TOOTH FAIRY UPDATE...

BREAKING NEWS - TOOTH FAIRY TO VISIT PONTOTOC

Well, Christmas is over (Dad still hasn't sorted through video and pictures to post)but I'll get on him to get that done soon.

As you see in the picture above, I noticed that my tooth was very loose this morning. Tonight when I was brushing with my new musical toothbrush that Ms. Charlotte got me for Christmas (plays YMCA when you brush - cool) out it came. Mom reached for it, but down the drain it went. Dad had to play plumber. After a quick p-trap removal - I had my tooth back. Now off to find out what the going rate for a first tooth is from the tooth fairy.

You can click on the picture to see a larger view.

Check back tomorrow to see what I got from the tooth fairy.

Quick slide show from pour day.

Well - shot a good bit of video that I hope to get edited together by the weekend, but the 2 raw videos and this short slideshow will have to do for today. Tonight is the night we make glass candy for work. (At least until we run out of Karo)

Here we go!

Windows, Doors and Floors

Well - the White Castle now looks like a White Clown - will post pictures tomorrow. Jodie attended the "First Annual Quail Creek Christmas Bunch" at the invitation of one of the neighbors and fielded several questions about "what in the heck are you doing down there on the corner". All joking aside, she had a wonderful time and as has been the case since we first bought the lot, was welcomed into the neighborhood by all in attendance.

After the brunch, we went to B'ham to buy doors and flooring (windows were bought earlier in the week) - all should be on site in the next 3 weeks or so.

CONCRETE PUMPING FOR THE WALLS BEGINS AT 9:30 IN THE MORNING (12/18/07). Seating is on first come first served basis and tickets are $20 at the door or $15 in advance - make checks payable to Trustmark Bank c/o Thompson Construction Interest installment payments. Hope to have lots of video and stills and hopefully no concrete spills.

New White Castle Burgers Location in Tupelo

I'm sure the neighbors think the cheese has slid off our cracker, but the house is coming together now. Either that or they think we hold the franchise rights to White Castle Burgers in MS. So far this week has been spent on deciding on windows and a fireplace - both tasks are complete - I think. Weather is going to delay the pouring of the concrete walls until Friday or Monday, but there is plenty of "finish" work to be done in the garage now.

As for Mom and "Reagan/Thatcher" (sounds like a weekend at Camp David), they rolled over the other night and now have a pinched nerve - Mom keeps begging for a Flexeril, but Missy has her on hot showers and Myofelx cream (and that ain't cutting it.) Says this is much worse than labor with me. I may send her back to Missy tomorrow if she keeps this up. All for now, bye.

Whadaya Think?

Week 11 Framing Continues

Week 16 ? Update

Mom & ? had their regular Missy visit today. Everybody's doing fine. Heartbeat in the 130s - which means nothing although boys tend to be in that range and I was always in the 150-160 range. Mom and dad say next month we may get to find out what we're having. I'm not telling them I already know - It's a baby, silly.
