This weekend I pulled another two green-barrel loads of weeds, bringing the total for the month up to four. The remaining weeds are very tiny or grasses and clovers where it's hard to get their roots, they are also in open areas where no plants will be going. I've sprayed the back yard for those and still need to do the front. -
Creativity and me
I am not a creative person. A number of people insist to me that I am and will even cite turning my room into a cave as an example, but they fail to persuade me ( Read more... ) -
Long time no house update
The refrigerator is installed now. That's the major kitchen change. We're still waiting for drawer pulls to arrive and for the downdraft to be installed. We also need to order glass for the cabinet door inserts. We're slowly moving everything back into the kitchen.
In the bathroom we have counter tops installed and the sink as well. We're waiting ( Read more... ) -

This leads me to think that we are selecting for humor ( Read more... ) -

Joel and charmed_quark brought chocolate mousse made with 72% cocoa. Rich and addictive, ( Read more... ) -
Bathroom ventillation... finally!
Today I decided I was up to tackling the bathroom fan in Dar's bathroom again. The old fan didn't really move much air and it turned out it just blew the air it did move into the attic. I was going to run the vent line through the roof, but then when the contractor did the one in the master bathroom he recommended against that since it's no fun ( Read more... ) -
Slither
I saw the trailer for Slither and I knew I had to see it. Now that I've seen the movie, I know I made the right choice. Slither is from the writer and director of Tromeo and Juliet, but that's not important I just like mentioning that movie. Anyway, it's a good, fun, gross, movie with a few good jump-scares. Check it out, even if you have to wait ( Read more... ) -
A Dirty Job
I just finished reading the latest Christopher Moore book, A Dirty Job. Like all of his books I've read, it made me laugh out loud. Get it, read it, laugh, be happy. -

I didn't write anything yesterday. I'm not going to write anything today since I have to go to work and clean up the house. Tomorrow.... really! Yay for chocolate and those who gave it to me!
