We're cleaning out and renovating the basement apartment at our house, right? All the stuff down there has to fit upstairs. To help this happen, I am doing another round of purging, and this time, I'm cutting deep. Three tube tops (turquoise, black and peach) held from high school - bye... Various tank tops that are too small even if I lose that ( Read more... )

Saw a nifty chart of the same sex marriage debate on Facebook, and thought here was a better place to muse about one aspect ( Read more... )

We're doing more remodeling (downstairs bath and maybe new flooring downstairs), and looking for recommendations. Anyone know:
- A bathroom remodeler (tiler, especially)
- someone who has had cork flooring installed (wondering about durability, online is mixed)

BLEAH. I'm sick - not a painful, stuck in bed, unable to move sick, but more a miserable, tired, runny nose, nauseous, fever sick. Ash is too, but zenhack is not. Ash and I both slept >12 hours last night. The doctor says it's not swine flu. We've cancelled all appts today and tomorrow anyway ( Read more... )

Meep's post has some really good autism spectrum stories (and a cute kid video). I was, especially intrigued with the news that a couple with some autismish traits are likely to have a kid with the traits, but more intensely. That would SO be us. Wired was kind enough to provide an AT quiz: norm is 16, 80% of those diagnosed with autism scored 32 ( Read more... )

Just an update - two weekends ago, I was sick and missed a great bday party. At least I got to hug one of them later... This derailed any elaborate costume plans, though I had pretty much given up a week before that. On Halloween weekend ( Read more... )
