Summer...to Spring? ish?

So, our gutters on the north side were clogged. Again. For the second year in a row.

So, how many times will it take us to remember to clean out the gutters on the first nice day we have in the Spring?

Next year, I hope I will remember standing out in the pouring rain, under an umbrella, holding the ladder for Jake while he tries to clean out said gutter. It was cold. And I was wet. Plus, he tried using the hose to spray the crap through, which it was too clogged for and then he threw the hose on the ground still on, which I proceeded to accidentally spray myself with.

Whoops!

In other news, the Brewers have been good the last three games and it makes me happy! I def enjoy the games more when they win. As is true with most things in life -- when you win at things, life is better. ha ha!

I also started and finished my last mock-up for Brooke's wedding invites. I want to have most everything sitting here and waiting for me to print out and cut and paste together when I'm home for 9 weeks, just watching a baby. So, I think that I have most of it completed -- there are a few things here and there that I need more information for, but I can still ask for that and go to town. I think that I'm going to have to take the printer upstairs, because it's kind of loud and if it keeps waking the baby up, that will piss me off. Or I could go downstairs. Either way.

I think that they are pretty cool, BTW. I wish that I would have done something like this for mine, but that's okay. They are def more formal that causal, but when the wedding is a church wedding plus reception at a different venue, I think that calls for a more formal invite. They are also simpler -- I don't have the tools to do something more elaborate, you know? if I had a super nice printer and a good graphic design program, I could potentially make something more fancy. I'd need a lot of practice and learning for the design part though. Maybe someday, I'll take the time to learn. I guess I could use GIMP, but it's SO not user friendly. Too bad Photoshop is so DANG expensive!

I almost wish it would be something I could do for a living -- making wedding invites, but I don't have enough graphic design background to do really cool things. I wish I did. Oh well. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. :) For now. I can dream! :)
