North Carolina

Last weekend Doug and I went up to the cabin and did...nothing. The whole weekend was amazing and very beautiful. There is really not much to tell...Doug played his guitar, Dad played on the computer and Mom and I chilled out and talked. We also primed the steps going up to the loft. Here are some before and after pictures although I did not get a picture before I had ripped up the shag carpet that was stapled to each step!

Epiphany

I had two life changing epiphanies yesterday!

1.) People drink hot drinks (hot chocolate, cider, coffee) in the winter to warm up and cold drinks (icee, slush, ice cream, milkshake) during to summer to cool down.
Why are we trying to defy nature? When it is cold outside we frantically try to slurp down the hot drink so that it does not get cold and when it is hot we eat our ice cream as fast as we can before it melts. I propose that we reverse the trend and go with the flow rather that against it! Yesterday I had a cup of coffee while it was ninety degrees out. I set the cup on the top of my car and talked to my uncle for an hour. Lo and behold, when I returned my coffee was still hot! Ahh, although not cooling, VERY refreshing!!!

2.) Workout.... ever wonder where the term came from? Yesterday I put 1500 screws into the building (by myself...mwaahahaha hahhahahahahha...okay back to the epiphany). Later I was thinking that I should have worked out while I was still gross from ...... working outside ...... are you picking up what I am laying down? Okay I will explain!
Once upon a time there was a small family of country folk. They were healthy and fit. Although they worked very hard the family farm was not able to provide enough for the whole family. They moved to the city to find work. Once settled they realized that, although they had enough money, they were not as healthy or fit as they once were.
"Honey I miss working outside."
"Maybe we can pretend that we are working outside."
"How can we do that?"
"We can grab some bricks from the building next door and pick them up over and over again. We could shorten working outside to workout because it is a cheap excuse for the real thing!"

There you have it my friends... a glimpse into my thought processess for a day!

The Building

To make Maggie feel like she could help I had her hand me a nail everytime I yelled out "NAIL" in my very best red-neck, dirty, man yell!

Fishing in Texas

While I was in Texas this past time my mom, Brennah and I went fishing together! The story is self-explanatory!
