PERMANENT MOVE

no, i'm not talking about our our annual ritual.  (are you kidding?!)

friends, the time has come for the bantam menace travelogue to settle into a new home. this is also me simplifying and being efficient.  (and not having to upload photos on blogger anymore!  can you hear the angels singing?!)

the new site is still under some construction, and will be home to all of my endeavors, but the blog is ready to rock.  i hope to see you there!

you heard about it here first:    www.madjeepgirl.com

<---  the lengths christopher goes to to keep his shirts from wrinkling after he puts them on.

open for traffic!

so my dad's been working the last couple summers or so on cementing his driveway.  it's 1/4 mile long and he finished the final pour yesterday.  when he and mom came home last night from town, this is what they saw.  their neighbor, Doug, put it up.  i love it!!!  

(also the cement deliverers didn't charge him for this final section, which was amazingly kind, and they gave him sealant for free.  yay dad!)  

3 months 10 days

christopher turned 32 today.  the celebration involved mongolian bbq, guitar hero, adult beverages, on the border and a professional massage.  and buying video games.  

finding chris' spit on the side of my car was NOT part of the celebration.

i honestly do not get that about guys.  spitting in general, let alone spitting out the car window.

though my laundry finished in just enough time for me to get dressed and leave for today's assignment in zeeland, i had a good afternoon.  it's not often i get the privilege of holding an actual two-sided conversation with an attorney, let alone one who seems genuinely interested in my part of it.  my faith in humanity is restored, if for the moment.  i actually drove out of the parking lot thinking about what a unique and interesting life i have.  

do you ever look up and see that your pet is standing on top of their crawl tower, looking at you with this strange stare, and then they lick their chops?!  she may be a cat (and a fat one) but it's still a little disturbing!  i can only imagine what she must be thinking.
