Do you not know what causes that?

So much to say...

Life keeps happening and I keep think - I have to blog about that!  :-)

So today at lunch with Clara, I saw an ad for Strawberry Shortcake (a fav of mine), only it's Passover.  I ONLY SEE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE DURING PASSOVER.

The water heater saga has hopefully ended.  After buying one and waiting a week for installation, the guy comes and says - won't work, no power vent.  So we ordered a 75 gallon water heater (Those 25 extra gallons are all MINE!) and waited.  Today, after it was installed, he said, some guy is going to come inspect it within three weeks. Oh great.

Just before Passover, I went on a huge hunt for Matza, never thinking it would be a problem. So, in the spirit of the Great Fruit Cake Search of Christmas 2006, it was the Great Matza Search of Pesach 2008. I went to five stores to find matza - none was to be found. I did manage to get a ton of Passover candies and stuff I never find, but not simple Matza.  Thankfully Andy saved us and offered us a couple of boxes.

Kevin, Hilary, Isaac and Lilah did the Tae Kwon Do tourney. Lilah got a participation medal in her age group. Isaac actually won 2nd place in sparring, which Hilary was really impressed with.  Hilary won 3rd place in forms. (It should be noted that she moved into the women's division this year because of her age, she missed 5 months of Tae Kwon Do and had only been back for 2 weeks when the tourney happened.) Last year she placed 4th, so this was better.  Kevin kicked butt, really.  He got 3rd place in forms, which Hilary said he really deserved at least 2nd.  But he got first place in sparring - don't mess with him!

Isaac finally got new glasses. Benjamin is really into his new garden and he's letting Lilah help. Owen and Clara have been passing fifth disease around. Ada is enjoying preparing her sun songs for the school music show.

Kevin and I started childbirth class last week. It was a lot of fun. Now if we would only practice more.  Baby is moving a lot more and has been hiccuping a lot. Sometimes the kids can even feel it!

Now, on to the new kitchen floor, roof and new dry wall!

Genius Bar

Okay so Mardi Gras was having trouble holding a charge. I booked an appointment with the Mac Genius Bar down the street.  I typied in "Battery won't hold a charge."

When I got there, they asked what was wrong. I said, "The batter won't hold a charge."  The guy was very nice and friendly.  He fiddled with the computer and battery testing each part.  Finally he looked up at me and said, "The battery won't hold a charge."  I just smiled and said, "You think?"

It was actually very nice not to have to ship my computer off for a few days and have it done in a few minutes.  The only really annoying part was that the one Genius took someone who was a walk in in front of me.  She didn't even register at the front of the store like she was supposed to do...

Is this #3 yet?

Okay so I had a heating guy come to check out the heater for the winter. You know, wya to go Robin, being on top of that preventative maintenance.  *sigh* I need a new furnace.

So I need a new fence, new flashing for the chimney, new gutters, new roof, ceilings repaired in the office and the kitchen, car window replaced...am I missing anything?

I'm feeling down about this...
