I was on my way to an electrics job, when I was already halfway out from home and realized I'd forgotten my wrench. Since I was driving past my mom's house, I just stopped by in there to see what I could find in her toolbox (an adjustable c-wrench shouldn't be too hard to find). Instead of a normal c-wrench, I found this little 4" "stubby" wrench ( Read more... )

So, have to be in Baltimore by 8:30am. Woke up at 5, said to myself "have to be out the door by 6". I'm never out the door on time, so I figure padding is good. I walk out the door at 6:02, open the garage, and finally do the math.An hour and a half before 8:30 is not 6. How did this math work out? Oy. I coulda slept an extra hour. Oh well, I'm up

I was sitting at my computer here, doing my taxes, when my cat went all George-Bush-in-Japan all over my bed. And I mean aaaaaall over. So I put the comforter into the washer (which fortunately enough lives in my room), discover the sheets are wet so those go in too (that's fine, they were about due to be changed anyways), and then notice a tiny ( Read more... )

Apologies for the total lack of updates plus sudden disappearance. We finally found a place and, as of Sunday, are moved in. I got most of my stuff moved over Monday and have been sleeping there since Sunday night. Lilit has moved over with me. She's doing pretty well so far, if a bit freaked out. I'll try to get photos soon, but it won't make too ( Read more... )

So we got the house. Ben is gonna be meeting with the landlord this week to discuss move in date and give him our security deposit. I will be out of my parents' houses before the end of the month!

My best friend is getting married tonight. I was there for their first date in high school. They've been together practically forever it seems. It feels so weird. Things are going to change, but they'll still be the same... but it means we're all growing up now, reaching that point... Erin & Frank are next, this summer. Billy's married, Becca's ( Read more... )

It's amazing how much life changes in a year, it really is. In a few short months, even. I was talking to Lei last night and she mentioned that she hadn't seen me in forever -- it's been about two months or so, but both our lives have just completely turned upside down and back again and sooo much has changed. But the thing that really made me stop ( Read more... )

Either I'm too nice or I'm too money-hungry. I'm not sure which. See, there was an appointment today at work at 11 and one at 12. 11 shows up, no problem. Around 11:30ish, the 12 o'clock calls and says she's running at least an hour late and will it be ok to come in then. Fool that I am, I tell her sure, when I could've rescheduled just fine. See, ( Read more... )

I am so beyond ready to move out that there are no words.
