After that we headed to Target to pick up some more accessories for the house. We got a bunch of little things but what was cool is we found a picture that would work for our guest bathroom as well as a shower curtain. I have to say our guest bathroom looks pretty nice. It's actually the first room that is 100% complete. We also picked up some more candles, can never have to many candles and we planned to pick up a coffee table but the ones they had at that Target were damages so I plan to pick one up by the Target at my work.

Shopping
Today Harry and I went shopping.. we first went to Home Depot to buy a taller ladder then we already had because of leaks on the roof and our 8 foot ladder being to small to reach it. Luckily we had some gift certificates cause ladders are expensive. We picked up a few other thinks like bush trimmer and clippers.. We also looked at prices of Generators as we both think it's a good idea to have one for a "worse case scenario". They ranged from $600 to $1200, we didn't buy one tonight but plan to get one soon.

To Paint or not to Paint...
Well today we made another attempt to continue to paint the Master Bathroom. I started to tape of the corners in the bathroom. After that was done we tried to motivate ourselves to start with the painting itself. Well, we never managed to motivate ourselves. Both, Harry and I, are just really tired of painting. Guess the master bathroom will just have to wait a bit longer...

Snow
Today while I was at work it started to snow up at our place and not just a few flurries like before.. but really snow. I started to worry that I wouldn't be able to get home because of the snow so I left work early. It was just starting to get dark by the time I got home but there was still snow on the ground. Not as much as there was as it was already starting to melt. Harry did take some cool pictures and video so I did get to enjoy it through that..Thursday, January 21, 2010

The Perks of Podcasting
I love doing the Knights of the Guild podcast, it's a lot of work but well worth it from the positive vibes we get from our wonderful listeners. But I have to say it's nice getting some perks here and there. First we got some Geeky Cookies and now we got some Geeky Soap. They contacted me via twitter and asked if we would like to try out some of their soap.. of course I said yes and they sent me four bars of "Sexterity" soap. I plan on giving a bar to Jenni of course but also Felicia Day and Kim Evey. Will be talking about it on our next podcast but if you want to see some of there cool items you can check out their website. http://Geekysoap.com

So it begins.... Stormwatch 2010
Wow.. what day. Work was fine.. I'm talking about the weather. Today the first of four storms his and man did it hit. Because of my Jeep top not closing and having my back window opened Harry was kind enough to loan me he Dodge truck. On the way to work this morning while on the 14 the rain was coming down so hard and the wind was blowing 40 to 50 mph topped off with thick fog I couldn't see a foot in front of me. I took my time and managed to get to work without incident. While I work I kept getting updates from Harry from home. The rain was crazy but what was worse for us was the winds. They did manage to rip off two of our roof shingles but it doesn't look like it caused to much damage. The storm arrived a few hours earlier then expected so when I was going home in the evening there was nothing but wind.
Weather all over SoCal was bad, there were tornado's in the beach cities, power outages all over the place, mud slides in the burn areas and flooding. This was one of the worse days of weather that I can remember in a long time.. and this is the first of four and was suppose to be the weakest.. this is going to be a long week.

Shopping
Today Harry and I were finally able to get some shopping done. I've been wanting to go out the past few weekends but we've been just so busy. But today we hit Home Depot, ATT store and Ross. At Home Depot we picked up some shears for bushes and a rack. Now that the inside of the house is mostly done we have started to work on the outside and we are missing important pieces of equipment. So we picked up a few things.
Next we went to the ATT store so Harry could get his new phone. His plan was up and since I had gotten my new phone he has wanted to get his new phone. Of course he had to one up me and get a blackberry bold, which requires a $30 extra a month data plan, which I wasn't happy about but it made Harry happy so it made me happy.
After that we were going to do Ross then Target and look for house accessories. Well at Ross we actually found a nice painting for our guest bathroom, some odds and ends but the bit purchase was a bench for our master bedroom. We couldn't pass it up as it was the exactly color of our bed frame. Since we got that we could leave it in the back of the truck so we skipped Target and headed home. On our way home it started to rain but luckily the bench survived and didn't seem to have any water damage.
Little by little we are making this house a home.
