So, Todd, Roxie and I decided to start a blog. Actually, just I decided to start a blog. I would've started one sooner, except I always had the opinion that blogs were for women with lots of children. I am a woman, but I don't have lots of children, so I thought I would not be pressured into it, but here I am. And, all the cool people I know have blogs, and some of them don't have children either, so I'm not alone.

So, my life recently consists of making lots of trips to The Home Depot and other home improvement stores and warehouses, and helping Todd with our house. It is a huge project we took on, and it may be forever before we finish it how we want it, but we like this kind of thing. It has come a long way, and there's a sense of accomplishment in knowing you did it yourself. Actually, Todd did it himself, with some assistance from his dad and I. Mainly his dad. I have been here every step of the way, but I don't think that stepping on a freshly laid tile, falling off the step ladder, and random non-helpful things like that are assisting. They always make me feel helpful though.

We've recently upgraded our family from just TNT, to TNT + Roxie, our puppy. She half lab, half border collie. Todd wonders if she's mental. She's not though, she's just 100% puppy. Her favorite form of play consists of biting humans. I'm not a big fan of that. She also likes running around like a chicken with it's head cut off (which really happens, I know from experience). She runs in circles, running into random objects, running up and down the hall, and then running through the living room, jumping onto the coffee table, and sliding across, like it's a doggie slide. I'm not a big fan of that either. It's not like I allow it, it just happens. I have trained her some things, and she is smarter than she appears. She is super cute even though she's super hyper.

Well, I'm going to get something else done besides blogging about a life I had to pause to blog about.
