Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
Andy and I went to the MU Men’s Basketball game this evening. Special thanks to Jeremy for watching the kids for us! The game went into overtime with MU eventually beating the LSU Tigers. It’s going to be a bit of a rough year or two for our Mizzou Tigers as they have a new coach and a very young team. They showed some real flashes of brilliance tonight and I am willing to bet that they are going to be one really tough team in a couple of years. M-I-Z!
It’s a red wine kind of day…
…on the morning school bus in the cold. I have to say though that 20 degrees is better than the 0 degrees it is supposed to be tomorrow at this time!
See the pushed up cushion in the middle of our sectional sofa?
Well, that happened about 10 days ago. Obviously, it is a broken spring. Andy called Slumberland because we purchased the warranty. I was told by more than one person that we were crazy for buying the warranty. Slumberland put in a claim and sent out a furniture repair person. Not only is the spring broken, but the boards underneath are as well. The furniture repair person said, “I haven’t seen a couch do that before.” Today, Andy received an email informing us that Slumberland will replace the entire couch. The moral of the story here?!? Ninety-five percent of the time the warranty is *entirely* useless, but it is *completely* worth it the other five percent. That $90 spent three years ago just saved us at least $350 (the lowest cost estimate to fix it). More likely, we would have had to just replace the entire thing… Thank you warranty.
It’s time for the annual “changing of the pictures.” When it is all laid out on the table, it sure looks like a lot of work! Fortunately, it only took about 45 minutes of time to finish.
I wandered into our bedroom to make our bed and found this. She is drawing and watching television though I suspect she would not notice if I turned off the television. The bed can wait.
It is that time of year again! Laura is selling Girl Scout Cookies! She has a goal of 300 boxes and has already sold ten boxes. Only 290 more to go! If anyone wants this super cute Brownie to sell them cookies, just let me know and we will get it done! There are eight different kinds of cookies for $4 per box. I can ship cookies to out-of-towners. Let the orders begin!
