I'm starting this book, "One Year to an Organized Life", and one of the first things it asks you to do is journal about family-of-origin stuff about time management. So I skipped that part, 'cause I do what I want ( Read more... )

Bless me LJ, for I have sinned.
It's been 2 months since my last confession. I mean, post.

Late last night I finished up (mostly - just a few last finishing touches possibly needed) making 70 award plaques for the Seattle Derby Brats. With much help from LJ-less David, dave_over, and K.O. They are not nearly perfect, and yet they rock mightily, verily, ( Read more... )

My chickens are about 11 weeks old now. And one of them sounds like a vuvuzela. This is not good, as in Burien we are not allowed to have roosters ( Read more... )
