Still no air.........

.....and now no weekend trip! We are disappointed. The a/c man showed up at 2pm and only worked until 4:45, so he has to return tomorrow. It is his wife's bday, so he said he couldn't be late. He had an inspection this morning that didn't go well, he said. I DID ask him if we had moved up to "emergency" status now!! Me and my big mouth!! He said we were always at the top of the list, but what he thought were small morning jobs, ended up taking way longer than he planned....every day this week, I guess. He left me with a box fan. Here is a pic of the men using a jackhammer to bust up the concrete. You can see the size of our old a/c in the grass. The next pic is the new a/c which happens to be the same capacity, just humongous. He said that is how they're making the more energy efficient ones these days...something to do with the coils. It was a little over my head, or maybe my brain considered it useless information...either way, I didn't retain any of it.
The neighbors commented that it was really big, and Tobin told them that we like to keep our house like a meat locker. That was all the explaining he gave them.


Tobin came home and took a nap. We were supposed to be gone from town by now. He still had the "kayak bug," so he loaded up and went to Springfield Lake. I finished up my scrapbook page that has my pointer finger and thumb just about numb from stitching. I like how it came out though.

Well, I am off to begin on my next page. I didn't teach summer school so I could get a lot of scrapbooking accomplished, so I had better maximize on my time. Gotta go pick up more pics from Sam's in order to do the next page.
Plus, now it's TACO NIGHT!!! YEA!!!!!!!!! Love it.

  1. Looks great! I like how the bottom swirl looks like a little turtle head or maybe a smiley face...

  4. Thanks Kodi! I tried to blend the swirls on the pic with the stitching on the page.

    Tobin and I fix tacos here about every two weeks or so. We LOVE them! I have to add corn as a side dish, since that is what tacos have always gone with in the school setting. Teachers are probably the only people that seems somewhat normal to.

  5. hey, we put corn in our taco meat! the mexican corn is really good. it's better in soft shell tacos. my mom has always done that! for a while, we were having tacos once a week, we've been doing better about mixing it up here lately.

  6. Hey, I hear ya! We have about 6 main recipes and they are just on rotation. I mix it up once in awhile, but he claims that makes him a guinea pig. He did put the corn in the meat once. Good stuff!

  7. What a great layout! I've stitched like that on a couple of mine and it is hard work! You have a beautiful page to show for it! :)

    Hope you get a/c soon!

  8. Lara,
    Thank you very much! How did you find me? You live in Utah? I really enjoyed looking at your LOs! The CD inspiration is a neat idea!
