Ever since I was a little girl I have always enjoyed doing projects on our houses with my dad. Anything from digging up our basement to dig in a sump pump, to building an addition onto our old house, to changing the color in my room every three months. I have met my match! Connor is the know all, do all master at house projects. It's been a really fun way for us to spend time together. Our first major project together was stripping the old wood paneling off his basement walls, floating a new wall, texturizing it, trimming and painting it. The end result looks fantastic. Even though there is still tons to do down there, it's the first step to having a kick-ass basement, and the best part of it all it' something we love doing together. awww :)

As I sit here on a beautiful Saturday morning in a Vicodine haze, I'm thankful my hand is finally fixed. I had a minor surgery yesterday to fix a small but persistent problem on my hand. It all started this summer when I smashed my hand between the forklift and some sandstone. Ignoring the problem and hoping it would heal on its own, I thought I was in the clear. Well ...then my ring and pinkie fingers started going numb and I started developing a huge cyst on the top of my hand. In relativity it's a minor issue compared to all the other surgeries and fixes I have had. I almost felt silly sitting there in pre -op for such a minor thing. On the other hand I am now happy I have feeling back in my fingers. Thanks to Dr. Reid and some Vicodine my problem is fixed. :)
