April 21, 2003The fun of being an adult
We slept in a little on Sunday then decided to get up and start working on my brakes. My car's a '98, with 65K miles and had never had the brakes replaced. We knew a while back that they really needed to be done so Jeff purchased all the stuff. Of course the only days that we were ever around were rainy, nasty ones. But with yesterday being so nice, how could we pass it up? So several hours and 2 trips out (Auto Zone & Lowes) we finally finished. It's really not hard, if you have all the correct tools in the beginning. :) And I, with Jeff's prodding (and muscle assistance), ended up doing most of the work on one side; pretty cool. After cleaning up and taking it for a test drive, Jeff changed the oil in his truck while I cleaned the inside of my car. How do I get so many rocks in there?? My next project of the day was to start caulking. I'm sure some of you have noticed (especially on the stairs) where the baseboard is pulling away, leaving a nasty cracked look. Yeh..so I started on that. It's a slow process since I have to wipe everything down (so much cat hair), put the caulk on, then smooth it out, but it's so easy. Maybe I can get the rest of the house finished up this week. It's also a good excuse to clean our ledges, umm..baseboards. With the majority of our weekends filled up through the end of June it's hard to find time to do these little projects around the house. But one day I'll get to them. By the time we sat down for dinner at 8:30 I knew I wasn't going to get back up so we ordered One Hour Photo on PPV. Creepy movie. It was good though. And now it's Monday and we're all back to the daily grind. Hope everyone has a good day! (Oh, and I'll get some pictures up later..my work machine was upgraded last week and the guy didn't copy over my camera software..doh!)

"A quick run to Target afterwards to pick up some caulk pretty much completed our evening. Why is it I can't remember what else we did that night? Hmm..." Did you remember to caulk in a well-ventilated area? hehe Posted by: Safety Mom on April 21, 2003 1:48 PMWay to go on the brake work! Posted by: B on April 21, 2003 1:51 PMI washed my truck on Sunday? Wow, I don't remember that...I do remember changing my oil, though. :) Posted by: The truck guy on April 21, 2003 3:43 PMIt's Monday..what can I say? Posted by: Olivia on April 21, 2003 3:51 PMMike won't let us watch scary movies......oh well :) Sounds like we had similar weekends, getting stuff done around the house (it's a lot of work, but a good feeling to know you have a house to take care of!) Posted by: Lauren on April 21, 2003 5:31 PMAmen to that, Lauren! Posted by: Homeowner Rookie on April 21, 2003 8:50 PMI figured with Mike's zombie-obsession that he would enjoy scary movies. Hmmm..... very odd. Very odd, indeed! Posted by: Chris on April 22, 2003 9:29 AM...and that never-ending gag (no pun intended) creeps over to yet another website. Nice, Chris. Nice. :) Posted by: B on April 22, 2003 10:50 AMPost a comment
