Home again home again jiggity jog

Anyone know the rest of that little nursery rhyme?? If you do, 10 points for you, I just taught it to my husband about a week ago and he recites it every time we pull in the driveway.

Drew was on unpaid vacay this past week (Thank you Caterpillar!)So we went home to help my parents with a little demo work as they are beginning a remodel today. I learned how to pull nails out of a wall using a hammer. I always knew it was possible and that the back of the hammer was like that for a reason....However, I didn't know to use leverage against the wall so I was just trying to wiggle the nail out of said wall with said hammer. After almost whacking myself in the face a few times, I figured it out.

My mom almost cried when I told her that. She said it makes her sad when she finds out I don't know how to do pretty basic things like that. I won't tell her it's because she always did everything for us so now all 3 of her children are invalids.

Also while home, I purchased this little pretty from my cousin who is making them like it's her job!!

She has all different color beads and I haven't taken mine off since I got it last week. You can read her blog here and also, I would imagine you can order yourself a snazzy bracelet while there too!

 

 

Also, we had my dad's family reunion over the weekend. Amazingly, (not really) I have no pictures to showcase it, I must have been too busy actually interacting and enjoying myself. I'm such a disgrace to my generation!!!! As my friend Libby said when we had dinner last week "You didn't really have a good time unless you have pictures of it." *insert sarcastic tone*

 

Annndd I want to point out a fun fact: Libby and I were not friends in high school. In fact we were the opposite, but can I just say that I don't know what was wrong with me??? She is so much fun and I love her sense of humor. There's a lesson kiddies: You probably would have had more in common with people outside of your "clique" in high school had you taken the time to get to know it.

 

 

Back to the reunion.... We don't get to see my dad's extended family much so it is nice to catch up with everyone. My granny is always happy to have everyone there together so that makes it all worth it. (Even when she gets all out of sorts and is sent off on a wine-tasting to calm down in the middle of it all).

 

 

As per usual I'm back home and procrastinating on homework and purchasing episodes of Sons of Anarchy on Amazon instant to reward myself for not doing my work...wait, do I have that backwards?
