Signs

I have a sort of obsession with vintage signs.  I'd love to have this sign in our kitchen.

Or this one for our upstairs hall.

Or this one for the office.

So I've been thinking...do you think this one would fit somewhere in our House?!

Mike's Fave

Mike has a few things that he LOVES... 

One of them is Bandidos. 

I'm really not sure what it is about this place, but he has to go there every time we are in town.  It's a Mexican restaurant in Fort Wayne, IN.  I know there is one in Muncie too. 

Last time we went, here is what happened... 

A Moment

We have 2 dogs...

Lex and Louie

Sometimes they are the neediest dogs ever.  Lex thinks he's small so he jumps up in your lap and then looks awkwardly uncomfortable once he gets there...I think because he realizes he's too big to be doing that and then stays there anyways. 

I'll tell you about Lou some other time. 

The other day Lex and Mike were giving each other some lovin'.  Maybe Lex was giving more than Mike. 

King of Kong

I think it was last Thursday night... 
I came downstairs around 11 or so to see where Mike was.  Obviously it was bed time. 
There was this really strange movie on.  It was like they were in an arcade.  The only problem was that there as this one man, Steve, who wasn't so nerdy like the rest. 
Of course I sat down, intrigued by the huge glasses, cuffed jeans, and mullets.

The movie was called King of Kong - A Fist Full of Quarters... now a new favorite.
Long story short, Mike was watching a documentary on Donkey Kong and one particular battle to get the high score at Fun Spot and LIVE. 

Of course drama unfolds and the nerds are like a group of cool kids who don't want to let anyone in...  There are even referees to make sure everything is good and legal and no cheating is involved.  The refs are from Twin Galaxies.   It's really unbelievable.

Mike loves this movie so much of that we showed it to our guest on Saturday night. 

"Possible Donkey Kong kill screen coming up if anyone is interested." 

I think it's Mike's new obsession.  Someday I'm sure we'll have an Old School Donkey Kong or Pac Man video arcade game in our garage so that Mike can go attempt to beat a high score at a Fun Spot Arcade and become a part of this random culture. 

Let's Watch A Movie, Or Not

Saturday night we sat down to watch a movie.  I think we cleaned RedBox out.  We rented 3.  But, we had put "When in Rome" in the DVD player and were prepared to watch it. 

I think the movie was about 20 minutes in when this happened. 

Wait! Where did the TV go?!











Oh, there is it!  Mike's got it. 
On the floor.
Trying to fix the tilt. 
Really?!  Right now?! 

After about 40 minutes at least of trying to take off the stand and then put it back on so that the TV didn't lean again, we were back on track.  The TV was back in it's place.

But now we had a visitor.  :)

We finished the movie Sunday morning. 

Coffee

Last night I was too lazy to set up the coffee maker so I made Mike do it. 

I think that's why he wanted the Keurig, so he could make a good cup of coffee everyday.

But now we have a cuisinart regular coffee maker.

FAIL. (I still love you Mr. K)

Now sitting at work, drinking my coffee, I remember why I set the coffee maker and not Mike.
