Devona and POWER TOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I believe they go together quite nicely.

Well, today didn't turn out anything like I was hoping but, we still accomplished much. It was my hopes to get the shelves built. I am seeing now that construction is a slow process of time and materials.

Hmm...

Yes, it's still worth it...no matter how long I think it over...it's still worth it.

I went down to my In-Laws this after-noon and I made drawers this after-noon. My Father-in-law let me use THE TABLE SAW!

Did I mention I have an awesomely freakin' cool Father-in-law? I do.

Then, after I cut the boards I got to glue and nail them together...with a NAIL GUN! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the noise it makes when it sends a nail shooting at hyper-speed into a board. It almost made my moist...Damn. (LOL)

Yet, I didn't get to work on the shelves. It was not because I didn't have the energy but, because my poor Father-in-law had already worked his ass off this morning at his Mom's. You could tell he was tired. And, where as I am learning how to do carpentry, I must stress the word LEARNING. Hence, I must be told-shown what to do. After that I am perfectly capable...it's completely awesome.

....This has nothing to do with power tools but, I thought I'd share the humor.

Last night my daughter was with her grandparents so it was me and my boys...that is my husband and my son. My son plays well when his sister is gone. He'll be back in his room playing with cars and his army men and Spongebob toys for hours.

Well, we were all on the couch watching TV. I'd stopped and gotten my son a Happy Meal and he got this plastic thing that throughs a little plastic basket ball. Okay, McDonald's is really getting cheap here. I remember when we used to get cool toys in the Happy Meals. Does anyone remember the "Halloween McNugget Toys?" They had a mummy, a vampire, frankenstein and I think another one but, I can't remember what is was. At any rate, when I got a Happy Meal at McDonald's (seems like a century ago) I got toys that were fun and you knew how to put them together. You didn't need instructions. They were just as good as any other toy.

...Off the subject again, sorry. Well, I put the little plastic basket ball in my husbands belly button. Then my husband would suck in his stomach and then catapult it off with a "Bing!"
Needles to say, my son, thought this was DA BOMB and I must admit at being pretty entertained as well. So, we do this for a good ten-15 minutes (might of been longer...but, for the sake of my dignity as well as his I've shortened the story...see it saves the dignity, right?)

After a "while" my son got board with it so I put the basket ball in his belly-button and..."BING!"
So we played that for a while longer as it was MUCH FUNNIER when my son was doing it.

...Okay, so maybe you would have to have been there...

LOL
