Hannah spent Friday through Saturday night with Girl Scout friends and troop leader down in Gwinnett, so Sarah & I went to pick her up yesterday. Apparently, she had been to a little carnival the day before, and she wanted to go back again, and bring her friend BrIBri. So, that is what we did. It was fun. Sarah & I rode only two rides, but they ( Read more... )

Sarah cleaned the garage on Saturday. She worked for hours, and the difference in there is nothing short of remarkable. There is still quite a bit of stuff in there, don't get me wrong, but it is now neatly stacked and organized. She completely cleared one whole side of the garage, so it will now be possible to park a vehicle in it. I tried to ( Read more... )

I'm upset that our house's previous owners left us over $2,000 in unpaid property taxes, AND that our county government was about to put our house on the auction block without even telling us. It is both injury and insult, and it makes me a little sick to my stomach to contemplate it. If not for Sarah's diligent inquiries, we could have lost our ( Read more... )

We bought a 50" plasma tv yesterday. Our old tv had been dying for some time. The picture was flashing constantly, and what you could see was washed out. It had essentially become a huge chunk of frustration ( Read more... )

Last night, I made Marne's jalapeno poppers, with a little help from Sarah & Hannah. I fried sausage and onions together, then combined that with some cream cheese and parmesan cheese, mixing them all up together. Then I split the jalapenos, hollowed them out, and spooned the stuff from the last sentence in there. Finally, I tooth picked the two ( Read more... )

I believe our house was constructed in 2006, which would mean that our AC units are only 4 years old. So, they should be young and healthy, right? Not so. Yesterday marked the second time we’ve had to call our reliable and excellent AC repairman* out to our new house this summer. By the time I got home, it was furnace-like upstairs. We have ( Read more... )

I got the senior citizen discount at Taco Bell today. This day came much sooner that I would have expected ( Read more... )

Just FYI, for any who is a friend of mine in both places, LJ wins by default. I can write up an entry during my breaks and post it to LJ whenever ( Read more... )

Performing for an audience was rather exhilarating! While waiting for my opening scene, I felt very nervous. Looking out into the audience, I estimated a crowd of maybe 50, not bad at all for a Thursday night. While waiting my turn, I kept running through my lines in my mind to make sure I still remembered them, panicking then remembering, ( Read more... )

We have our first performance in front of an audience tonight - if anybody shows up for a Thursday evening performance, that is, lol ( Read more... )
