Snark and Pie

Sandblasting the Dust off This thing.

I received a comment from an ol' 'berry friend. I guess I didn't realize people were still reading this thing. Plus, things have been painfully busy. Everything's moving along... at warp speed. The weddin' is 3 months away from next week. The house is coming along. Next weekend we'll have the third room done. This weekend we really made headway. What else is one supposed to so when the literal ice storm of the century blows in? i've become an expert in wall prep and sanding. We've discovered I'm not good for spackling since I tend to overdo it and then we have to chip it off rather than sand.

So the ice storm...quite unbelievable really. It's the freakin' tundra outside. It kind of reminds of the Care Bears Frozen forest movie. I seem to remember a evil man that turned everything frozen by a single touch. Also has a Narnia-esque feeling from the pictures of the surrounding counties. I took the long way in this morning and it was kind of freaky once I realized that the tires track ridges were solid ice and I ricocheted back and forth btw tracks. In a nutshell, things are good. Bring it on. 2007, I come.

Survey Thingy Stolen from an old friend's blog:
