Mandi's gone to Girl's camp with Maddie and Isabel. I'm bored and lonely and sleepless, so I'll catch you (and only you) up with some things that I've seen recently that are noteworthy. I saw an old man this week sitting by the kiddy pool at Seven Peaks. At one point his soda ran out, so he took the lid off and went ahead and refilled it (leaving his ice in there) FROM THE WATER OF THE KIDDIE POOL. He then sat down and CONTINUED DRINKING. If you think that drinking the mixed liquids of hundreds of people is disgusting, then you may possibly be incorrect. I drew a picture out of boredom of Scotty and he used it as his profile pic on Facebook. Then Chet from the old KJQ saw it and contacted me and asked me to do illustrations of the entire radio staff. I told him to get bent.

While Mandoo's been gone, I thought it would be a good time to re-do our ugly, falling-apart bathroom free of critique or interference. It has one wall that was so moisture-ridden, you could poke your finger through it, if that's your thing. But not anymore. I replaced the trouble wall with new moisture/mold-resistant drywall, and repainted the whole thing, then replaced a bunch of stuff, and added a painting and some pictures. It looks like Genevieve from Trading Spaces came in there and didn't say or do anything. It's now painted in beige, mustard yellow/orange, and dark brown, and the mirror is not huge and old anymore. AND I did it all with a budget of $150, which is about $150 more than Mandi will be happy with. But what will win her over is that, because of my awesome color scheme, you can now leave both yellow and brown colors in the toilet without flushing and still be contributing to the overall room palette. I also cleaned the holy living be-nothing out of the shower.

Because of my overuse of my broken elbow, it hurts more than usual, and is not bending as much as it previously was capable. The funny part about this is how much it hurts. A lot.
