Hanging Pictures



I wanted to take a moment to let everybody know how cute my wife is. We where trying to put the final touches on our home this weekend when I had to step out to the garage and get some more nails. When I was out side I heard my little wife pounding away to hang a sign. I thought that was funny since I knew we did not have anymore nails left in the house. But I said to myself o'well maybe she had one hidden. I always cringe a little when I hear her trying to hang items on the wall, usually means more work for me. But back to the story, so I walk in and Monica has this puzzled look on her face and I ask her whats up. She tells me that she hammered in the nail but it went in a little to far and it won't come out. No big deal I will take a look at it and pull it out a little. I as get closer to the wall I notice a little cross on the head of the nail. Yep you guessed it she unknowing to her she used a phillips head screw to hammer in, ha ha ha. She had the cutest little look on her face, I just laughed.

I love you sweetie.

A broom and the salt bottle

So we finally moved this weekend! How is it that we still have so much crap??? The move is really what inspired this blog story. I've been with Monica for some years now and during those years, we have had MANY moves, so I still don't now how Monica's superstitious "Colombian" beliefs still amuse me! According to Monica's family, when one moves, they leave behind the old broom and the bottle of salt. The reason is because you leave the bad luck from the old home (symbolized by the broom and salt bottle) and you buy new ones representing the good luck that will come in the new home. The funny part is that I can probably write a book regarding Monica and her family's superstitions (spiders, flies, pearls, dolls, glass breaking, the list goes on and on, but those other stories will be for future blogs). For now let's focus on the broom and the salt. It was our first night in the new place, monIca and I decided to grill out in celebration for a ha...

Gain or no Gain

So quick funny story.... It might be one of those "you had to be there stories" but I will try since it caused a lot of laughter for us. Last sunday we were at Sam's club buying our monthly stuff. We knew we needed detergent so we went to the cleaning aisle and looked for the gain detergent that we have been buying for many months now. It was such a great deal, we would get 133 onz for a little over 9 dollars. That's many many many loads of laundry. So as we walked down the aisle, I realized Peter had overlooked our great "gain" bottle. I yelled down the aisle "Pete it's right here, this is the one". Peter turns and smiles, holding in the laughter. He then said, well....now I know why our detergent has been sooooooo inexpensive. He then continued by saying, look at the bottle a little closer. We had been using the same bottle for such a long time now that I felt I knew every color, every letter, felt like a could describe the handle...
