Oh these Wine wedding favors are so cute. They are double heart wine bottle stoppers and I love the way they look. I can’t wait till the wedding to have mine. I know that I could have it now, but I will wait like everyone else. After all, that is part of the fun. The wedding is only a couple of months away and I get more excited as each day passes. You would think it was my wedding as excited as I am. That is how things are when you have a close friend like mine. Our lives have been entwined since we were kids and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I am certainly happy that I really like her fiance. He has become like a brother to me, just as she is like a sister. I am so happy for them.
Orders from headquarters
Okay, yes I am laughing, because I am talking about ordering stuff for my honey online. I had to order acme thread something or other for him. I can’t find the paper he wrote it on, but I know that I got it right when I ordered it, because I had the paper then. My desk is a mess from doing so much work from home. I think tomorrow, I will take the bull by the horns and clean it.
Lift kit
So I bought my honey a lift kit for his 4WD for Christmas. He was so surprised by it. I knew which one he wanted and ordered it online. Hiding it was difficult to say the least. I had to get it up into the attic after I wrapped it, so he wouldn’t try to shake it to see what it was. When I took it down from there to put it under the tree, I buried it under the kids presents that we already had. He never even knew it was there.
You should have seen the look on his face when he opened it. That look was priceless. He didn’t think we had the money for it yet, but I had been putting away money for Christmas all year and didn’t let him know how much I had. It was a little trick but so worth the effort. Now his Jeep will look amazing with the lift on it. We are going to have to put some steps on it just to get into it now. Fortunately, they are not too expensive and we can get them buy the end of January. He will install everything at the same time.
I am so happy that I did this for him. It is hands down one of the best presents that I have ever bought him. He does a lot for us though, so he really deserved it. He asked me if I wanted one on my new Jeep, but I said no. I have to do the grocery shopping for the house and it would be too much to try and get the groceries in and out of it. Not to mention the kids have to be able to get in and out of it every day. Just too much trouble for an everyday vehicle.
Build your own Cob home
I am glad that these skills are coming back today. Learning to build a cob home is relatively easy and is amazingly cheap to do. If your friends help you, they learn new techniques that are really helpful to them as well. It is a very green way to build and is very sturdy in comparison to some of the materials that are used today for most wood frame houses. I have been studying this for a while now and would really like to try it someday. I may start with a cob outbuilding for my property, or something like that. We shall see.
