and this is your Thursday update

So last weekend, Saturday, our TV popped and the lamp button started blinking. So we took the thing apart only to realize that the casing around the lamp has melted. So we did some research and found out that the Sony Grand Wegas made oh say 4 or 5 years ago did this. There was apparently a huge recall and it ended in April. Most of the people had to get a new tv or take a refund or something. So, since this just happened to us, and we didn't get a recall notice...we are taking a gamble and replacing the lamp. Hopefully it will still work. If not, I am going tv shopping apparently. Our fate will be determined tonight...when our lamp arrives via UPS. I will never buy another sony product again. Frickers.

So last weekend, Sunday, I was helping Michael with the deck we are building in our backyard. Here is what went down...Michael was using the skill saw to cut the 2x4 and it didn't cut all the way. He had it propped on two iron tables and proceeded to karate chop it in half. Apparently I was standing too close to this maneuvering and before I knew it my left hand had been severely beaten by a 2x4. I had to catch my breath it hurt so bad! I can't believe it didn't break my wedding rings. I seriously thought I broke my hand...I couldn't move it or pick anything up...but I wanted to give it a day before I made a decision about going to the dr. (with our insurance we only go if we are on the death bed...or having a baby). Luckily Monday I woke up and could use it. It still hurt a little bit, and had a great big ole black bruise across the top of my hand. Today it is green...healing well.

So last night, Wednesday, I got out EK's chair and turned my back to fix our plates, and turned back around and low and behold...that chap was in her chair...reaching for her bib.

So today, Thursday, since our tv is out, we have been chilling in my room...and I left the room where EK was on the floor looking out the window and came back in and she was sitting on our bed, which is taller than her head.

So. Apparently we climb now. I have no worries now about giving her my old bedroom suite. I did at first because the bed is taller. She will be fine.

She also has been sitting on the potty before bathtime and she thinks it is hilarious!

Blogging without pictures...isn't as fun as blogging with pictures.

I am ordering our new bedroom furniture for our room this weekend and am PUMPED!! EK is inheriting my old suite (as mentioned before) its antique and use to be my dad's parents set!

On a totally separate note, I have walked 21 miles this week...well from last Thursday to this Thursday...and in the opposite direction, which is mainly up hills! woo me!
