Work it. Boki

I has been pretty busy at work lately. That is a good thing. Not only does it keep me employed, but it keeps me busy drawing signs and that makes for fast days. One of our salesman was off yesterday and he got a funny voicemail in his box. It was a local greek guy frustrated Main Street wasn't there when the receptionist forwarded the call. In a heavy greek accent, "Mumble, mumble, mumble, stoopid secaratary, da man is not in his desk". I was freaking hilarious. Instead of leaving a message, he just hung up. We can't all be at our desk for the 8 hours we are there. Sorry greek bro!
Tonight we went to dinner with Uppa and Gamma. We paid tonight. It is a local pizza shop near our new house. The plan was dinner the then see the progress on the house. Dinner was fantastic...the house not so much. the progress is still slow. The tub surround came today but i don't think it is going to fit down the hall. it was just sitting at the beginning of the hallway, blocking it. With the stairs in front of the hall it make a "T" hall and i just don't think it is gonna turn. I called the builder and told him if it doesn't fit he can take it up to the second floor and i will install it up there when i do the finishing. There is no drywall on the inside walls so if it doesn't fit up there i can just knock some studs out, take it into the bathroom and nail the stud back in. Downstairs all the drywall is in so that is not an option. Though, my dad just called and had a thought to take it in the front master bedroom suite window. Even if the window is big enough, I am not sure it will work as there will still be a 90 degree turn in to the master bath.
After the house we went to Sissy, Turnbuckle and JJ's house to borrow Sissy's running stroller. Its a Juju thing, I didn't even ask. Then we stopped at the goats house to drop off a sub we bought her. She wasn't there so we just left it in the fridge. A short drive home and a buba of milk for Cooter and he is out and i am blogging.
Oh snap I almost forgot. We ran out of baby wipes yesterday and Juju found a recipe for making your own, here it is.

1 roll of paper towels (Use flannel wipes or heavy-duty paper towels for disposable wipes. i.e. Bounty-cheaper ones will fall apart)
2 cups water
1 tbsp baby shampoo or baby wash
1 tbsp baby oil

rip each sheet off and cut them the size you prefer. I like them cut in half. You can use an empty commercial wipes container or any plastic lidded container. Mix the ingredients in a separate container. Place the wipes in the container, then then add the solution, and invert a few times to make sure the wipes all get sufficiently moistened. Use just enough solution to moisten. Extra solution can generally be kept refrigerated.
She found many variations of this frugal trick, but this was the easiest.

One Floor Down, One to Go

the second floor is on. here are the pics.
this is lil' AJ. it was his first visit to our new house.
today was the anniversay of the death of juju's dad. it's been eight years.

I met her in the summer of 2000 just after her dad died. i never met him, but everyone tells me we would have got along. we all had dinner at the goat's house. juju's sis and 2 bros families and of course Buscha. hey, i just noticed juju fixed the date stamp. horray.

juju's bro went to his baby's (pooker) termination hearing this week. since the mom and dad are AWOL. he had to go and let the judge know his and his wife's intensions to adopt Pooker. he said it was all of 2 minutes. we will probably have to do the same thing as cooters parents are gone too.

turnbuckle came over to the new house to get a feel for the HVAC runs. it looks like it will be pretty easy. i was kind worried as there is a big LVL (beam) down the middle of the house that will block any possible runs from one side to another. i think we figured it out. so all is good.
