Downhill Fast

This week's episode kicks off with a major update to the bathroom remodel. Dry wall happened, and painting was completed. Finally the tile was able to go in. It took all four roommates, but the house is days away from getting a second toilet. Tamara had a fun time hunting a fly with Diego. John has taken up some cat like tendencies and now likes napping in the sun on the pool table. Tamara had an adventure of hot tubbing in a hotel. The water quality was a little questionable and it was defiantly way too hot. Rheannon made a delicious dinner this week. Tamara learned to trust Rheannon on her recommendation of sour cream. This week Tamara and Rheannon have been bumping into each other in the middle of the night going and coming from the bathroom. Tamara mentioned part of her sleep machine mask had broken, and Rheannon was all ready to get her tools and help Tamara fix it. Rheannon was very kind to offer to help knowing Tamara can't sleep without it. Tamara had a heart attack when she was walking outside at night and stumbled upon what she thought was field of snakes. Rheannon had a lot of questions, and isn't sure she believes Tamara. Next time Rheannon wants to get photo proof. Much like this episode it went downhill fast. 

This week kicks off with Rheannon plotting what Tamara's projects will be since she missed out on bathroom remodel this weekend. Rheannon was also worried that Tamara hasn't been working out. She has been working out, but not wearing her watch. Tamara for the first time in a very long time was able to go for a swim and a hot tub.  There is some confusion on who should be blamed for roommates getting sick. John has come up with a new level of bad dog behavior. He was found sleeping on the pool table. Tamara is still confused as to why he would think that is a good idea.  While visiting home Tamara is not afraid to capitalize on how cute her nephew is, and is not afraid to talk to Grandma about cookies around the toddler since he is harder to say no to. Light spoilers for the Death on the Nile movie. Tamara and Rheannon share what they liked and didn't like about the movie. After watching Where'd You Go, Bernadette, Tamara highly recommends it. Chickens are back laying eggs. Even more exciting Rheannon is planning on getting a couple more chickens. John tried to join the podcast to ask for dinner. He knew it was exactly 6:00 pm and did not wait to wait. Let's just say that John would not be comforted and much like this episode it went downhill fast. 

This week's episode kicks off with Tamara being late running on Tam time. Although she is happy to be dog sitting a pup that lets her sleep to 8:00 am. Rheannon had an amazing weekend filled with yard work and being productive around the house. There were some struggles in Rheannon's household trying to get all the animals to get along at night. Tamara has her world rocked when she learned that people would pee in a wetsuit to warm it up. Rheannon is convinced that everyone pees in a wetsuit. Tamara tried to phone a friend, and was very sad their buddy didn't answer. Rheannon is very confused that Tamara has never thought about peeing in a wetsuit. Let's just say that Tamara's world is rocked and this episode goes downhill fast. 

Fishing adventures happened. Tamara was cold all day. She was promised gloves and that didn't happen. It wouldn't have solved everything, but it would have helped. Rheannon was the only person who successfully caught a fish. Everyone had fun fishing, and lots of people almost caught a fish. Tamara was not one of those people. The things people said fishing had Tamara giggling all day.  Tamara is really upset that Diego is sleeping on top of the stove. She is not convinced that he won't hurt himself. There is an upcoming adventure that Tamara is really excited about. It is a group activity and Tamara and Rheannon are still trying to con a buddy into going with them.  It is a sound therapy. Rheannon thinks she will enjoy it, and Tamara thinks she will get bored. Rheannon is making the slow realization that maybe her favorite genre of movie is a romantic comedy. Although when you quiz her on the plot it is surprising what she remembers. Let's just say that it goes downhill fast. 

This week's episode kicks off with Tamara and Rheannon catching up on their weekends. Tamara stayed home for a relaxing movie weekend and went out to a relaxing lunch. Rheannon went for a family ski weekend. Rheannon did not have a very restful weekend. The last ski weekend of the season also brought some crazy wind. Everyone tried to make the most of the bad weather and Rheannon wanted to reward her nieces and nephew their hard work with some froyo. Her mistake though was trying to take four kids to pick out their own ice cream with only two adults supervising. It was a zone defense that never had a chance at working. Tamara dropped the ball shopping, but she still doesn't feel like it is all her fault. Things were accidentally left off the list and Rheannon was really sad that her raisins didn't make it home. Mistakes were made and it went downhill fast. 

This week's episode kicks off learning about how the baking challenge went. The obstacles mounted after a few failed trips to the store. Starting the cake bake with gluten free pancake mix wasn't  ideal, but no one was willing to go back to the store. Emotions were high for the bake and Tamara did not thrive in that team building exercise. Weirdly it was easier to team build with the children and work together to frost a cake. Lots of pool and foosball played, and the winner of the foosball was the five year old niece. Rheannon's birthday also included some mudding and drywall work. Tamara learned a lot about mixing the perfect mud. Tamara has been struggling getting her workouts in. After getting four walks in none of the workouts met the heart rate requirement. John joined us at the end of the podcast, but maybe didn't appreciate us airing all of his bad behavior. Things also got exciting this weekend when the microwave tried to catch itself on fire.  Also, one of the cats brought in a mouse and then let it go in the living room. Let's just say it went downhill fast. 

This week's episode kicks off with an update of the remodel work that has not started just yet.  A lot of movies watched this week. Kicking things off with a review of Spencer.  No one should be surprised that Tamara liked it more than Rheannon. Things got interesting this week with a trip to the movie theater to see Scream 5. An empty movie theater with reclining seats was a good time. Rheannon was happy to see the fifth movie in a series having seen none of the other movies. There of course is a bit of a disagreement about the rating scale about the movies, but mostly Tamara and Rheannon just like different things in a movie. Successful grocery store trip. Tamara had to juggle things carrying in the last load, but in the end no soda was dropped in the endeavor. Rheannon pulled off a bit of a surprise remodel on what Tamara thought was going to be a relaxing Sunday. Let's just say it goes downhill fast. 

This episode kicks off with the question of if we were recording. New recording gear means a need for tech support. Rheannon was not loving her drink, perhaps partially because Tamara refused to go to the store. Tamara did her best to fix the problem by fetching grenadine. Turns out Tamara really only likes to go to the store when it is her idea. Thankful for the TV recommendations from folks, and there are a couple of good options. Rheannon had a horrible migraine and to make it worse she found herself at an indoor water park with a migraine. Tamara had a great visit home. Great visit with family and friends. She did get to go on a adventure with one of her roomies. Took a pup to get a bath, and since he was such a good boy he got to pick out his own toy. Tamara's weekend was also productive when she helped her parents switch out a light fixture at their house. Her brother maybe did a lot of the grunt work with the actual electrical work. Rheannon's birthday is coming up, and she has very specific plans for the type of cake she wants. Tamara is immediately all bought in on this team builder from hell of three roommates trying to bake Rheannon a gluten free multi tiered layered cake. Tamara is trying to set a calendar and figure out shopping, supplies, and other obstacles. 

This episode kicks off with an update on the remodel work. One step closer to using the heated floors, and Rheannon really wants the pellet stove to know their days are numbered. Tamara had a great time working on remodel stuff with Rheannon and her buddy. Tamara thrived having a buddy to talk to and was able to work with supervision. The dry wall lift worked and managed to not crush anyone. Tamara wants to try cross country skiing, and even though Rheannon thinks she will hate it she is still willing to go along. There has been some feedback on our numbering system, but Rheannon is unapologetic in there only being 32 episodes in a season.  There is a question on what tv shows or movies all the roommates can agree on watching. Rheannon has her shows that she likes, which tends to be a documentaries. Tamara on the other hand is ok with a scripted show. There is the crossover though of everyone enjoying a good murder mystery. Even if they don't agree on shows this episode goes downhill fast. 

This week's episode kicks off with Tamara's adventures in Vegas. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. In this case it is what Tamara saw in Vegas will stick with her forever. Although it did confirm that Tamara when face with a confrontation will freeze.  Rheannon in the meantime went skiing with her family and now is up to teaching three nieces and a nephew how to ski. After bunny hill crossfit with a giant toddler Rheannon was relieved he finally learned to put all hist weight on his ski's. The amazing nick names continued with Reck it Ralph and Smooth Criminal joining the ranks of Speed Demon and Danger Noodle. While in Vegas Tamara took time on Sunday to relax and enjoy a spa trip. For the first time ever she got a seaweed wrap. It was a unique yet enjoyable experience. Although for anyone claustrophobic it would probably go downhill fast.
