the amazing race

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. rob and amber??? oh boy oh boy oh boy.

i cooked today. made some homemade macaroni and cheese, and then karey had some work to do. about a year ago we took the wallpaper off our bedroom wall. we were supposed to then wash the glue off the wall with this special stuff and then rinse it off to prepare it for painting. ya, we left it until today. so by eight oh clock, i was scrubbing glue off the wall and karey was rinsing. man, that's a work out. at first i was rubbing it off with a rag, but that was going slow and karey remembered that we had a bristle scrubby brush and so i went to town with that. it felt good to put some elbow grease into it. my hands were slick with wet glue, and i was scrubbing furiously in little circles, dip, scrub, dip scrub, scrub scrub. by nine oh clock we were about half way done. so we turned on the amazing race and i ran out during every commercial to scrub. i got done around ten thirty. whew. karey wanted to stop because she was worried that sound of brushing would bother mrs. mattu who might be in bed, but there was no way i was stopping when i was that close to being done. i was on a roll! "i'm sorry" i said in my head to mrs mattu, as i scrubbed, "but you will just have to deal with a little bit of discomfort until i get done. there's worse things in the world." i don't know why we waited so long to do it. the wall was soo ugly too.

it was a great finale to the amazing race. haden was hilarious, especially when their taxi was going the wrong way and aaron threw her bag at her, and when she broke her key. what a never ending, nagging, whinning, complaining, fretting incessent mouth she has on her! aaron must like it. he proposed afterall. it was a close race between my two favourite teams, but chris and jon my faves were second. oh well. i have to give adam and rebecca their due, because they did become a better team in the last two legs of the race.

well i'm going to bed with hands that can barely clench anymore and aching muscles in my arms from the forearm to the shoulders and it feels good.

a guy on the news was just trying to say "gases" but he said "gayshes" how embarrassing.
