i have a celebrity in my house

i got spike a haircut so i wouldn't have to worry about him while i'm gone. he looks like a different dog, when i took him home it took butch a second to figure out who he was. he looks cute and she did a good job. i didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me. i think he looks like hugh jackman while he was in x-men. maybe now people will stop asking me how old she is.

WHEW!

if you read a recent post in bek's blog http://www.bekahbyrd.blogspot.com/ you'll notice that she redid bri's room for her birthday. although the pictures missed it one of the things that is different about her room is now it has a ceiling fan that was installed by yours truly. after installing that one i felt so good about my fan installing skills that i volunteered to put one in Elijah's room as well. unfortunately the one bek had for his room did not have a light kit on it, but fortunately i had just upgraded the fan in my living room and was willing to donate my old one to the cause and installed that one, so the other one went back into the garage. now, if you'll look further down in the same post on bek's blog you'll notice that she had sustained a head injury, when i asked her what happened i was told "a ceiling fan fell on me" ....OH NO, i almost killed my best friend, what if it had fallen on one of her kids? I'd never be able to live with myself, what have i done?!.... "which one?" i asked, very sheepishly with eyes the size of dinner plates. "the one in the garage" was her reply. RELIEF!! i almost had a heart attack, i already felt bad that i wasn't around to help when it happened. so just so everyone knows, i might not be available to install any fans for a little while. I'm glad Rebekah's okay.

i can

bek made a list of things she can do after being inspired by other bloggers, and i thought i'd try it and put my own twist on it

i can rebuild the suspension on an 80' suburban, but i can't get the damn thing roadworthy again
i can install a ceiling fan, but i can't run new wires for it

i can run 2 miles on 3 broken bones, but only if i'm doing it for someone else

i can tear up during a girly movie, but i can't let you see me

i can build a 2000lb low drag peniterator smart bomb, but i can't load it on a jet

i can repel 100 feet, but i'm afraid of heights

i can give my life defending freedom, but i don't want you to have to give yours

i can be independent, but i don't want to be

i have mad driving skills, but i can't drive a standard transmission

i can train my dogs, but i can't get spike to stop marking EVERYTHING

i can skip desert, but not today

i can play music, but only if it's on the radio

i can sleep anywhere, as long as it's in my bed

i can see the potential in customising a car, but not decorating a room

i can dance, but not really

i can forgive, but i can't forget

i can work on my car, but i can't stand it if i have to let someone else

pretty sure i'm going

i heard from the guy who's dad is sick today. they admitted him into the hospital today, so i'm going to go in his place. hopefully i'll be a little thinner and a little tanner when i get back. my little sister is due on the 28th of may, i should be back by then. other than that i guess i wont be missing much anyway. alot of my friends are there already, they told me that the facilities are nicer than last time, so i should have a good time.

maybe

well, it looks like i might be going again. one of our guys has a sick dad. there not sure what's wrong with him, there going to do more tests on tuesday and then he'll know for sure. in the mean time there going to outprocess me as if i was going. so i gess we'll see next week. but if i do end up going my sacrifice will be that much more worth while if i help him out.
