Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you. Today was the Color Run 5k in Winona Lake. The kids and I got white t-shirts on and did the run (mostly walk) through the Winona Lake trails while poeple at a few stations along the way threw handfuls of colored powder at everyone. It didn't really work the way it was supposed to. There's supposed to be clouds of paint flying all about while you run through them, and you wind up with color splatters all over you, but it didn't quite happen that way.We had fun though.
This week we also finally got new carpet in the living room! It took 3 days to get a 1-day job done but it is now done. Beth and I moved everything in the living room into the dining room or downstairs, and we had a carpet place come rip out all the old gross blue-gray 25-year old carpet and replace it with new. Most of the new carpet went in Wednesday, but they left the stairs bare, with all the tack strips exposed. I assumed they would be back the next day to finish (and was assured on the phone they would be) but nobody ever came back, and they denied the phone conversation had happened. I did raise enough of a fuss to get someone back on Friday to finish the job. But I guess it was still a 1-day job since they only worked 30 minutes on day 3 and zero minutes on day 3. But, now it is done. Beth picked it out. I like it but I'm afraid it will get matty after it's walked on for a while. She says it won't. We'll see.
