Man this thing took forever to refinish, but sure enough Jenn and I got it done before the baby and before the move. Please check out the lovely before and after photos. Hope this little jewel lives up to the hype Jenn and I have been giving it…and if not well just don’t leave a comment how ’bout that! I’m out!

BEFORE

AFTER

I’m just watching the news stunned at the unfolding airport threats. Apparently the UK uncovered and apprehended a group of terrorists that were going to detonate a bomb targeting 10 planes coming into the U.S. Their plan to combine a red dyed reagent with a sports drink and detonate it using a flash from a disposable camera was thankfully thwarted. It has sense raised the terror threat and has elevated the restrictions to get through airport security requiring passengers to throw away make-up, bottled drinks, tooth paste, anything that resembles a liquid reagent along with banning any electronic devices like cameras, cd players, IPODS!

I’m not complaining (although i will miss being able to block out the rest of the plane with some Kathleen Edwards). I’m just a little shocked. I mean come on a sports drink! Just the fact that it was so strategically planned and then nearly executed!! blows me away.

Of course Jaythan and I have the pleasure of hosting the president in our great state today. His always eloquent syntax on the events unfolding are what I can only describe as his usual bumbling misrepresentation of what’s really going on but since this isn’t a political rant I digress…

While the news is iterating that these threats have been solely concentrated in the UK, I think it’s naive to not focus on the fact that we, the United States were the end target of this attack!! and are still very much at the top of what i can only assume to be a very short hit list. On a personal note, I can’t help but be worried about the upcoming travel we have planned in our family. i just finished booking tickets for my brother and his wife to come up at christmas not to mention the rest of our family coming up in a matter of weeks for the baby. and my parents as we speak out of the country (alright not technically as they’re in alaska but whatever!)

If anything maintaining “CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!” will help us all to be aware of whats going on out there!

Well, I feel better having gotten this all out! You gotta love having a blog!
thanks for listening.

i can’t believe we’ve finally got this up and running! now that we have, i have no idea what to write about. I’ve been trying to think of some fun and interesting topic but when it comes down to it, i don’t know where to begin! So i did some research and checked out some other blogs. Blogging seems to be a mix of eclectic voyeurism where you talk about the people around you and what happened to you that day to the obscure topics that usually only apply to you and a select few others that also share your interests. I’m not saying i don’t love it, i mean there are days when all i want to do is bash the hell out of my neighbors and their incessant tinkering that only comes from being holed up in the suburbs but then again, there are so many things happening out there that are really note worthy!

So.. here we are at the beginning! Hope its going to be a fun ride!!
