Bathroom Update

I know it seems like our home projects go on for ever. Well, they really do. We are as completed as we are going to be for right now, but sometime in the spring I would like to buy some molding, stain it and frame the mirror. But until that time I'm going to call the bathroom complete. Here are a few pictures of it. You can't tell it from these pictures but we painted the cabinet and added new hardware. The knobs are elephants. It is amazing what a new light fixture and hardware can do for a room. We probably redid this room for $250.00 and it looks amazing.

Tonights Dinner

My first attempt at making crockpot Jambalya. It turned out pretty good. Next time I will add something to make it a little hotter.

More Things People Say

The following was a comment that was left the other day by an Anonymous reader:

The "Bo" thing is sickening. You aren't Bo and Hope!! Please shut it!
What is funny to me is that I had no clue who Bo and Hope were until I Googled them. Now I have a better idea who they are, but I'm still not sure why this was left on my blog. I probably shouldn't give it a response and explanation. But I can't help myself.
Why I call my husband Bo? It is a nick name his family gave him way before I came along and his family and people from his home town call him this. Actually one of the first times I heard him referred to as Bo consistently was at our wedding shower in his hometown.
I had always thought that I would marry a man whose name started with the same letter as my name, but sadly it didn't. My parents and grandparents have first names that start with the same letter and I always thought this was cool. So when I started my blog I just decided to call my husband by his nickname so that we could have first names with the same letter. It just seemed funny to me.
So in no way does this have anything to do with soap characters from the 1980s that I didn't have a clue who they were.

Movie Review

Monday night was the BCS National Championship and Bo didn't really want to watch it. You see he is an Alabama fan and he just couldn't see Auburn in this game. I know that it sounds crazy and you probably have to live in Alabama to understand it. So we went to the movies. His choice. Next time it is my choice.
We ended up seeing True Grit. Since westerns are not my favorite kind of movie I wasn't really looking forward to it, but I went anyway.
I have to say I really liked this movie. It had some funny parts in it and as a woman I had to love the grit and determination in Mattie Ross' strong character. Hailee Steinfeld was great in this movie and really held her own against Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon. I would highly recommend this movie and I know that I will watch it again when it comes to DVD and Blue Ray.

The Things People Say

Today Bo and I went to the Dr. to see how I'm progressing towards the delivery of our baby. Everything is going great!
As we were sitting in the waiting room Bo and another expectant dad started talking, part of their conversation went like this...

Other Dad: Is this your first Baby?
Bo: Yes.
Other Dad: You waited a while didn't you?
Bo: I guess?

I couldn't help, but laugh. Bo has a few grew hairs, but that is about it.

People just seem to say anything to us.

New Storage Building

I guess this means Bo and I officially have to much stuff. Actually the old building beside the new one smells like gas and motor oil because the is were the lawn mower and manly out door stuff is keep and who really wants to store the Christmas decorations next to that.

i finally gave in and broke down and agreed to another building. The new one is slightly larger than the old one because we just didn't understant how it was going to made. Our fault not theirs. Now I have a new building that I'm sure it will get filled with time, and then I'm moving to a larger house.

ICE Storm

We didn't receive any snow, but we did get ice. Bo braved the outside this morning to see how much ice we really got.

This ice is hanging off my car
One of the bushes out front.
Hanging from the roof.
Because we live in the south and this so rare we got the day off work.
