Wonder Glass

a meme from Julie: Find the nearest book. Open on page 123. Find the fifth sentence. Post the next three sentences. Tag five people,and acknowledge who tagged you.

Well the nearest book is "Click, Clack, Moo" which definately doesn't have 123 pages. When I first read Julie's post I was near some RPGing books but I didn't have the time to sit down and do this. But the closest book to me right now with enough pages is "The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll", the selection is the end of a poem that wraps to the next page.

"Without, the frost, the blinding snow,
The storm-wind's moody madness --
Within, the firelight's ruddy glow,
And childhood's nest of gladness.
The magic words shall hold thee fast:
Thou shalt not heed the raving blast.

And, though the shadow of a sigh,
May tremble through the story,
For "happy summer days" gone by,
And vanish'd summer glory--
It shall not touch with breath of bale,
The pleasance of our fairy-tale."
I love Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, they are two of my favorite stories ever written and watched.

If anyone wants to play, consider yourselves tagged.

Carpet is so passe...

Well the basement has been mostly emptied, at least where there was carpet is all gone. We're now going to have our neighbor Joe put tile into all three rooms. We'll just use area rugs for the kids rooms and some other types of throw rugs for the now play area, former living room. The upstairs is now the living room area, and it's going to stay that way. The upside is the house will look and hopefully be more functional after this. Well I'm late to bed and have lots more to work on tomorrow.

Well this just sucks...

So with all the rain we've been having and the wonderful clay filled ground I live on we now have wet carpet in our basement and a bunch of boxes have been soaked in our storage area. The rooms affected are of course my children's rooms so now we have to buy all new carpet. If we dont we could have mold and other nasties possible grow and make our kids sick, so it's all gotta go bye bye. So tomorrow we're getting a dumpster and tearing out all the carpet, moving around our whole house and basically clearing out everything.

This just blows.

It's never going to end. Another Thunderstorm with big thunder and fun lightening. Good times.

Sorry I haven't written lately but I've been uber busy with the kids and haven't had the computer working either. Well I hould get off of here while the storm is rolling by. I just wanted to give a quick update that all was good.
