Cheers and Jeers

In the spirit of TV Guide's "Cheers and Jeers" section, here is our weekend in a nutshell.

Cheer - the biggest cheer, obviously, is that the Phillies won the NL East. I can't believe I'm at a point in my life where that is my biggest cheer, but it is! We attended the game on Friday night with Kevin's brother Brian. The atmosphere at the stadium was very exciting, even if that game wasn't that thrilling.

Jeer - on the way home from the game, we were downtown on a narrow street and hit a curb, immediately deflating one of the rear tires on my car. We had to change the tire on Sansom St. The only thing that makes this kind of a cheer is that I didn't have to change the tire myself, I had two able-bodied young men to do it for me. This means I also spent Saturday morning and money we didn't anticipate on 2 new tires.

Cheer - another big cheer is that my friend Sandy had her twins on Saturday! They are early, they are little, but they are all doing well. Very exciting!

Cheer - in other twin news, my twin cousins slept over on Saturday night. Nothing too exciting, but it is always nice to see them since they have such busy schedules.

Jeer - due to the flat tire on Friday night, and the sleepover on Saturday night, I was tres fatigue on Sunday. Kevin also had a long weekend of home remodeling (@ his parents), bachelor parties and golf. We did not see each other much.

Cheer - another big cheer is that my dad solved our tile finishing issue on Saturday. We just have not got that project done because I was unhappy with the caulk finish I had planned. We devised a wood trim solution, but in the end, a different brand of caulk was all we needed. The master caulker went to work, and now the tile project is (almost) done. A clear sealer will be applied, a table will be purchased for the kitchen, and our kitchen work order will officially be closed. Before and after pictures will be posted.

That wraps it up! Have a good week!
