probably just drunkin ranting

i'm not so much drunk as i had a few beer but thought that was a good header. Well so far I've mainly used this blog for keeping track of my weight loss but i think I'll also use it more as my journal. OK so today we had the people from Lowe's come out that are supposed to build our shed. they said OK it's level front to back but side to side it's sloping over 2" we can fix this by building a wood foundation. we payed over $5,000 for cement work by olshan this slab included and we told them we were using this spot for a shed. Olshan came out and said this is sloped for draining duh. OK so we call the manufacturer of the shed and they said any more than and 1" of slop with cause screws to pop and all kinds of bad things. called Olshan back and no return call as of yet. On top of all this LawnMasters who is building our Pergola called to say the city said in order to get our permit to build it we have to attach it to our house (which i think voids the brick work on our warranty with kb homes? don't know for sure) we told them to go a head with attaching it to the house if not we had to move it 3' away from the house..not going to happen. Then the lawn company who takes care of our community turned on the water to our sprinkler system turned it on. We called 3 weeks ago to tell them a pipe burst during the last freeze and was flooding our yard well they never fixed it! Well the guy who fixed it was like "oh it burst when they built the fence but we couldn't enter the property because you owned it." The fence was built before we bought the lot! LIAR! OK but now that is fixed (we hope). Good news Lucas only needs one more shot to attend school next fall and all my seeds I planted are sprouted and growing. We just need to get the watering situation under control. Started installing a drip irrigation in the bed of vegis but we are converting the whole zone to soaker and dripping so we can run it all summer long. As far as I know Gary, Tara, and Toni read my blog if you read my blog let me know some how cuz then I wont talk crap about you :-P I am also looking for ideas for my next art project if you have something you like let me know...i'm doing stuff in the medium of wood burning, glass engraving and yarn/cloth/thread

playing catch up

OK so i haven't posted in a while...that's because i kinda quit working out. I just can't really seem to get motivated enough to do it lately. That and i got sick again. I still have a cough but i think I'm getting better now. But these are all just excuses i just need to get up and do it. We did quit drinking alcohol a little over a month ago. That's been nice no more waking up hung over just waking up really sleepy still. We now have our garden planted and going in full swing! Peas, carrots, cucumbers, onion, garlic, strawberries are all sprouting up and growing and the plum tree looks like it will have fruit this summer to. These things all make me really happy! I tried counting calories and ended up gaining more weight so I've now stopped doing that and the 5lbs that came back on went away. Other than that it's all pretty much the same I'm at around 148lbs but I'm going to get my butt on that elliptical and make it go down now!
