It's our birthday! :)

Here's why I never call anyone anymore

If you are totally bored and care to read what I have been doing the past 7 weeks, click here and view the "Cedar Cultural Center Development Audit." I know, buuu-oooo-ring!

just a tracey apartment update

Just to keep this blog updated ... and to give me another place to talk about my apartment.

Well I got the go-ahead to start moving in on Saturday.
With Max in the cities all weekend, I took I did as much work as I could without him.

I've decided to move room by room. Saturday as soon as my landlord left I painted one wall in the kitchen. It was the grubbiest and the wall the sink is on so I knew I'd look at it and be grossed out every time I washed the dishes. I didn't want to take on the task of painting the whole kitchen, so just did the one wall. I think it looks crisp and clean!
This kitchen is a bit smaller with adequate storage, wood floors and no wood paneling! It's very white and bright. I can't wait for you'all to come up and have a cup of coffee with me in my new kitchen ... cute cute cute.
I think I will use some left over fabric keri gave me to make a nice bright white shade so I can go to the fridge in my nightgown and not worry the neighbors are peeping in!

Tonight I'm focusing on the bathroom. It's half the size of my current bath ... but that just means less place for dog hair tumble weeds to gather. Man do they get everywhere!
Bought a new shower head for only $18 and it's a world of difference. I don't know how the old tenants even showered with the limecrusted old one. yuck. I'm going to treat max and I to some nice Aveda products as a housewarming gift to our self!

Charlie is loving the new place following me every time I went up there over the weekend and believe me it was A LOT! I am soooooo sore today. My calf muscles are killing me!

One thing I 'm really liking about the new place is how bright it stays up there into the night. Around 5 or 6 when I'd go down stairs it was considerably darker in my apartment. That's a real bonus ... I can't wait for the long summer nights to come!

Additional new-blogger comment

In addition to Tracey's post below, I wanted to mention to be sure to read the comments section. From time to time, we may have a post, and then a discussion may ensue. Follow the comments below. If you feel that you are adding a comment to a post that is old, and therefore we may not see it, just go ahead and add a new post.
Make sense?

So:

Post = A photo, a message, etc, that appears in date order on our site.
Comment = a comment on an individual post.



Also, the "gmail thing." Blogger has decided that it will only let people use their site if they have a gmail acount. So mom, you will need to create an account in gmail. This will be a new email account for yourself, and it will allow you access to post and comment on our site. However, you don't have to use your email account. For instance, I have a gmail account (kerileroux@gmail.com) ...but I never use it. I only use it when I log in here. The account I still use is muenchkeri@hotmail.com...since I've had that account for almost 15 years.

I hope this makes sense.

Lastly, and tracey may have mentioned this as well

Blogger 101 for those of you that are new to this

BLOGGER 101

Here's a little tutorial about posting a blog post [and adding pictures] to our fun family blog.

When you visit toomuenchfun.blogspot.com it will not automatically ask you to sign in. If you are not logged into your gmail.com account you will need to click on the sign in link at the upper right corner of the page. Once you log in using your gmail account information you will be sent to your blog dashboard as they like to call it. In the Muench Family Blog area of the page click the link that says New Post.

That will take you to a blank blog post screen.
Here you just type your blog entry. You can change font size, color, bold it, change justification, add a list or bullet points and even spell check. Yippee.
The other icons at the top of the entry section includes one that looks like parentheses or glasses on a globe. That's the Hyperlink tool.
Highlight text or a picture, click this link, and add a web link to take the reader to a certain web page.

Another tool is the icon that looks like a scenic picture. Click that link and another box will pop up prompting you to add images. You add images from your own computer. You can change the size or justification and then click upload image. You can click and drag the image once it is in your post to place it where you'd like to see it. Word to the wise though, the post never looks exactly like you think it will, that why you can always go back and edit posts. Just ask KL or I if you need to do that.

The final useful tool on the page is the movie icon. You can load your own little movies really easy with this icon.
If you want to post YouTube videos you will have to switch your blog post to Edit Html and drop in the videos embedded code. This too is easy and I can tell you how to do that if you are interested. Actually I just did ... hee hee

Once you are finished you just click PUBLISH POST at the bottom left of the screen.
The end.

This is currently a public blog so if you want to remain anonymous to random visitors please don't use names and refrain from talking about anyone or anything that could get you in some sort of trouble with work or friends.

Ogden Fun Days

Well as it turns out, our Granny and Grandpa have been chosen by someone to be one couple of 6-or 7 that get to ride in a float for the Ogden Fun Days Parade.


I'd like to go down if you all are in for it. The Parade starts at 10:30 on Saturday. Here's the only thing...it is on Saturday June 21. That is the exact same day I have a surprise for Tracey waiting for us back in the cities. We need to be back in time for early evening that very same day.

So, here's my proposition, who's in for driving down to Iowa on Friday night with me? But, you pretty much gotta leave with me right around 12noon-ish on Saturday, right after the parade. I know, not ideal...but that's how it goes.

The reason we have to be back in town is a surprise, but if tracey uses some slueth-skills, she might be able to guess what it is. Its a b-day present from me, so we gotta be back for it, and it is only on that day.

Anyone? Anyone?

Max and I have been recruited by TAPS

This is how we went to the Geek Prom last weekend at the Aquarium in Duluth. We heard there was a haunting there and we were going to debunk it!
Check out our fellow Ghost Hunters ... the real taps .. every Wednesday on SciFi
I finally got to go to the Greak Lakes Aquarium, where I saw a drunk guy try to tie a balloon to a sting ray .. I wanted to smack him good!

Wish I was there!
