Laundering Question
Okay, my son is a total boy. He plays outside the better part of the day, and by "play" that means rolling down hills, rolling in mulch at the park, playing in sandboxes, falling down 573 times, etc.
His clothes are always filthy when he comes inside. I just did a load of laundry from last week when he was outside all day, and a lot of the stains ( Read more... ) -
Thumbs Up
Big thumbs up for 1-800-GOT-JUNK.
We had a big ol' pile of brush behind our shed. One of Tim's many "projects" that he starts, but doesn't quite look at the FULL project of before he starts. He cut down a bunch of bushes/trees and then just piled them on up behind the shed and saying "Hmm, we really need to get rid of that stuff now". So, we ( Read more... ) -
Murphy's Law.
I am so beyond annoyed right now. We have had problems with our phone for the past 3 weeks. We have a dial tone, then we don't have a dial tone, repeat repeat repeat. We can go a whole day with the phone working and a whole day without. I've been in circle calling hell with the Verizon reps. Press 1, press 2.. say this, say that... is that ( Read more... ) -
Will this work?
Tomorrow night Tim and I are going out (HOORAY!).. we are actually going into Boston with 3 other couples. Dinner in the North End and then we have tickets to the Improv Asylum. I can't even tell you how long it's been, if you don't count rehearsal dinners and weddings!
ANYWHO. So, I was going to make up a pizza for my mother to eat with Connor ( Read more... ) -
Plumber Recs?
Has anyone in the Boston (well I guess we are "metro north" now) area recently used a plumber they found efficient and priced competitevly?
Our gas heater in the basement is not working and we really don't want to have that gas stove down here anyways as it's a playroom and too tempting for Connor to touch. So, we need some estimates on installing ( Read more... ) -
I need ideas.
So, I really want to give our realtor a "thank you" for everything type of gift. I'm thinking maybe some sort of a gift card, but I have no idea to where! In one sense, I think a nice restaraunt that he can take his wife to, considering all the nights he was showing us houses and not with her... or, do I give him something just for him? Tim had ( Read more... ) -
Good Book
The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.
I'm only halfway through it, but I can't put it down. Just thought I would bring it up if anyone is looking for something to read! I actually was excited to go to the gym yesterday morning because I knew I could have 30 uninterrupted minutes on a stationary bike to read it. Thank god for the Y ( Read more... ) -
PITA
So, I just received something from our mortgage co., a disclosure statement from paying off our loan when we sold the condo. Of course the thing that caught my eye was the "ESC REFUND" of $785. Now, believe me- I would certainly know if I got that refund, and we did not ( Read more... ) -
Am I shocked by this one?
"After six years of marriage, TMZ has confirmed that Kate Hudson and her husband, The Black Crowes' lead singer Chris Robinson are splitting."
I don't know. She was really pretty young when she got married, but I'm still sort of shocked... why anything in Hollywood would shock me, I don't know. And why I care and follow it all, well- who knows.
