So yeah, we haven't posted anything in some time. We've clearly dropped the ball, since I'm sure everyone checks this blog out daily with great excitement and anticipation, just hoping for an update! But for those of you reading this (with any regularity or not), please accept our apologies for our absenteeism.
We haven't done a lot with the house recently and don't plan on doing anything major for a bit. We've added curtains to the den, though. So, with the exception of the small window above the kitchen sink that we probably won't do anything with anyway, we're done with window treatments on the first floor. Actually, I take that back - we still need to adjust the wood blinds we installed. Then we will be done with windows. And that's really all we've done around the house, with the exception of putting up some smoke detectors and whatnot, but those aren't cool enough to get pictures. Cuz really... smoke detectors? Not exactly the glamorous side of home improvement.

There was a fun event in Avon a few weekends ago - the Hendricks County Rib-Fest! Luckily for us this lovely event took place at Kingsway Christian Church, which is very close to our house. We walked over with some friends to enjoy some good food (can't beat ribs and elephant ears) and fireworks.

Leslie and I have also been having some fun. We made margaritas the other day, which is always a good time. We also made chicken salad (with walnuts and grapes and other fun things). I even made mayonnaise from scratch for it, which was something I'd never tried before. The chicken salad recipe (which I modified only slightly) is definitely a keeper, but we didn't have any sour cream this time and will make sure we have it next time.

In other news, we're still without internet. Supposedly, according to Leslie's latest phone conversation with AT&T, the work in our area should be finished on the 15th. So, if that actually happens, we will hopefully be able to schedule them to come out and hook us up shortly after. It would be very nice to start living in the modern world again. And to be able to play BF3 and Portal 2 online (and check out the oh-so-dangerous Steam summer sale).
That's about all that's going on around here. I'm also working nights right now, so that makes it pretty tough to get much done around the house. Hopefully once we get into August we'll have more time to work on projects again. Now, to reward you all for sticking with this post (or skipping to the bottom), here's a picture of our cat, the real star of the blog.

Oh, and one more thing - we haven't named the bonus room anything yet. It's not that we didn't love your suggestions... it's just that we didn't love your suggestions. We'll get back to this at some point, so we'll let you know more then. Thanks for reading!
