I programmed my GPS so the girls could see how long it is going to take to get to the Ocean City tomorrow. We have been telling them that it should only take 6 1/2 hours. Bethany was disgusted when the GPS came up with 6 hours, 33 minutes and 14 seconds. She will be devastated when she realizes that the trip time does not include any stops. I'm sure we will have our fair share of them. Bathroom tour 2010...
I saw this over at Aaron’s Blog Arms Wide Open. Aaron just lost his mother three weeks ago and a friend of his just lost a family member to cancer.
Together lets lift up my friend Aaron, his friend and anyone else grieving from the loss of a loved one in prayer.
This is a great song and video from Kari Jobe. Keep Singing God’s Glory!!

I saw this over at Jon Acuff’s blog Stuff Christians Like and at Carlos Whittakerls blog Ragamuffin Soul. Its origin is from NewSpring Church.
This just moved me…My hope is that it moves you also.
Like Tim the Tool-Man. *grunt grunt*
You know where I stand with anything Ryobi. I saw this outside of Home Depot and just had to take a picture. Then I have to admit that I was looking for him in the store, like he had free samples or something. How pathetic.
Ribbed concrete outside of Slowe's, I mean Lowe's. This is what I looked at for almost 45 minutes while they located our new grill. I went with the one I posted about. The Char-Broil Urbqn Grill. I like it so far.
We are on the hunt for a new grill. I don't see what all the hype is about Weber grills. We are not looking to take a loan out for one. I can't believe the price tag on some of these. I wish Coleman still made grills. Our last one lasted almost ten years and did not cost us any limbs. We have done the homework and it looks like this may be the one. We are questioning the Infrared Grilling surface. It is Char-Broil's Urban Grill. The price is only $269, and I will store it out of the weather. Anyone have any luck with Infrared grilling? This is also considerably smaller then what we used to have. To be honest we don't cook for a lot of people. I figure this will save on fuel. When we have a party we can borrow a second grill.
Two and a half years ago, I purchased a Ryobi One+ 18 volt cordless power tool, super combo kit (it is actually not available anymore, the super combo kit II has replaced it). The Purchase price was $150 and and came with a $70 rebate. So let me explain what came with my package and some of the accessories I purchased after being completely satisfied with the original kit.
The original super combo kit came with a 1/2 inch drill, a 5 1/2 inch circular saw with blade, a reciprocating saw with blade, finish sander, a dust vacuum, a one hour quick charger, two Ni-Cad batteries, and big carrying bag. The original purchase took place at Home Depot, which provided a $69.99 rebate which enabled me to purchase the impact driver with Philips bit and 1/4 to 3/8 adapter. I have also purchased a 3/8 inch right angle drill, a radio and finally today I purchased a jig saw with laser guide and two blades.
Overall this combo kit is a workhorse. I would not suggest it for a contractor, it most likely would not hold up to the constant use. My personal contractor, brother-in-law, who runs his own construction business, has expressed complete satisfaction with this product for the average handy man. The tools are powerful, durable, and hold/use the battery charge well. The only disadvantage I have is the charger connections started to give me problems about one year into use. They just needed reseated to make a proper connection and has been fine since.
The versatility of this tool is amazing. There are several different specialized tools you can buy that utilize this same battery. Another great feature of this platform, is you can us either the Ni-Cad batteries (what came with my combo) or you can use the new lithium batteries with them also. As the batteries age, I will definitely be upgrading to the new technology.

I groo...I mean I shaved Romy today. I won't qualify what I did as grooming. I saved the family spending plan $40. Thank goodnes it will grow back quickly. If she could talk, she would have asked "Don't you need a license to buy let alone operate those clippers.?" The females of the household insist that she needs the sweatshirt with hair this short.
When the flowers start to pop up and out of the soil it is time to wear these. I am really loving this weather.
Flight paths. Two of them. I snapped this with my phone last week, when the sun was out from behind the clouds. I am missing the sun right now.
This is the tile my brother-in-law and I installed today on our countertop in our attic. Tomorrow I will be grouting and finishing the plumbing.

Okay, obviously beer, fish, and pizza help me loose weight. Seriously, we ate out everymeal this past weekend. But I did pay attention to what I ordered and ate. For example, at Willies (a local pub) I usually would order a large fish sandwich, I ordered a small and still walked out satisfied. At AppleBees I chose the 7 ounce steak instead of the 10, & the steamed veggies instead of the baked potato loaded with butter & sour cream. I also have been working a ton in the attic attempting to finish things up. I'm happy to finally be a loser. Even if it is only a few pounds.
You really don't have to look close. It has not changed. 199 189. On a positive note, it did not go up. At least it is not a step backwards. I exercised a little more, but obviously not enough to make a big impact. I'm feeling a little better, but I want to feel better yet.
PS. Pardon the correction, I posted it with my enV touch and it added an instant 10 pounds to the weigh in. Who needs that kind of help…
