Kittens and Treadmills

Two totally unrelated topics I know-


On Mother's Day we went out to Nina and Papa's house for egg rolls (yummy) and on the way we stopped and Uncle Wesley's house to see the kittens. Laney found one that seemed to like her (or had given up the will to live) and carried it around the entire time. At one point her arms must have gotten tired so she shoved it down her overalls- poor thing just hung there- making no effort to escape. Laney LOVED it!



A few weeks ago Ryan and I got a treadmill in the hopes that we would both start getting into shape (okay- truth? I need to get in shape. The bean pole I'm married to just wanted an excuse to watch sports center). We unloaded it (Ryan dropped it on his toe) then Ryan set up a tv, rearraged the room and basically did all the work to get set up. He didn't use it for a week or so, but the first time he did.... he kicked a hole through the wall. The way I understand it is that the treadmill went faster than he did thus propelling his foot through the drywall. He would like you all to know that he didn' t fall what with his cat-like reflexes! Just one more project to add to the honey- do list. Anyone know how to repair a hole like that?

That's really easy to do! Just shave it to a square. Cut a piece of drywall a little bit bigger than the hole. Cut the drywall piece down to the size of the hole, leaving about an inch and a half of the paper for a border(Very important!)Put a little drywall mud around the hole then fit the piece in the wall and mud around the paper. Let dry and Texture to match your wall. I've done this a few times! :)
