The Tile Man Does Not Cometh

I was so excited that we finally set a date with the tile man. Tuesday at 8 am. But then something came up. So then it was Wednesday, 8 am. Then something happened at his house that delayed him, at latest, until 10 am. It's now 10:30 am - and no tile man.

I guess that's how it goes.

I start my summer class tonight - Corporate Tax. It probably isn't the best course to take in a summer session, but it's the only one I could find offered A) that I haven't already taken and B) that didn't have a test scheduled during our planned vacation. UTA is usually very good when it comes to business course offerings. But this summer was very difficult. I look through the Graduate Catalog and see all of these great courses I'd like to take. But none of them are offered.

A Simple Miscommunication

I'm trying to wrap up my week to go enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend. I processed a couple of new members files and just handed them to my manager and said 'If you'll approve these, I'll get all of the new members enrolled before I leave.' What I should have said was 'I need to you to approve these so that I can leave.' So here I sit, updating my blog.

I've been talking about this project in our backyard for quite sometime. It started with the deck removal, then the huge pile of leaves that had grown over the years had to be removed. Eric found the stone he wanted to lay in its place. That was about 3 weeks ago. The pallets of stone are still sitting in front of our house, for everyone to enjoy. We sit inside our house staring out the window at the constant rain fall and imagine how good the stone will look someday in our backyard. If it would ever dry out. And the memorial day weekend is not looking to be any more dry.

Sunday in the Stockyards

We took the kiddos to the Stockyards Sunday. It was a great day to walk around and soak in some of Cowtown. We saw Longhorns, went horseback riding, learned how to rope steers, and wrapped it up with lunch at the Love Shack. A great day!

I was out running this morning and saw a neighbor washing her car.

I guess the driveway wasn't good enough for the PT.

Finished Dining Room

I finished the dining room - it took an extra day. Nonetheless, all done. We're going to try to work on laying the flagstone in the backyard and begin building the grill/counter/bar. It's finally dried up a little from all of the rain.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!
