Happy Birthday Will!
Happy Birthday Will. Welcome to your 40's. It sucks. Here is some Ben-Gay and Geritol.
I liked having a younger husband.
We're having some friends over tonight for beer & wings - nothing much really. We might do something Saturday night if I can muster up the energy. Since he threw such a big party for me on my 40th birthday, I felt a little odd throwing one for him when hardly anyone else around us ever ever ever throws birthday parties. Plus he kept saying he didn't want to deal with the hassle of a party. So much for that. I'm the wild party girl but he's more of a sit and talk on the back deck kind of guy. So that's what he's getting tonight.

Last weekend - and the occasional spare evening hour this week - Will and our neighbor Chad have been slowly building a bathroom in the basement. Neither of them had much knowledge on how to build a bathroom but both are very smart and Chad is a mechanical engineer who builds things like eviscerators for work. Bathroom. Eviscerator. Both deal with bowels. So they tackled the project. Once it's finished (sometime in 2009 we think) I'll post pictures, and maybe tell some of the causes for the "OH SHIT!" I kept hearing. Turns out we have EXCELLENT water pressure in the house and that while soldering is fun, using a gun with bullets in it to get the nails in concrete satisfied many needs of those two men.
As of right now there are 3 framed walls, all the plumbing, flooring and yes....a toilet. I made Will make me a makeshift toilet paper roll holder and I guess I'll stick a jar of hand sanitizer down there until the sink gets put in. Right now our project plan includes hanging some sheets for privacy. Then install the sink and shower. Frame out the fourth wall, add a door. Remove sheets, drywall and a ceiling? Oh - and a real toilet paper holder. Maybe 2010.
