Awwwww.....How Romantic

(aka - The Post That Further Affirms Our Stereotypical Lesbian Relationship)

I got The Boss a Shop Vac for her birthday. Excitement ensued. Seriously. This awesome piece of equipment enabled us to turn the nasty garage at our new place into "The Boss's Magical Garage of Happiness." Not only does it suck up anything and everything in it's path, but it also comes with a hand-held portable vac AND a detachable blower with a 265 mph blowing capacity. 265 mph people! That's like, twice the speed of NASCAR. Essentially, we were able to pressure wash our garage with air. Fan-tastic.

We spent most of the weekend at the new place trying to get it ready to move into (cleaning, measuring, trying to figure out which switches control which lights and outlets).

We're really excited about:
- having a lot more room for all of our crap
- a garage that the new truck will actually fit into
- a yard for The Dog
- a yard for us
- a sun porch for The Bird
- 2 fireplaces
- a bathroom on the main floor
- not living on top of our neighbors

We're not so excited about:
- packing and unpacking all of our crap
- the possibility that there's still a water leak in the basement
- one of the upstairs toilets doesn't work properly
- cleaning the utility room in the basement (scary!)
- the World's Smallest Deck

Yes, but how much easier will it be to clean that utility room now that you're powered by NASCAR x 2? SCORE!!! Just blow that shit right out!! ...into...other...portions...of the....house. Right well, cheerio!

And you've raised quite an interesting philosophical question here Invert girl...is having the world's smallest deck better or worse than having no deck at all?

Blowing out the utility room would most likely result in one of us catching a weird, airborn disease. We're gonna go with the vacuum feature for that room. I'm fairly certain though that in a closed room, under the right conditions, we could create our very own tornado.

I'll have to let you know on the deck thing once we've lived there a while. Just to give you some perspective, The Boss actually considered using our 5'x8' utility trailer as a dead instead.

Ummm...ODD?

Yes, ODD. Does it perhaps make more sense after having read my blog? I am Odd. Very nice to meet you :D
