Home Ownership is Wonderful!

So this week has been an ok week. Thursday I slipped and fell at school but am recovering fine. It was a very controlled fall with the brunt of the fall occuring on my left knee. I had some pain in my left ankle that night and Friday but that has disappeared now. Went to the OB and had Tiny checked out and Tiny's A-OK.

Friday I attended a Technology conference, which I desperately needed after this semester with grad classes. It has me very energized to go back to work and dig my feet into stuff (well at least for the 7 weeks we have left).

This weekend I worked like usual, and the heat has been less than stellar. Chris and I did some shopping at Target and got a new carpet for our Living Room area. The old one was just temporary from IKEA but it was so full of cat hair and no matter how much I vacuumed because of the type of carpet it was, nothing would come up. The rug we got is soft to the feat and vaccums well. I already took some hairballs and vacuumed them up just to test it's vacuum-ability.



Since it's been so hot, I decided to water the small garden out in front of our home and found that some of our strawberry plants that Kim gave us are growing! We should have some strawberries soon!! =) Woohoo!



Over the last hour, Chris and I have been cleaning up quite the mess courtesy of a toilet that was clogged and overflowed. There was water everywhere in the foyer and worse it was leaking down into the basement. Luckily everything on the floor down there is in plastic tubs. However there was a ceiling fan that was going to go in Tiny's room that was leaked upon, so rather than start any electrical fires, I think we are just going to have to throw that one out. =) Chris had to run out to get some Drano or Liquid Plumber and we are going to try to get this under control soon! Hopefully.

Isn't home ownership wonderful. At least we didn't have a newborn while we were trying to deal with this too!
