TORN!!

-We really haven't been up to much lately. We didn't travel this weekend though, so HURRAY for us!
-Allergy season is in full swing and we are both gulping down the Zyrtec like it is the sweet nectar of life...
-Charly has long enough hair to finally "style" it!
--I broke the television amidst my cleaning rampage...
-I spray painted our side table because it was ugly and needed some help since I stole it from my dad six years ago...
-Pocatello has some freaky bugs here, no doubt!

So, yes...I broke our TV we won 3 years ago when I was an RA at Western. Ben had to drink a full 16 oz of Syrup the fastest to win that sweet puppy and I broke it on Wednesday. WOOOPS! It is a mammoth of a TV by 2009 standards:D I decided on Wednesday the home needed rearranged because I was so sick of all the hairy mammoth spiders kickin-it in mi hacienda...no mas peeps...NO MAS!

I was doing good...until I set the huge arse TV on the couch...heavy side in of course. Well, she sure did fall off. That old familiar feeling set in when I broke something when I was still living at home. Thankfully, Ben has AMAZING control over his temper (that trait waved bye-bye to me long ago!!!) and said maybe it was a blessing....yeah, ok, sure, whatever...I JUST BROKE OUR TV! My lifeline to good laughs and shutting my brain down ....BOOO!

Then I got to thinking...he really is right. I have been so much more productive these last couple of days without sitting down here and there to watch a quick something. Ben actually studied the last couple of nights.

So now, I pose a question...do we save and buy another one? I am thinking heaven's yes, but seeing how much gets done without one...maybe not?

OH HOW I AM TORN!!! I bet we last a month without a TV and we break down and buy another one:D

SO I am loving doing charly's hair. She is so stinking beautiful! I love it!







Please leave a comment if you would like about my TV dilema...if you think we shall purchase another one or if we are better off without it!!!
I would love to hear personal experiences on this one! I need some help!

Travelers

First of all, I have to say thanks to Shalae for the picture. She posted it on her blog so I just HAD to have one of my own:D
This is our family! We all got together this last weekend for Phil's farewell. It was fun to have us all there. I am so fortunate to say I look forward to spending time with Ben's family. It was a great weekend full of good food, laughs, and did I mention good food?
As for the traveling bit...Ben and I never cease to have to travel. We traveled on Friday back to Star Valley with Jeff's boat that got fixed here in Pocatello. After we dropped that off in SV around 4:30, we headed down to Kemmerer for Tiffany's wedding reception. Left Kemmerer around 8:30 pm. Then we drove all the way back to Pocatello and got home around 11:15. We did all of this amidst a very sick Charly and Ben having loads of school work to study for. It was crazy.
I hope this month we can stay home a weekend. We have traveled every weekend for the past two months. It is getting old. So if you want to see us...you have to come over:D
