Book Club night! Well, not book club, but get together and drink and have fun night :) Triple celebration tonight as we welcome Jaime's baby boy, Mary's baby girl and Corina's going away!! Plenty to talk about all night long, but this isn't a drunko party like they do up in Cedar Park, we've all got to get up to go to work tomorrow!

Why no, I don't think I have a problem with butter. I'm sure that Paula Deen would approve of my stocking of butter too. I've got to make butter cream icing this today and I needed to make sure I had enough butter in the fridge. The rest of it is packed with healthy snacks I promise!!

What's funny is I *just* noticed when I looked at this picture that I have the sticker that came with the fridge still stuck on the door....you know the one that tells you to buy this fridge because it has adjustable shelves and is energy efficient. I'm sure I never took it off because I would have to leave the door open to do it that takes away from the energy efficiency.....

Viper free! One of my co-workers Bill came to check out the garage and he found no sign of Clive. Just to be on the safe side I'm not parking my car in the garage tonight anyway.....

SNAKE!!!! In my garage!!!!!!!
Thankfully he appears to be a common checkered garter snake, but still. Get. Out.

Update: So it turns out that Clive (I've started calling him Clive) is really a rattle snake and poisonous. So he is going to get his eviction papers. Though many co-workers suggested taking a hoe to his head (as if I would be able to get close enough to do this!!!!) I'm going to go with Absolute Pest Control's Charles. Hopefully he will be able to find him and take care of this problem!

Garage done! Check out that ceiling. I know, it's not too exciting. And it's a far away shot because even though I used *all* two gallons, it could still use another coat!

There was only one casualty when the extension pole broke. I manage to deflect it off my head and on to the lawn mower. I figure we'll roll that paint right off that wheel before the end of the Summer!
Now all I have to do is paint the walls. *sigh*

Well I bought the paint. You can see two gallons of ceiling paint on the workbench. I was very disappointed to find out it was not the cool color changing paint that I really wanted. But I was already home so oh well. I even picked out a color for the walls too - you can see the swatch on the back wall. It's just barely a blue color "breakers". I was going to get a tester paint, but the color is so light they can't divide the color down that small to make the tester paint. So I bought a gallon to try it out.

Good intentions. They are wonderful things.

On Wednesday I thought to myself - wow my first weekend to myself in the last three. I should do something! I know, I should paint my garage and put that expoy floor down.

On Thursday I thought to myself, wow, those floors are a lot of work, maybe I'll just paint the garage and do the floor another weekend.

On Friday I thought to myself, wow, I'm going to have to move ALOT of stuff to paint the garage. I bet if I just painted the ceiling, I could call it good. I mean, that's a lot of work.

Here's my Friday "before" picture. I'm still debating the actual painting.
