101 Things to Do...

I started a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. A friend linked me to a website showing this off and I thought it would be a fun thing to do, so I started my own list... I barely got past 50 things before my mind went completely dry of ideas, but I will add to it whenever something new pops into my head.

Check it out for yourself and try to make up your own list. I will link you :)

Weirdest Food Item You've Seen?

What is the weirdest food item you've come across? One that's packaged and sold in North America, I should say!

Here's my contribution: Weasel Puke Coffee. Yes. Weasel Puke. What happens is these little guys run around eating the coffee beans and they eventually throw up the coffee beans, slightly digested. Digested to the point of the acidic qualities of the beans being lowered drastically. This creates a smoother coffee taste!

I'm not going to lie, I would probably try this if I were given the opportunity.

How Geeky Are You?

I am one of few people in my group of friends that actually laughed out loud at this comic: http://xkcd.com/612/

It's about Windows :P

Anywho. I'm enjoying this long, long weekend that I have. I've been working at getting the wallpaper off from the walls of the living room. So far, we've managed to get all but a few feet of wallpaper off. A little background: the previous owners of the house put up wallpaper rather poorly -- the edges were coming off, there was no cutting in the corners, just overlapping. The wallpaper is vinyl, and on top of that vinyl they painted. This made a very impermeable top portion. We used a perforating tool, then we slathered the wallpaper in whatever the heck was available. We started off with the hard core wallpaper remover that you dilute into a gallon or so of water. Then we moved onto the gell type. In the end, nothing worked!

We ended up peeling off/cutting off the top portion of the wallpaper so that the vinyl top portion was removed, leaving behind the literal paper backing with glue. After that, we were able to remove the paper with just water and fabric softener.

All that's left is that tiny but behind our TV, washing the walls, filling in the vast amount of holes, sanding, priming, and painting. *phew*

Eye Doctor Visit and a Little Joke For You

My 3-year-old had her very first ye doctor appointment today. She was very good for the doctor. I was quite surprised and very pleased! Her eyesight seems to be very good. Score!

I'm going to take down the rest of the wallpaper in the living room today then slap up some paint samples on the already prepared wall. Meanwhile, you all can check this website out: http://awkwardworkouts.com/ I found it hilarious, though it might only be funny to us gym regulars.
