St. Paddy's Day in Houston

Greetings from sunny and muddy Houston!

Jim has a gorgeous new house. 2,400 sq. ft. of newness. I have house envy. 4 bedrooms all with walkin closets, a huge living room, plus a game room upstairs. Lots of space for all of Jim's stuff.

The Hubs and I are down here, supposedly helping bro-in-law Jim with the unpacking in his new house. The problem is, Jim is already 99% unpacked. So far, Mark has helped him to hang a light in the garage, we've been to Walmart for supplies, and laid some stepping stones in the back yard. Now, I'm just sitting here. Technically, we're helping by doing nothing right now, because the Comcast guy is here fixing the cable. Yea, us! Go team!

I'm feeling a bit duped about being here, since I thought the whole point was to be helpful. But, when the cable guy is finished we're going to hit a local yarn store and a disc golf course.

Mom is home with the boys. We video chatted over xBox Live last night. Kids seem fine. Mom is either fine or shellshocked. Hard to tell.

Mark has a cold. It started Sunday before we left.

I have a toothache and an appointment for a root canal next week. So thrilled about that.

Not much else. We'll be heading home early tomorrow for 7 more hours on the road. The good news is, since I don't have anything else to do here, I've gotten my iPod and iTunes running again. It took a few uninstalls and re-installs, plus a reset of the iPod, but we'll be able to listen to Melinda Doolittle's album on the way home!

Guess I'm done. See y'all soon! Happy St. Paddy's Day!
