Grandma Mary with the news that she'd be taking home two babies instead of one was Friday, the festivities will be today. So Happy Birthday. I'll try to remember to take a birthday lunch picture to add to this post later.

Highlights from the Week
1. Thanks to Adam, everyone's favorite dungeon master, Daniel is fixing the toilet as I type, the kit was very inexpensive woohoo.
2. We learned about the dine-o-round earlier than usual and we've already hit one restaurant with plans to go to another.
3. Daniel found a new box of Harry Potter Jelly beans with some new gross flavors including skunk and pencil shavings.
4. I finished (finally) that dumb Plato research.
5. We locked ourselves out of the house and Daniel climbed in through the window and as a result kind of fixed the screen.
6. And the best of all: I found out that jerk from Best Buy got demoted and there is a new geek squad supervisor.
(note: Daniel is now yelling at the directions so we'll see if the toilet gets fixed after all.)

It just happened.
We got sucked into Hole in the Wall.
It's so ridiculous regularly, but today I almost choked on a cookie it was so funny and then almost spit up/snorted up milk, all the while as Daniel kept on saying "he's mounting her...he's an adult...they are rolling around on the floor." (They had little people you know midgets on today and one hugged the female host -in her extremely teeny skirt- and wrapped his legs around her body. Her face was utter shock.) We just realized she's wearing knee pads just for them.

Getting Ready For The Green Desert
After a little pizza at Brewviews and Mark's little Geek podcast we decided to work on signs.
I think they turned out very nice. This part of the show is going to be really fun. 
Here are some pictures. Click here to watch a funny movie I like to call "Don't Film me While I'm Dancing Like a Sissy" that I snuck while we were painting the signs. The festival show is on September 19th kinda far but I think they're planning on playing some more shows (or any shows)sometime soon. So stay tuned and I'll let you know.

One of these things is not like the other
This was a real cart that was behind me in line at the market, I had to ask to take a picture.
Life is pretty tiresome. Despite efforts to be responsible Daniel and I continue to be hit by annoyances. We worked really hard to get out of debt and build an emergency fund and it is now depleated. It's just been one thing after another this Summer. Thankfully we don't have anything but the house on payments so we can get by (thanks to Dave Ramsey's influence) but it's just exhausting. It seriously is just bad luck. It's like every (very expensive) thing we've had has died (some more than once) and inspite of research and getting professionals to pipe in on purchases we still have drama. We had a pretty good attitude at the beginning of all of this (hey that's why we had an emergency fund right) but not it's just so frustrating and tiresome now. And really I think we're fine money-wise (we can pay for it all) it's just dealing with everything and knowing that we aren't saving for a bigger place.
I started up school (I really like my students this time around) and I've had a couple of large RaeGun orders so I am extremely tired and Daniel is trying to juggle writing music for other people, getting ready for a show and changes in job stuff.
And I know that in the grand scheme of things we're still really lucky and things are good but it's still tiring and I find myself feeling bad about feeling bad because other people are having to deal with way worse.
