Pictures to come of house, and home. But til then let me just regale you with the following pictures
First is my seriously redneck barbeque grill. Which my grandfather salvated over, and then asked me if next time he came up, “Could I operate it?”. And then went on to tell me he did have the experience with such a set-up. I let him know that I was in fact not looking for his grilling resume, and yes Pop-Pop you can operate it.
And then there was this, which mi Madre also provided us with. Ours is different and nicer than this one, I just couldn’t find a picture of it. We’ve eaten outside every night.
Followed by one of these
Which again my mom, hauled along with her, because she is le-awesome.
Anyway, pictures of house and home to come. Til then I am le tired. And I must sleep.

The New York State Senate can not get a single thing accomplished, because they are too busy acting like 4 year olds who can’t get along in the sandbox.
They can however stop and have a moment of silence for Michael Jackson? Saying things like “Thank god we live in his time”
Seriously?
I’m sorry to all the Micheal Jackson lovers. But you know what, I think he was creepy. He held his infant son over the side of a balcony stories and stories up in the air. He released ridiculous rumors about himself just to gain publicity, he was accused not once, not twice, but several times of child molestation. He bleached his skin to change his race.
And yet this, this is someone we as a nation idolize?
Ridiculous. Fucking ridiculous.

Its been a crazy coupla days.
Things are moving along at quite the jaunt lately. we’re *supposed* to close on the house in 7 days! 7 days kids! Oh.My.God. I can’t believe how quickly time is ticking by lately. Its insane. Truly insane.
Work has been very slow, but apparently that is all about to change. Personally I prefer to not be busy in the summer, 1. Its beautiful outside and thats where I want to be, in my new backyard. 2. Who wants to work in a hot sweaty scenery shop in 95 degree weather for 8 hours a day, and 3. Who wants to do overtime in the above conditions.
Anyway, back to the throws of packing. Pictures of the new place to come soon. Followed by LOTS of happy home owner projects, and canning, and BBQ!!!

Tonight I became the stalled vehicle you always hear about on the radio.
You know the one I’m talking about, you turn on 1010 wins on ye olde AM radio, and listen to find out just how miserable you’re “drive”, and I use that term loosely, over the George Washington Bridge will be. You hear that there is in fact a 30 min delay, because of a stalled vehicle on the bridge or whatever.
Yeah tonight, that stalled vehicle screwing up your travel plans, that was me. In ye olde manual transmission pick-up truck. The truck stopped working precisely dead ever.loving.center. of the toll plazas crossing into New York, about a car length out of the tolls.
IT. LE-FUCKING-SUCKED.
I have one piece of advice for y’all, do not get stuck on a bridge or tunnel for the following reasons:
1. It is classified as a 911 emergency if you are stalled on a bridge or tunnel.
2. The port authority just comes up behind you, barks orders at you over their loud speaker pushes you off the roadway, into the back parking lot of their building and leaves you there without any further information.
3. Everyone will honk, yell, scream, and flip you off, as you sit on the brink of tears in the cab of you pick-up truck, surrounded by the boxes your mom has collected for you, since you’re moving, again, while trying to pull around you to get on their way.
And finally, when the tow truck driver shows up, he will randomly be able to fix afformentioned problem with ye olde, pick-up truck. And you will feel like a stupid girl, who is in capable of driving, even though you’ve been driving it all week to south jersey and back.

Will a woman notice?
Where does Gillette come up with this stuff.
Thoughts on things like that instead of a veil for a wedding?
Because frankly I love it. They also have a white/ivory ones that I would wear for the ceremony, and then something like this for the reception!
Thoughts anyone?

preparation of plans and specifications that depict the placement
and direction of illumination of mounted or installed lighting
fixtures in the interior or exterior of a building, including the
specification of bulbs, reflectors, lens, louvers, baffles, and
other hardware. The term does not include the preparation of shop
drawings or other directions from a manufacturer for the
installation or operation of lighting fixtures.
SECTION 4. Section 1001.401, Occupations Code, is amended

This bill will become law if signed by the governor, but it also has the votes to override a veto . BackstageJobs.com urges every designer to join with the IALD in opposing this misguided bill. Otherwise, as of September 1, 2009, there will be a lot of shows going dark.
