Out With a Whisper

You know what I didn’t really do this entire month here on the site?

("Write well, not just often” is not an option, so pipe down.)

I haven’t posted pictures of Ellis!

Let’s rectify that, post haste.

Did you know we have a bunny? We used to have two. One died. We were sad. We now have one. Bunnies are great. Low maintenance and very cute. Not really sure what they are good for, beside petting. But in one way I guess it’s good that we have a pet we could theoretically make into a nice soup, should we fall on hard times. Not that I’m advocating eating one’s pets and I’ve never made nor slurped rabbit stew, but I’m just sayin’… Rabbits are kind of strange pets.

Crazy making and fearsomely cute and whip smart all wrapped up into a tiny package.

Finally, the house really should be done in a week. Like, wow. A couple days ago, our contractor installed our fabulous oven and scary cool microwave oven.

I can’t tell you how much I want to bake something RIGHT NOW. Reha won’t let me take off the plastic wrap until the whole thing is done. BUT I WANT TO MAKE A PIE!

The cabinets still need the handles/pulls. And the concrete countertops go in next week. And the sink and plumbing hook ups. And some finished drawer fronts need to be installed. And the light fixtures go in next week. As soon as we choose them, of course. More decisions! Whee! So close.

This hereby ends NaBloPoMo. Thirty days, one post per day. Invigorating, frightening and delightful all at the same time. Kind of like riding a roller coaster blindfolded and naked, in the dead of winter and it’s snowing and the wind is blowing so your naughty bits become frostbitten and now you have to have a hose in order to flush waste properly from your body.

Maybe that’s not the best metaphor.

You get it, though?

In any case.

I’m done.

Later!

1. Jon, Congratulations on successfully completeing NaBloPoMo!  I must say, of all the blogs I read that were participating in NaBloPoMo… yours were some of the most consistently entertaining posts of all!  Well done!

3. The kitchen looks great.  I’ll have to come over sometime and cook you up some rabbit stew.  Totally yummy stuff…

   Or maybe I should just stick to crepes.

   Congrats on making it through the whole month.

4. Hey, you have my dream kitchen! I do have the microwave, at least.

6. Oh my, please don’t hose my naughty bits, frostbit or no.

7. Ellis looks lovely, and so does the kitchen!  Concrete countertops = very cool.  Many moons ago I posted photos of our kitchen renovation; it’s so great to have it all done.

8. Congratulations on going the distance! Mighty entertaining reading each day as well.
   Btw, if you leave a straw hat on the floor, a bunny will eat it.
   Bunnies taste good in rabbit pie.
   Especially bunnies who eat your hat.

9. Thanks!

   It’s been interesting.

   And I think I might have to try that thing with the straw hat and the bunny. Not so I could eat the bunny, of course, because that seems like it might be mean and that I was just fattening the little critter up so we could eat him later.

   See what I mean.... Bunnies are weird pets!

10. I am so jealous of that kitchen. Wow.

    Also, your little girl is too cute.  Cute enough to eat, so maybe that’s why you have the bunny?

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
