The Cat's Out of the Bag

I have been keeping busy with a secret Christmas project for Jeremy. Ok, so this project requires me to sneak over to my parent's house at least once a week with Yoda in tow. Lillie, my parent's puppy, and Yoda are by no means the best of friends. They get along, um, ok, but last night there was blood. Everyone is ok, but the stress of worrying about Yoda while I am working on this project has gotten to me. That and I can only come up with so many lies about why I am spending many hours at my parent's house without giving anything away.

So, last night I had my mom print out a picture of the project my dad and I are feverishly trying to finish, put it in a shirt box and wrap it in Christmas paper. I gave it to Jeremy when I got home. I figure it was easier to just tell him now so that I can go and spent all day Saturday at my parent's and try to get this thing done.

Aren't you impressed with my skills on the Compound Miter Saw? Don't worry, there will be a full story with pictures when it is complete, I just wanted to tease with my masterful use of power tools.

I told Jeremy that he better love me for this...it's cold in that garage! And I have been getting up at 6:30 am on Saturdays and sneaking off to hardwood stores. That's dedication. Last night my dad and I bought some MDF from the Home Depot and used their Big Orange Cart to push the wood home. It was only across the street, but it was cold and we got some weird looks. We brought the cart back, of course, where were we going to put it?

What a nice wife you are! I hope the doggies are ok. We are in the middle of melding my dogs and my sis-in-laws dogs and we are going about it very carefully.
