I’ve been on radio silence for the last two days, because every time I turned around SOMETHING ELSE WENT KAPUT.  Seriously.  It’s been a helluva week in our world, and while we’ve come out unscathed (thus far), we’re freakin’ exhausted and counting our blessings where we find them.

Very, VERY random things to catch you up:

• You cannot connect brass fittings to a plastic hose.
• Fix-a-Flat means your tire must be replaced.
• WalMart is, in fact, owned and operated by Lucifer himself.
• Philosophy’s Shear Splendor smells like lemon custard.
• Cajun french fries do not taste cajun and taste very little like french fries.
• Cats do NOT like contract workers.
• There is no available child care in this city.

Got it?  Good.  Now you’re all caught up.

Moving on: it snowed all day yesterday.  Big ole fat snowflakes.  Which is uncommon here in HuntsVegas.  It never accumulated, but it was so cool to watch.

I have not run since last week.  I’m feeling it in my hips.

Tonight, for the first time this week, we’re sleeping in our bed at our house.  This is SO INCREDIBLY EXCITING.  Many, many thanks to my family for letting us crash at their pad while we had major construction on our house.  It was fun, but we are so ready to just sit around in our underwear and scratch ourselves.
