I, atpanda, being of sound mind and body…

In light of the very sad situation in
Florida with Terri Schivo, and as a result of my utter laziness toward finding out what the actual legal avenue is for this, I would like to state the following:

I give my consent to award full guardianship of myself to my husband Ryan in the event that I am unable to care for myself.  If it has been shown by extensive testing that I am in fact brain dead with no chance of recovery, my wishes are that I, at the discretion of my husband, be allowed to pass on in the most humane way possible.  If Oregon still allows doctor assistance in this event, I would like consideration to be given to transporting me there for examination and a painless death.  I then wish to be cremated and have no funeral, but instead a celebration with all my favorite foods, favorite music, favorite alcohol, and a viewing of my pictures with my friends and loved ones.  I leave all of my belongings to my husband Ryan.  In the event that something happens to him, I will allow my mother to be the custodian of our property for proper distribution taking into consideration the desires of Ryan’s parents for his personal effects.  Kevin gets our music and movie collection.  $5000 each should be given to a no-kill shelter and the American Cancer Society.  In the case where neither of us survives, I would award joint custody of Karma and Mika to both sets of parents, but they should be kept together. 

Anyone else want to add their wishes for the record?  Is blog suitable for admittance to court?  At any rate, I need someone to witness that I’m sane or something, right?  Any of you dare to do that?  :-)

But the dogs hate the tile

OK, so maybe we’re a tad out of control.  I’m not posting any more pictures of the remodel until it’s all done because some of you probably will end up seeing it in person and my crazy husband is all excited about surprising people. 

Here’s a list of all the changes we’ve made:

  1. New tile
  2. New roof
  3. New stove
  4. New carpet
  5. Painted bedroom
  6. Painted living room
  7. No more Jungle Room
  8. New area rug for living room
  9. New furniture in the Music Room
  10. New window covering in the living room
  11. Laundry room inside the house (that’s happening this weekend)

It’s just like having a new house!  I got home last night and my fridge was back in, my dressers were back in the closet, my new stove was there, and the nasty blinds in the main room are gone.  This is the first time that I’ve LOVED my house. 

Can’t wait to have you all over to see it!
