Tile, tile and more tile

The weekend of tile, all tile, all the time. We BUSTED ass on it Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. The good news is it is basically done! All we have to do yet is wet the grout twice a day for 3 days and then clean it and seal it. The final result looks pretty sweet, a big change. There are a few imperfections here and there but nothing bad. Grouting was a chore, my knees were screaming by the time I was done. So what is the bad news you ask? We have 3 more rooms to do! However we will be taking a break before we begin the other rooms. The kitchen is probably only a little smaller than the other 3 rooms combined so it wont be as bad. Plus we know more about the process now, so it should go better.

We got done wiping down the floor about 2pm Sunday afternoon. Great, now we can take a break! Nope, the grass needs to be mowed. 🙁 Ali and Nicki almost stepped on a snake cause they couldn’t see it in the high grass so Ali really wanted to chop it down. We set the mower deck nice and low and spent another 2 hours performing lawn care. We have several small pond areas around the yard from the large amounts of rain we got this past week. We got somewhere in the range of 5-6 inches of rain. The skies looked very gray and threatening but we managed to get it all done with only a few drops falling on our heads.

Begin videogame geek talk. As busy as we were, I still found some time to play some Frozen Throne. I had one extremely frustrating match. I was night elves and was playing an undead player. I had an big early advantage, I killed his hero, killed most of his army and had a big lead in resource collection. I let up the pressure and tried to simply accumulate resources and troops since I should easily outgain him. I got cocky and fought some sloppy battles where I lost more troops than I should have and eventually wound up losing a game I should have EASILY won. I don’t mind losing when I am clearly beaten, but to lose a game I should have easily won drives me NUTS. I did manage to win a few games this weekend which is better than I had been doing so I guess it wasn’t all bad.

The “I LOVE THE 80’s” & “I LOVE THE 70’s” is some of the best stuff on TV if you are 30 something like me and like to look back at the past. The show is funny as hell because of the people they have commenting on different aspects of the decade. It is really good stuff. You should check out VH1 and watch one show. You will be hooked. They talk about all aspects of each year, the shows, the toys, the style, the movies, very entertaining.
