    Someone who I considered a friend is really two faced, and seriously had me fooled.

    You guys stop reading my mind!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    That I am very easy to get lured into new hobbies. We acquired two super cheap vintage portable record players at a garage sale and I have started to dismantle them and give them a good cleaning to make them nice, shiny and properly working again. I'm getting totally sucked into antique phonograph expert forums right now to get to know everything about record changers and their mechanisms. I ordered some tolex this weekend and a refurbished idler wheel today. I would never have even thought that I would ever need to know these words or how to do things like that. But it gets me all excited and I cannot wait to see how they turn out.

    The house is coming along nicely. We have a new roof (the need for which delayed everything else) and we bought our flooring, the tub, the vanity and chose our tiles. Soon, the electrician and plumber will come and then we will get started with the drywall. It's still a lot to do, but we are getting there. The turntable refurbishing is just a little side project for a fun sparetime. Thanks for asking :)

    Oh, one more thing I learned while on my weekend in Big Sky...they have a '10 o'clock siren' which sounds exactly like the tsunami siren. West coast girl freaked out...and got laughed at.

    The siren goes off 'just to let you know it's 10pm'

    *Grrr*

    *Tom Petty is so amazing live in concert...there were no a-hole drunks yelling song requests, they were all very friendly, sang along, and gave me high-fives for my birthday.
    *I really should bring glow sticks to the next show at the Gorge...then when I get back from getting more beer, I can find my spot on the lawn easier.
    *Soap Lake mud is smelly, but magically amazing...it will make your skin baby soft for days...and I didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a mud bath or go to Europe.
    *All those minerals in the water will make you extra sensitive to the sun...and help give you a nice toasty red glow. *ouchie*
    *the hotels in Moses Lake are awesome, thanks for letting me leave my dogs in the room while I was at the show, and they were so good, you didn't even charge me the dog fee.
    *next time-we will plan better so we can see the lazer show on the Grand Coulee Dam.

    Another habit says it's in love with you

    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    *weddings that don't play Pearl jam songs are kinda lackluster
    *especially when the majority of the songs are country songs
    *they really liked my handmade card though-I totally guessed at the 'theme' and colors, and apparently was spot on...that was trippy
    *VooDoo Doughnuts has a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong ass line, I still didn't get to go
    *'somebody' has a cute new baby
    *my phone has a really cool 360* camera function

    Do you have Google cardboard? It turns your camera into a viewmaster to view your photos.

    cardboard? I don't think so...my phone's camera has a little box so all you have to do is match up the viewfinder to the target, and it will take a pic, then mash them all up...I literally took a pic at the stadium where I can look up, down, in a 360 view...I should see if I can upload it to my FB and play with it there.

    Tell me about this Google cardboard? (I liked that Instagram thing I saw with the time lapse-can't remember what it's called)
