I Should Open a Candle Store

People who know me know my real name is CHADWICK. People who REALLY know me know that I have always wanted to open a candle store in the mall. The best part of all this and the only reason I want to open said store is my name. I would be clever and smart and call the store Chad's Wicks and it would be mega-awesome. I'd go into work and get that insane headache I get from the 42,183 different smells all congealed into one migrane inducing potpurri (we'd sell that too).

I lost the keys to this blog a few weeks back... hence the lack of updates. We had a tree fall down in the front yard of the house we are renting, pretty decent sized one too. I was actually surprised at how strong this tropical storm was... lots of damage around town. Holden incessently kept asking to go outside and play on the swingset... in a friggin' mini hurricane. Holden is very funny now, he says the funniest things at the funniest times. He has started with throwing "why" after everything you say, while nontheless is cute and fun.. can get old after you are 'bout 15 whys deep into explaining why we need to put garbage in the trash can. Pearl is also rather awesome, as she now cries "dadadada" when she's sad. And she can now sit up.. which just makes knocking her over more enojoyable for Larry.

Our dog Steven Alexander Stewart had to be put down a few weeks ago. For all the grief I gave him he was a good dog for us. Played well with the kids and was wicked nice at D&D. He was a level 45 Goblin (or so i've been told).

The house is coming along. I got nearly all of the downstairs wired and nearly ready for drywall. We have a lot of people coming down in october to paint, so i'm trying to get as much of it ready for that as I can.

One thought to leave with you... If drunk driving is illegal, then why do bars have parking lots?
