Gardener Arden Grace?

So, whilst thinking up some baby names for the one to come, I stumbled upon a random baby name generator... It comes up with first and middle names and lets you know if they hit the top 100 or 1000 in the US... Some of the ones that came up were:
-Taliessen Remy
-Rylee Sadie
-Rickie Lanna
-Abiela Tzigane


Here opens the door to the Grace Family Baby Name Contest... This is your last chance to offer your spin on the whole "baby name" deal. It is a GIRL, as you can clearly tell from the above suggested names, so think pink.

If your baby name is featured in our Baby's name card at the hospital, you'll win a coffee mug of your choice from our cupboard to go along with a glass of eternal bragging rights, knowing that you made your mark in the baby world without doing any real work.

Gettin Old...

I spent about an hour and a half installing laminate floor upstairs tonight and now I have a really sore elbow and hand... This stuff seemed to be goin in easier than the last stuff I installed... Ah well... I have 2 rows left to do, the only complications being the register and the closet... hooray for Saturday.

Today's Slurpee Conditions

As of 2100 hours, the conditions in Cambridge are cold and thick with runny cream soda. Refreshing, though...

How's that for original?

A little runny, but delicious nevertheless.


That is all... and yes this is an original idea.

If the women don't find you handsome...

So, Faith bought a dishwasher for her birthday a month ago and it's been in our dining room in the box since. That left me with figuring out how to get it installed. So, I called a plumber and booked a couple days off work to get this done.. We had a dishwasher in our last place and had some cupboard space that was prettymuch useless here.
So, thursday I swung by the mall to pick up a day-labourer (AKA Adam Collins) and underwent the task of removing the cupboards and preparing them for a dishwasher. Between the two of us, we did a pretty sweet job of dismantling the existing cupboard and putting it partially back together as shown to leave a space for the dishwasher and a small space for pans/dishrack etc. We also figured that since the plumber wanted the electrical stuff done before they came, that we could play electrician for a bit and consulted my Home Depot DIY book to figure out how to install a breaker and run electrical line.
The electrical stuff was surprisingly easy and quick, the longest part being the trips to home depot and Crappy-Tire for parts, and parts we forgot the first time... Anyways, Mike the plumber came and hooked it up (WOW am I in the wrong career... gouge $$$) and we have a functioning dishwasher... yippee
Now I'm a bit confident with electrical crap... still don't want to touch plumbing. The margin for error with plumbing is very small.

Seven-11

Faith pointed out the other day that friday was to be the glorious day of 7-11-2008, none other than the birth of 7-eleven. On this day they celebrate by giving anyone and everyone a small slurpee for FREE... just turns out that I either completely miss it or, like yesterday, completely forget it... bugger.

Let me know if you made it ( for those of you who still wander to this blog.)
