First Night of Basketball

2008-12-03T18:59:00.001-08:00

Many of you may not be privy to the fact that Jedd nearly died at the first Denman team basketball game last year.

In preparation for his date with death, he's been conditioning on the treadmill for the past two weeks (once a week for 20 minutes...). In addition, he did some major stretching tonight.

I just talked to him on his way for beers at Three Bag. He obviously survived the game.

The new door is finally painted and installed!

One more thing has been knocked off the list. I just insulated it with foam today and caulked the outside. Should be good to go for another 30 years or so. Hey, where's my ace assistant? She's inconspicuously missing from the photos, but I couldn't have done it without her.

Wine Tour Day Two

2008-10-12T14:21:00.000-07:00

As has become tradition, we made it to only half of the wineries we planned on today. And since that was two, we only made it to the one... Prairie Moon in Ames. The wine wasn't awesome, but the winery was great. We brought some lunch to eat out on the patio, and since the owner messed up on my credit card, he felt bad enough to put us on the gator and give us a tour of the 20-acre vineyard. We even got to eat four different types of grapes - vidal, concord, cabernet and one other - right off the vine. Good times!

Girls at Hamburg

2008-10-05T08:18:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun in Iowa City this weekend. Kathy Griffin was okay (she spent a lot of time talking about politics, though, so I didn't love that). Then we went back to the ped mall and to three different bars we used to hang out in during school. This morning, we topped it off with a breakfast at the Hamburg Inn across from Corcoran Communications.

Gracie is possibly the new addition to the Burmeister family. We'll decide for sure after seeing the vet tomorrow and making sure all is well, but she is a black puggie looking for a good home that she can get attention in. See pictures of her and Vinny....Gracie is definitely trying to show who's boss!

can it get any hotter. My God, what a year! Steve and I did nothing physical today, just sat out at our garage sale for 9 hours and both feel like we've run a marathon. I attribute it to the heat.
Best part of the day was meeting lots of really nice people from the 'hood and some were even interesting. I got to show the backyard to a couple of gals who were really gardens and appreciated the work that goes into a yard like ours. It was refreshing to actually "talk" flowers complete with names instead of the usual compliments about the yard being "pretty". Of course, I love any compliments but I think you girls know what I mean. It's so fun to actually walk around the yard and discuss specific flowers, etc.

Anyway, we sold about 20% of our inventory so tomorrow better be a heck of a lot busier or we're going to burn more gas taking the stuff (multiple trips) to Goodwill than it's probably worth. I'm going to call St. Vincent de Paul's tomorrow and see if I can get on a "pick up schedule". I wouldn't be surprised if they've discontinue that with the gas prices.

Loved you guys' pictures on this site! Cute ones of Vinny in the car. And yours on the Mother Load, Kelly! The boys were so cute at the farm and Merle Hay. I laughed at the staged "Wizard of Oz" shoes, the boys in their ties and the trained seals!!! hahaha! Jack looks soooo hot in that one with his chain saw.

Lyns I made little Katie (Karen's granddaughter) very happy by giving her a box of little bears you had collected .. remember them? She was really tickled with them and was playing "house" on the sidewalk. Best $2 I spent today (that's the price I had on the whole box and they didn't sell). Guess toy bears aren't worth what they used to be - ha! Just know that they went to a good home! ;)

Too freakin' hot!

2008-07-30T16:29:00.001-07:00

I realize that I'm preaching to the choir on this one, but my God, how hot can it get?!?

I keep trying to keep in mind that we don't have humidity to contend with here, but for 18 days straight, the temps in Colorado have been above 90 degrees! I went to try on pants tonight at Express and was out of the heat for 10 minutes and I still left sweat marks on them. (Kind-of makes you feel guilty if you don't get the pants you tried on then...which, by the way, I did purchase.)

Just thought I'd share!

Last Night's Storm

2008-07-20T10:00:00.000-07:00

So, we had ANOTHER night without electricity. This crap is getting old. The night we got home from vacation, tho, was worse because the house was 90 + degrees and we couldn't even run a fan. I think I mentioned to Lyns when we were chatting last night that the sky was looking rather dark. Well, ... about 5 minutes later all hell broke loose. It flipped the patio table off the cement back by the pool. Yes, the umbrella was on but down. It bent that at a 45 degree angle. All the chairs were strewn and amazing of all it blew one of the skimmer covers off. Now, tell me how that happened? Weber's swing set was tipped over so I'm thinking it had to be a F1 tornado. ;) Lots of limbs and branches on the ground, too. Oh, and Big Al across the street lost a really big limb from one of his trees out front. They were on vacation and I think I heard him around midnight when they got home .... I'm not sure when the power came on, sometime between one and three a.m., we think. THANK GOD!

I think I'll get ...

Steve was telling me a little cute Jackism that I missed last weekend. The two of them were sitting on the edge of the pool dangling their feet and Jack said just so matter-of-factly ....
"I think I'll get a pool". I don't know .. it just really struck me funny. Just like that poster of the two little farm boys kicking dirt with their shirtless bib overalls and the conversation , "so, been farmin' long?" He's quite the kid. I wonder where he plans to put the pool??? Looks like the Moore's will be looking for more land!

Target (pronounced 'Tar jay' of course)

2008-07-14T20:48:00.000-07:00

I think Target is finally realizing that Americans have other options (named WalMart) when it comes to shopping for household cleaning products and the like.

First piece of evidence of their epiphany: I about died a couple of days ago when I received a coupon book from Target in the mail. While there were the typical horrible coupons (read: buy 7 tubes of toothpaste and save 57 cents), there were also some very valuable ones tucked into that nice little package. I cut them out, but as usual, I forgot them at home in the coupon drawer. (Everything has to have a place in the Burmeister household. Unfortunately, that place doesn't always make sense!)

So when I walked into Target and discovered a million bargains (the second piece of evidence), I felt it was my duty to pass along the great finding to others that may cut out those coupons and never, ever remember them! Let me tell you folks...I'm talking about 4 handsoaps for $2.00, 76 trashbags for $4.00, body wash that is normally $2.50 for 12 ounces was $1.50 for 18 ounces. I could go on, but check it out for yourself at your local Target! I now fully understand why Mom would always over buy with the rebate book at Walgreens. Watch out, world! I'm a bargain shopper!

Friggin' horrible HOA

2008-07-14T20:38:00.000-07:00

Guess why I haven't been blogging at all lately?

Give up?

Because I've been too busy pulling four foot tall thistles and weeds out of neighborhood yards. The wonderful realtor that purchased six houses on our block for his own selfish, greedy investment is now foreclosing on them. This is after he rented them to absolute scumbag people that didn't give two shits what their yards looked like. So, last night when Jeremy and I went for a walk, a little piece of me freaked out!

I couldn't concentrate at work all day and kept thinking about the havoc I was going to wreak on those yards/weeds tonight. I pulled the car in the garage, not even bothering to unload all of my work stuff, my giant Target purchase (more about that later), or the bedspread that I had dry cleaned last week that has sat in my backseat since. I wheeled my giant trash can down the driveway, put on my gloves, sprayed on massive amounts of bug spray, and made my way four houses down the block as neighbors watched. A few of them tried to stop and talk. But folks, I had work to get done!

After an hour and a half and some help from Brett, our wonderful neighbor, the lawns look pretty decent! Granted, the grass is still a foot long and brown, but gone are the rotten weeds. For two weeks, that is! I'll be sure to keep you all posted, as I'm sure this is extremely intriuging! (I just read it to Jeremy and he had no response:()

A little upset right now....

2008-06-25T15:48:00.000-07:00

I have to express some frustration right now. I just composed a blog (my very first ever) and was really enjoying myself. I completed it, went to preview, and wanted to change a few things. However, I couldn't figure out how to change, so I just hit the 'back button'. You can probably guess what happened! Everything that I had just written disappeared! FUN!

I was sharing with you all that I have become the ultimate time waster with this laptop. It's probably a good thing that our wireless isn't working at home because I would probably be on the computer from the moment that I get home at night. I came to Bear Rock Cafe today to get work done and I have successfully wasted about two hours of time....depressing! E-mail is the killer of it all!

But hey, I worked over 12 hours yesterday, so I deserve a little time off, don't you agree?!?

Thanks for setting up this blog, Kel! I really like it!

One for the Record Books

2008-06-24T13:18:00.000-07:00

Jedd and I were eating at The Tavern, a pizza place across from Lowe's on 50th yesterday. There we were, minding our own business (as Jack would say) and SNAP!

A crazy scary noise sounding like a snapped twig arose from Jedd's mouth. He was eating a grinder sandwich, so I figured he'd inadvertently bit down on a concealed toothpick and broke it in two. That's exactly what it sounded like. But that's not exactly what happened.

No, he'd bit down the wrong way on the fork he was using to eat the last tenth of his sandwich, and he broke his tooth!

A nice little inverted V-shaped chip now marks his front left tooth. Eeek! He gets it fixed Thursday a.m., which is okay because he says it doesn't hurt. But from the sound it made, I won't be surprised if the diagnosis is more than just a chip.

Stay tuned...

Quote of the Weekend

2008-06-23T06:45:00.000-07:00

I was going to post this at Juice, but then I thought you guys would have a much better chance of "getting it."

So Jack, Quincy and I were on the way to daycare when Jack spotted a set of winding stairs out his window. He was fascinated, begged me to go on them and then said he was going to have winding stairs in his house when he was a daddy (suddenly, I pictured Jack as a middle-aged cable repairman living in the country with his cats, his cold bedroom and his satellite dish).

Anyway, we moved from that to a larger discussion about building houses. He said he was going to build two big houses when he grows up -- one for me and one for his dad. I asked if they could be together so we could still share a bedroom. He said yes, and that he'd build us bunkbeds so that Daddy could sleep with Quincy on the bottom, and he and I could have the top.

Jack then informed me that Grandpa was building a house in Colorado, and that he was building bunkbeds in it for Jack and Quincy. I said, "Yea, that will be cool. We'll have to visit a lot."

He said, "Well, we're going out there on July 4th."

I said, "That's right, Budddy. You're such a good listener."

"Yea, and I'm going to go upstairs and sleep when we get there. That's my favorite part of going to Colorado. I like to go upstairs and snore."

Chip off the old block.

Indy Corn 250

2008-06-22T18:37:00.000-07:00

Jedd and I watched Dan Wheldon win the Indy 250 today, and it was really cool. We sprung for the scanner and headphones, so we got to hear the drivers talking to their pit chiefs. Dad, you would have loved it!

A week ago, Jedd asked Jack which car he wanted to win, and he said "the grocery one." Sometimes we get groceries at Target, so that's what he meant. Well, he was right... we decided we're gonna take him to Vegas.

I just got home, and driving up our street, I caught myself with a big smile on my face. All the remnants of the flooded basement were gone from the curb! Blackhawk County, bless their hearts, came free of charge and took away all our flood-damaged goods. We just had to separate it on the curb. It looks so nice to see the wet carpet, drywall, and various other sundries GONE!!!

I'm tired - Steve and I pulled out all the wet carpet and pad. Well, STEVE pulled out the carpet as I wet-vac'd to try to make it lighter. Now, the cement is trying to dry. Tomorrow night the wet drywall goes. Yippee, I can hardly wait. I love working 8 hrs. and then coming home and working 3 or 4 more - I'm too old for this crap. And, on top of that, the field behind us smells like wet chickens. I can't imagine the stench that must have permeated every molecule of air in New Orleans.

Poor little Quince fell out of the wagon today at Connie's. Well, I guess "fell" is the wrong word. According to Connie, he "jumped." And the way he's been lately, I believe it...
