SOLD
Our house finally sold. We closed on it yesterday. I don’t have the intestinal fortitude to wheel and deal in real estate. Now I’ll just enjoy our new house and hopefully make enough upgrades (but not too many) to make this house more marketable if/when the time comes to sell. That and keep our fingers crossed that the market doesn't burn us.

Lawnmower Adventures Part 2
So an idea popped into my head about this lawnmower issue I’m having. For those not keeping up, my carburetor (for no good reason) detached itself from the lawnmower.

One of them days
Just fell off.
Like magic or TV.
Bam, no carburetor.
The bracket that mounts the carb to the motor broke at the weld. I tried just slapping the damn thing back together but it wouldn’t run longer than a few seconds. It’s really not worth fixing so lawnmower shopping is in my near future.

Bummin'
Basically I’ve been wasting all my free time at home planting a vegetable garden (pictures to come) and playing Marvel Alliance. Here’s hoping the damn game doesn’t crash 3/4ths of the way through like X-Men Legends 2 did.

A Fish Story
So I had this big, long story planned out about how I caught these minnows in a creek back behind my work. I was proud of myself because utilizing a mop handle, a plastic bag, and a bit of wire, I fashioned a pretty shitty, but yet still effective net. I planned to put these small fishes in the pond behind my house in an effort to control ( Read more... ) -
Food = Evil
Good Idea: Going out to eat on a Friday night… a perfect way to unwind for the weekend.
Bad Idea: Watching "Super Size Me" on DVD and feeling miserable about all the bad for you food you just ate.
Even Worse: The ice cream we bought for dessert on the way home might as well be in the garbage. Nobody is going to eat it now.

I have arrived
I'm famous, or at least my 2 stupid dogs are. It's just a matter of time before the merchandising, celebrity appearances, and everything else turn me into a drunken, drugged out, reality deprived whacko... it's a small price to pay for stardom. Oscar winning performances found below.

I never thought this day would come. I have to make my journal “Friends Only”. I had no idea how far reaching my thoughts here could be to my personal life at home. I’ve been pretty active in some other circles, which has come around and linked me with my journal here. So anyway, comment to be added if you want. If you live near me or are hounding ( Read more... ) -

Today marks the anniversary of the May 3rd flood. I can’t find much info about it, but pre-Katrina, everybody in New Orleans remembered it. 13 inches of rain fell in one day. No hurricanes or tropical storms were associated with the rain. I was almost 3 years old when it happened. My mother found me at the bottom of the staircase playing in the ( Read more... )
