Top 10 Things to do when the weather is BLA in Ohio

10. ) Clean the basement, spare room, etc. (you will get a strange sense of accomplishment)
9. ) Weeds Season 3 DVD Marathon (or any other show)
8. ) Dress up like an Eskimo and play with your dog in the backyard
7.) Make soup and/or chili so the warm smell fills the house
6. ) Make a flavored Snow cone (if you dare)
5. ) Burn lots of candles (I seriously think it warms your house)
4. ) Sleep on the couch with lots of blankets
3. ) Buy cool new clothes on the internet and wait for Fedex to deliver
2. ) Bubble bath with lots of bubbles
1. ) Have sexy time (aka practice making babies) under the covers

Show at Musica

After Christmas, Zac's band played a show at Musica in Akron. A pretty decent turnout considering it was the Sunday after Christmas and most people in Akron are too cheap to pay $10 to see 5 bands.
















I'm not sure if Aster was mad that he wasn't allowed to go or that I made him wear that "awesome" sweatshirt.

The past few weeks have flown by. The bathroom is almost finished - still waiting on trim to be put up to post the FINAL pics.

More Bathroom Pictures ... almost there

After trying to get Zac to be serous in one of these pictures, I finally gave up.
The final plumbing ... sink drain (only three trips to the home depot).

Plumbers crack

Aster the pup - who has gotten tired of our bathroom project, which is distracting us from spending quality time playing catch and cuddling on the couch, has taken to doing his business in the living room and eating my shoes to show us how unhappy he is.

Family

To celebrate my parent's 30th anniversary, THEY took us out to brunch at this old historical place in North Canton. Yummy brunch buffet. My mom even re-proposed to my dad with a new wedding ring (since he lost his over 25 years ago). And now, since my dad is retired, he has no excuse not to wear it! : )

One Republic

Last night, Zac and I, along with some friends, went to the One Republic concert at EJ Thomas Hall. They played with three other bands and the show was really good. Most notable to me was the base player for One Republic. The scrawny, emo rocker kid started the concert playing the base guitar. A few songs into the set, he busts out a cello. Yes, a cello - the classical string instrument you see old ladies playing in an orchestra. The way the band incorporated the classical instrument into their overall sound was really cool. Props to the cello kid (Brent Kutzle), he was awesome.
