setting the record un-straight

an idea resuscitated

Well a few months ago, I started with a project some of you may have already heard about. I've always had the desire to own a place/shop/store/whathaveyou, and so began the initial preparation for such. I painted/wallpapered the upstairs cavity of space at my fathers furniture store with the hope that it may someday become just that place I've always wanted. Well, plans to move away had stalled production. However, the latest coming out of the news room is that I will not be moving straight away after graduation. This is good news for my place/shop/store idea. I'm wanting to get started on it again here soon, so let's hope things work out.

the newcomers

As most of you probably know, Adell and Logan have moved into our home and plan on living here for the duration of the summer. Logan will then be attending ASU so we are all pretty happy that they will be in Arizona for good. Now, let me share with you a few interesting things about this wonderful Adell. Almost everything that comes out of her mouth is groundbrakingly genius...I don't even know how I am related to her. She should be in a museum somewhere in a glass case with lights and lasers and men with guns. She is really that incredible. Allow me to give a few examples...
1. "Yeah, those idiots think it's because of Global Warning" ...
2. "Did you buy that shirt (my shirt of the presidents), so people would look at your chest?"
3. "Do you feel stupid because you're the only one who bought pop?"
4. "Shut-up doofus"
5. "Yeah right, doofus"
6. "You're a doofus"
7. "It's anonymous, everyone wants to go!"
UPDATE:::
8. "Look, there's an AMBLEANCE up there.."
