The Flood of 2010

*Pardon the pics in this post they are all from my iphone (again)..Charlene if you're reading this- I want the same camera as you! :)

So, you know how it all started. A weird bit of water seeping in from the walls? ....oh boy. I kinda threw it all out there the other day. (alot of facts in such a short post, right?) ;) 

It started out with some water here and there- in different rooms.... 

(THE BEGINNING OF THE END)

And turned into a closet with several inches of standing water which spread across our entire bedroom floor, our living room, bathroom and bedroom closet.....everything. Wet.

At around 1:30AM......

(WATER SUCKING TIME)

...we had to get in there and suck up all the standing water. It was already doing damage to a bunch of our stuff...not good.

Anyway, Like I said, much debating later and we were released. As of this morning we are moving to a little duplex in Gulf Breeze Proper- which isn't too far from where we were. It's not very big at all, but it's big enough for the two of us and having a back yard again will definitely be a plus! We got a GREAT deal because a friend of a friend literally just moved out and the man that owns it handles the renting himself so we got to sneak in and grab it before he head a chance to put up a sign!

Speaking of that friend her name is Lynne. She is a domestic Goddess who breeds domestic Goddesses. I'm pretty sure there isn't anything she can't cook, make or build. While I was with her yesterday she was knitting and I don't know what possessed me to try it. But...I wasn't any good. She had mercy on me and gave me something else to try. A potholder. Sounds easy, right? It's just a grid that you weave bands in and out of....she forgot that they get EXTREMELY tight and forgot to warn me not to pick fat bands (the make it more difficult) and so I picked the fattest. About 3 hours later (which is about 2 1/2 hours more than I intended)- I had the ugliest- but most sturdy pot holder I'd ever seen...

(Yup...all by myself. And I WILL use that thing!)

Also, I spent a little time teasing myself with homemade cappuccino. I'm not a coffee drinker- I'm pretty leery of it because I think it stains your teeth AND I'm afraid of becoming an addict. BUT every once in a while I start to think I could really get into it. If I'm really honest, I'm convinced it could be a really great, warm, soothing morning routine...

I don't know...I may just let myself get into it. (that's what whitening strips are for, huh? With Bobby being a bit of an addict himself, I guess we always have to have coffee when we travel- either way, right?

*Sidenote: I started this post yesterday and didn't get a chance to finish it. Pretty sure thats a sign to wrap things up! ;)

Happy Almost FRIDAY!!!
