Happy Halloween

Well, we had a wonderful Halloween in the Keller house this evening. Ella was dressed as a fairy princess. Her outfit required a bit of coaxing and we where unable to wear the princess wings and tiara, and we took a bit to figure out exactly how this trick or treating thing went. But we did manage to go trick or treating at a few of our neighbors homes, 3 to be exact, and of course to Ella's Grandparents house.
I think Ella was more entertained by watching the trick or treaters coming to our house, but I have a funny feeling next year is going to be a different story! Here are some pictures from this evening.

Happy Halloween!!

From My Mullet to Yours!!

Big Bed Beaner!!

Operation Urination Complete!!

* The Room is complete and it looks great! Thanks to all whom helped!! You all did a great job!!

Boo-Hoo

As anyone who knows me has guessed I was pretty disappointed about the early exit of the New York Yankees in the playoffs, but my disappointment recently turned to disgust when A-Rod opted out of his contract with the New York Yankees.
I of course hate the Red Sox, but what kind of A-hole do you have to be to announce your opting out of the biggest baseball contract ever signed on the night when the Boston Red Sox could possibly win the World Series. Making the night about you is about the poorest example of sportsmanship I have seen in recent years.
Well A-Rod, just when I thought you couldn't out tool yourself, you have once again proven me wrong! Thank you for leaving, I no longer have to spend time defending you.....and all along I thought the A was for A-Rod.....apparently it was for A-Hole! Good Riddance !

The Mule

As I sit here at 1 am kicking back listening to some tunes, the music reminds me of old times and old friend's. The older I become the more I realize how rare it is that you meet friend's that you can truly relate too, and become close with . Most of the time I barely have time to talk to Megan, much less mingle and try to make new friends, so I consider myself lucky too long ago have found such a friend, and although for the better part of the last decade we have been separated by a few states, we remain in close contact and visit as often as we can.

So as I sit here drinking a Blue Moon and listening to some old school Pearl Jam, I raise my bottle to you Mr. Mulee, I am reminded of the endless fun we have already had, and to the many more good times I hope we encounter!

Operation Urination Update!!

Things are coming along....slowly, but hell I work 70 hours a week, so to me there are moving along at the speed of light! Here is what Brenna's room is looking like, just got a fresh coat of primer, just have to paint, and then redo the trim, and she will be ready to go!

And Everyone wonders why I love watching T.V!!

Headmasher!!

Ella developed a game that we affectionately call "headmasher". The game is really simple, it usually starts out while giving Ella a hug or showing her some type of affection, and the next thing you know she starts rashing her head up against your Noggin while screaming the words "HEADMASHER" . Ella, Sarah, and I where trying to get our pictures taking and the next thing you knew.....we had a headmasher fest!

Cheese!!

Al Gore Salesman of the CENTURY!

I have many things that I would like to say about Al Gore and his mission to let everyone know about global climate change. What I think is so great about Al Gore is he is the kind of person that bullshit's you to your face, and people still like him anyway. Al is so slick that in the face of making millions of dollars holding presentations on global climate change, he donates his Nobel Prize winnings,and people think of him as a better man for it!!!

As someone who has worked in retail most of my life, I would like to nominate Al Gore as Salesman of the Century, for his work on Global Climate Change! I don't know quite how he's done it, but in a time when the local weatherman cannot tell me whether or not it is going to rain the following day, Al has definitively convinced millions of people that he is sure humans have had such a specific impact on so many environmental factors! I raise my empty glass to you Al, you sure are a dandy!

Circuit City!

One of the best things that I have done in recent years is get a part time job at Circuit City. Although it is a totally dysfunctional retail environment allot of the time, I have met some of the funniest, hardest working, down to earth people in my time there. I have begun to realize that working there is not always something that I have to do, but it is often something that I like to do because of the people I work with. Most of the management has no idea what they are doing, but that is o.k, because the staff does, and we lead the ship most of the time. Go us!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Wednesday was my birthday and as I get older it strikes me how very different my life is than the year before. I am blessed to have such a wonderful life. I have a wonderful family, wonderful freinds, and although I am terribly busy I have a work life that in the big scheme of things is pretty o.k..... although I must admit I need a break from. So here is too the year before thirty, when my life officially ends, and the thirties begins, go me!

Trouble Comes in 2's!

Ella Keller The Genius!!

This is a video of Ella Keller, who is quickly on her way to being a college graduate! Apparently Allison ( Ella's daycare provider ) practices numbers and the alphabet with all the kids daily, and it really is paying off, Ella not only knows the ABC's already but she like to do them at the speed of light, she already our baby Einstein, I tried to capture the whole ABC's at the speed of light but was not totally successful, I did however recieve 2 Happy Day songs and a half of the alphabet! I guess I will have to keep on trying!

Operation Urination

When we purchased our fine home, it had one flaw that we knew about, there was a bedroom that had the faint smell of cat pee. About a year ago we had the carpet replaced and a we had scent repellent carpet pad laid down. We knew that this was only a temporary fix and that we where going to have to most likely seal the floor to take care of the smell.

Well like all Keller projects things got a little more complicated as we really took a look at the situation. So here is the long story short, I was going to paint the room, and John was going to help me, I decided before hand that I wanted to seal the floor since after doing research that seemed to be the best remedy for the pretty common problem of pet odor. I also decided I was going to replace the trim. Once I removed the trim I quickly realized that there was cat piss in the drywall. Never being one to half ass something, it was decided that remove the drywall, the insulation and the clean up and seal the whole damn thing. So here we are in the early stages of operation urination.....more updates to follow!
