Time flies...

...when you're having fun? Well, there has been a good share of that in the past 7 months since I have neglected this blog. And I'm pretty sure I have learned something new on each and every day. Since that may include some 210 days, give or take, I think I'll just summerize instead;
I have learned EVERY LITTLE DETAIL ABOUT BUILDING A HOUSE.
Now, not actually, physically building a house. It all began with the purchase of a lot back in May. Since then, I have learned a lot about lot loans, construction loans, mortgage loans, house plans, wood floors, carpet, tile, paint, brick, cabinets, counter tops, faucets, vanity's, fans, porches, driveways, garages, windows, shingles, outlets, switches, doors, tubs, lights, lights, and more lights. I know there's more, but I am worn out just thinking about it all over again. Don't get me wrong. It's been kinda fun. Just very overwhelming with so many choices to make. If you are currently building, or thinking about building, chat with me anytime. There's no substituting the experience.
Gotta run now. I think I hear a sconce calling my name.

Wow...

...things can get busy. The most recent thing I have learned? I get WAY too busy this time of year to sufficiently keep up with a blog. But Blog times are comin'. And I am looking forward to it ;-)

I am a...

...cerevisaphile. You can look that one up. Having said that, My tastebuds learned alot on Wednesday night that perhaps shocked them. Smokey? Maybe while eating some barbeque. Sour? That was definitely a twist. I can't imagine being able to tolerate very much of any of these out of the ordinary flavors. Lambic? Horsehair blanket. Yet it was very interesting to learn about the how's and why's and to get just a small sampling of some truly old traditions. I can't say I will ever venture there again, but it will at least be nice to say, "Yeah, I've had that".

Coffee...

..Yum. Ever had Vietnamese coffee? Well, I learned what that is. A little metal brew cup is placed on top of the glass coffee cup. But first, some sweetened condensed milk is poured in the bottom of the glass. It is very thick. When the coffee is brewed into the glass it does not even mix with the milk. After the brewing, you stir the two together. It is very strong, and very sweet. The glass is also rather small. You can drink it hot or pour it over a tall glass of ice for a cold, refreshing version.
Maybe now, I'll have to go back to Queen of Sheba and try their Ethiopian coffee.
I'm becoming so worldly... ^ _ ^

So much...

...learning. How it's nice to have a weekend in the middle of the week. How different a front-wheel drive works sooooo much better than a rear-wheel drive. How beer got it's start, and all the different kinds of beer and how they are different from each other.
Now I must say, that I wouldn't recommend using that middle of the week weekend, to do those beer studies, and then go out and drive that rear-wheel drive car. Just sayin'.

With all the snow...

...that has fallen in the past day or so, I have learned one thing for sure; I am now at the point where I much prefer to view it from the inside looking out. Although I will admit, driving down 2nd, 3rd, or 4th can be quite pretty with the snow hanging on all the trees. As long as it's from a warm car.

Tonight's is...

...short but oh so sweet. I learned that it IS possible, even with school in session, to have a weekend with absolutely nothing work-related going on. And believe me, that's a rare occurrence. It was so nice to chill, and relax both mind and body. For trust me, I know what's coming. And it ain't pretty...
