I'm used to fixing computers or doing minor repairs around the house when it comes to being handy. Owning a motorcycle and having a limited budget, I've delved more into mechanics than ever before in the last couple of years. I'd much rather fix my car or bike myself rather than take it to a shop and feel my wallet get lighter ( Read more... )

Winsome's crawling a little, and is pulling herself up to a standing position using anything availble on a regular basis. I wonder if she's gonna forgo crawling as a means for locomotion and stick to rolling and granny walking until she's steady on her feet. She's getting her 3rd tooth, up top, front and center too. I need to get her a T-shirt ( Read more... )

Winnie has her first ear infection. Seems the antibiotics she got already have her feeling better. She's a bit tired due to the sleep she missed from being so uncomfortable yesterday/last night, but otherwise she's her laughing, smiling self again.

Usually my solo rides are pretty uneventful. Yesterday was the exception. I had plenty to blab about at work today ( Read more... )

I hate colds, but I'm glad to have this one. I might ache all over from coughing, and be sneezing all the time, but it could be worse. See, it started with a sore throat on Thursday. Each time I've had a sore throat in the last few years, I've ended up having Strep. I'll take this over Strep ANY day ( Read more... )

Here's my update. Plan on reading something more thoughtful this weekend when I have nag-free-time and a full stomach. We've been scrounging in the cupboards for something decent to eat each night for about a week, let alone making a complete meal. Can't say my budget has been this tight in quite some time. Payday is Thursday, and a third of it ( Read more... )

According to experts, my personality type is :

This color scheme needs to die. Reminds me of Winsome's first diaper (which I changed, my first, evar).
