Bunny's Can't Take Time to Blog

I haven't been able to blog much lately because I am completely consumed by my new Wii game. Poor Kent hasn't been able to play his shoot em game in days. I'm completely addicted, my arms actually ache from playing the stupid thing, and I have the mouth of a sailor from swearing at the dang television.

A few bunny facts for you:

Nature's Bounty

Our first home grown cucumber from our very own garden!

IA Summer Pool Party!

You'll Shoot Your Eye Out Kid!

On Sunday Kent and I decided to buy ourselves a barbeque that we don't have to squat to use. We bought a pre-assembled one at Wal-Mart and figured we had better buy some bungee cords to secure it in the back of the truck. We bought two packs, just in case, but only used one to actually tie down the grill. When we get home Kent goes to open the other pack and, being Kent, stops and carefully reads the instructions.

Note number 3.

He then proceeds to hook the ends of two of them together and then hook them under his foot and pull. I was vacuuming and still heard the smack. Somehow they had slid out from under his foot and smacked him square in the eye. Luckily he was wearing glasses, not lucky for the glasses. The lense had fallen out and was on the floor. Glad we paid the extra money for the lenses that can take a good hit.

Kent said he was about to come and tell me to keep the cord away from face and body. I learned from example.

Like a Phoenix from the Ashes....


That dang lilac bush sprung new life! I hate being wrong!

After These Messages.... We'll Be Right Back

We interupt this blog for a few advertisements.

I have all of these things gathering up around my house so I have decided to put my blog to good use and try to unload some stuff. I know this isn't some online auction house but it is my blog and I can post whatever I want.

First item up for sale: This lovely Ikea shelf, new, still in the box

I swear, I measured the wall. I then took those measurements with me to Ikea and read their measurements on the box. Sure, this shelf will fit my back door entryway. I bring it home and wait probably a month to get it out of the box to put it together. I think to myself, self this shelf seems really long, you better take the longest board and see if it will fit. Nope, it's about 3 inches too long. So since I had waited so long to open it and I don't happen to live around the corner from Ikea, I didn't ever get around to taking it back. I can't even remember how much I paid for it but if you are interested we can work something out.

Next item up for grabs: A slightly used desk

Ok so it's not this desk and slightly used is sort of an understatement. My brother got me this desk for free because it was damaged and his store couldn't sell it. Then it has sort of gotten a little dinged every time I have moved. I've had it for awhile so I couldn't find a picture on the internet and I didn't want to go take one. It does look a little like this, it has a hutch across the top and has two drawers on one side and a cabinet on the other for the computer. If you want this desk it's yours. We may even be able to negotiate delivery.

I think that's it today for self promotion. Thanks for watching we now return you to regular blog reading.
