The visit

moving the bed - a weekend


Just before christmas my mom broke her foot when she slipped on ice. Last weekend she was finally liberated from her banment to the ground floor, and she was dying to get her bed out! My (twin) sister and I decided to take an overnight trip to visit her and help her out with this bed problem by getting it upstairs -- but upon looking at the footage of my weekend I found myself nodding off when it got to the actual bed-move (the subject matter I had initially intended for this post). Instead, the interactions between my sister, mom and me, were much more entertaining.

--so, the "more than what it is meant to be" theme of this weeks post is about a trip to help out my mom that ended up being more beneficial than just getting a bed to the second floor. So without further ado, The visit.

Rodents



This week has been interesting, and to say the least, eventful. This video, the first of hopefully many is the product of many-a-interesting converstions. As I have recently discovered, the humans in my life are reluctant to be caught on video... so I have turned to the rodent that has knawed and hacked into my home.
It could be considered a little off topic to be discussing rats (as my chosen blogging topic is how things are more than they are meant to be). However, I believe that we often don't take the time to look at what is surrounding the cultural identity of rats. So this blog is dedicated to the idea that often what makes something of any importance is how people believe it to be.

so without further ado I bring you - the rat video
