[cecilbturtle]

you ever wonder how many firsts a person gets in their life? first birthday, first day of school, first kiss, first car, first job...is it too soon for a mid life crisis? im sitting here drinking an imperial stout wondering how many firsts i have left.

The first night I slept in this house (the first house I've owned), the copper water line on the fridge cracked open and nearly flooded the downstairs while we slept. Nothing like being taught an important lesson about home ownership real early on.

I think every day is a first...my most memorable first day was the day I was diagnosed with MS. Not my favorite, just most memorable.

It couldn't have been going on for too long before I got up, because it was just a puddle in the laundry room and some soggy carpet in the hallway. That could have been much, much worse.

Another first... I had my first house fire about 6 months ago (lol). It finally got all fixed up in Dec, and when we moved back in I had my two cats locked up in the upstairs bathroom for a few days (I don't remember why). The 2nd or 3rd night back in our house I woke up to the sound of water... Apparently one of the cats climbed into the bathroom sink, pushed the stopper down with her fat butt, and somehow turned the water faucet on high.

That incident flooded two bedrooms, the downstairs bathroom, laundry room, and wrecked a bunch of drywall. Ended up costing us about $1k and 3 days with industrial heaters on downstairs.

I guess the cats didn't appreciate their accommodations.
