Late night and a quirk

So last night, Adam and I fell asleep on the LoveSac. I woke up a couple of hours later and got up to brush my teeth, etc. When I came out in the kitchen, I thought I saw something, but it was dark and I had taken my contacts out, so I convinced myself it was nothing. Then, I really did see something - a dark blur dashed out from under our toaster oven, ran down the cupboards, and went under the fridge, fast as a flash! I gasped loudly, and Jasp came in from the living room to see if he could help! Well, he came in to check on me, at least! Meanwhile, Adam was still passed out on the LoveSac. I can only assume it was a mouse! Yuck! Now we have another mouse to catch :-( Oh man that really freaked me out, though. I was glad Jasper wanted to protect me, though :-) He's the best dog ever!

Also, I have this windshield wiper quirk. Whenever it's raining/snowing, I never want my wipers to be going faster than other people's. I'm actually a lot better than I used to be - I used to always check other cars to see how fast their wipers were going, and slow mine down if I was going too fast. I don't know why it bothers me - I guess I don't like the idea of someone driving past me and thinking "what's with the fast wipers?" Even though I know it doesn't matter at all. I mean, if I want to have my wipers on all the way, I can do whatever I want! And like I said, I'm better now - I only occasionally peek to see the wiper status quo, and even when I do, I usually just keep it at whatever speed I have it on. Weird, I know!

More life

So not only did I have to get the heater core in my car replaced, they also had to replace the dash, because it was falling apart when they were taking it out to repair said heater core. That was not a fun trip to the dealership. But at least my heat works now! I can hopefully survive another Wisconsin winter.

In addition to that, we have to replace our roof. It definitely needs to be replaced, but we were hoping to be able to put it off a little longer. At least now it will be done and our house will look even nicer than it does now! I finally decided (with Adam's agreement) to go with brown for the roof instead of dark green. I figure that way, when we eventually redo the siding, we have more options open for colors than light green or white (the only two I would have liked with a dark green roof). And we still have to get tickets for Christmas. So much for trying to save money after vacation!

Christmas play rehearsals are going well. Much better than I was expecting. We've got some good kids at our church, and a lot of willing adults who volunteer. I love our church.

I still enjoy writing, even when I don't have a whole lot to say. I hope you don't mind my "nothing" posts. I did feel like I had something substantial to say this time, but now I can't remember what it was. Oh well. Stay tuned, maybe I will think of it later.
