"I'm Gonna Be A Super Model...."

That's right, a SUPERMODEL....okay so Chris is the super model. He is all excited that he got to pose for a professional photographer with a Sullair Compressor. He said that the guy actually stood really far away, and with a telephoto lens made the pictures crystal clear you could read the tiny print on the sleeve of Chris' shirt. I'm not going to post too much right at this moment because Chris is getting cleaned up right now, and Tuesday of next week, he goes back to the studio for another photo shoot. I am off that day so he has invited me to come to watch. He is ordering a print for himself because it is "sharp" he says. He's gonna start thinking he's a celebrity with all this traveling and now photo shoots....bring on the Oscars.

Tonight is the first night we got to rent Jumper! That's right, we have tried every night since Tuesday to get, twice is was available online and by the time we got he Red box, it was gone! So I finally broke down and reserved it online.... sorry suckers who make special trips to the red box because it says it's available online. Michigan City needs another Red box on this end of town.

So we did watch it already, very good. The hour and twenty some odd minutes flew by. Like it felt like the movie had only been playing for twenty minutes when I looked up and saw it was an hour and fifteen minutes into it. Little bit of a let down when it's over though. Sure the time flew by, but then I was like "that's it". Maybe it's because I'm a dork and I read the screenplay a few months back, so I kinda knew what I was expecting to happen...??

Anyway, when the movie was over we went outside and cleaned up the mess the handy man left in the front yard last OCTOBER! He never came to clean it up, he just left his wood, and leftover cement bags, some floor tiles and bricks just sitting there next the walkway. It looked nasty and Chris and I finally had enough. It filled up two trash cans of wood bits, bricks and other junk that he left there and stuff the people walking by tossed into the mess. We shoveled the massive pile of dirt under the stairs, so grass can start growing there again, while the rest of yard is in desperate need of trimming. We are going to put in a flower bed around the porch to make it a little more delightful for the eyes.

Tomorrow morning at 5:30 am we start painting the bathroom. Little by little the apartment is starting to look better and better. The roof and walls at the house in Kokomo is getting replaced due to water damage from wind damage to the roof. Once that is done, we have one room to paint, one hallway to paint, a small amount of wallpaper to remove in the bathroom because we already started it, and one spot of plaster on the ceiling to patch up. But as soon as the damage is correct by the insurance that baby is going on the market.... sad to see it go, but love to see the payment go! ... I can go to school full-time once that is out of our hands.

Well, I guess I'll post later this weekend. Hopefully with new pictures of Bee's Waxy colored bathroom.
