So, the past week I have been cleaning a lot and trying to purge stuff. I have found it therapeutic to take pictures some of the items I’m getting rid of before actually giving them away. I was cleaning one day and I came across these glasses which were probably from the 90’s. Sometimes I can’t let go until I see how ridiculous I look and have the “What was I ever thinking?” moment. I think I look like Winston Churchill or something. Normally, I would keep this atrocity and how terrible I look under wraps. I mean, I hadn’t showered yet that day, and I’d been cleaning in addition to the fact I looked like a cartoon Churchill. But then Beans had to jump in and be all cute, so I figured I might as well share that with you all. Just look how cute he is!

I’m currently enjoying the fruits of all last week’s cleaning in the public areas of the house which are relatively clutter-free at the moment– all of the clutter is currently confined to the bedrooms. But those bedrooms will be doozies when I start them tomorrow-ish.

I’ll update more tomorrow, but for now I will give you 3 videos.  Last night while we were sleeping, it stormed more and when we came downstairs today we discovered there had been about 3 inches of water at some point overnight because the carpet was squishy, water was dripping out of computers and stuff had floated and been carried over to other parts of the basement.  It’s been a rough day and with the help of our neighbor Ryan and James and the guys at Five Star here in Indy, we have stuff moved out of the basement and fans and dehumidifiers doing the evaporation work.

And because I don’t want to leave you on a depressing note and for a little perspective (because there are people worse off than we are). Here’s some super cute kitties. note how the one at then end starts growling when they try and move his food while he’s eating. I don’t know how to embed this one, so just click this link: Attack of the Hungry Kittens

Later taters.  I’ll keep you updated.

I bought a new bike today! I am so excited! I am now the proud owner of a black Electra Amsterdam Classic 3 bike.

I so excited to ride it up to the first farmers market this year in my neighborhood tomorrow morning!  They had these awesome blackberries last year.  They were so good, and I don’t normally like blackberries.  So, I find myself anxiously counting down to blackberry season this year!

I’ve been playing more pinball.  The other day when we were playing the ball got stuck and we had to tilt the machine to get it to come back down.  You can choose your theme music while you’re playing.  Your choices are: C&C Music Factory “Gonna Make You Sweat”, “Lethal Weapon 3″ Theme, or ZZ Top “Sharp Dressed Man”.  I tend to do better without the C&C Music Factory.  I am learning just how much pinball is a very auditory game and picking up aural clues.  

Although with ZZ Top in the mind, this link seemed even funnier.  I would link straight to the picture, but if I did that, it would actually show a pretty obscene picture because the site doesn’t like people linking their content and stealing their bandwidth and pageviews.

I finally saw Juno.  It was really cute.  And the best part was the 90-minute run time.  Perfect movie length!  Easily able to be stretched to two hours with commercials.  It will make a Saturday or Sunday afternoon classic I’m sure.  I am now off to watch a couple episodes of Mad Men bought from the iTunes Store.

I know there were no posts last week, but I was so stinkin’ busy with school! I am sitting in class right now, and we just finished our presentation. It went alright- probably could have done better, but it’s over now, and for that I am happy. I did post a cheesy video of the kitties over on Blip.tv last week, but I’ll include it at the end of this post since you probably didn’t see it. I promise there will be a proper post tonight or tomorrow. I have seriously been swamped and I am just overjoyed that my semester is now done! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEE!
