Why do we have a reverse-911 system, if the county won’t use it to tell us things like, “Hey, we had a water main break and you need to boil your water before using it.” We’ve had so many water main breaks in the last year that I’m glad we don’t drink tap water, anyway (even […]
Lawn Sanity!
I detest grass. I’m so allergic that I consider the stuff a personal attack. Beyond that, I’ve always considered all the money and energy that is put into inedible crops that aren’t even pretty to be a disgusting form of conspicuous consumption. I cheered out loud when I read this article: The Incredible, Edible Front Lawn […]
Readings & Socializing
Note: This entry went in a totally different direction than where I thought I was headed! It got very long and wandered around a lot. I got into something that’s really been eating at me for a long time, though, and I’d really appreciate some feedback. I should have my microphone taken away. I recorded […]
Memitude: Who am I?
From and : You know how sometimes people on your friend’s list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think “Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???” And then you wonder how you could have missed all that […]
Too Hot!
It’s 90 degrees F outside now. It was 103 earlier. We’re still in the first week of June. I have no idea what the “effective temperature” (or whatever they call it) is when the humidity is factored in. Even with monthly filter changes and window units in both bedrooms, the air conditioner just can’t keep up. Unfortunately, […]
And That’s the Week
I consider Sunday the first day of the week rather than the last. It was a week full of appointments for the girl and getting paperwork shuffled to various bureaucracies. Sam and I had lovely dates Wednesday and tonight, although we were so exhausted Wednesday that we turned in much earlier than usual.
Sam and Saturday
Yes, it was another date night. Yay! (They are the highlights of my week, with good reason.) The girl went out on a date, so we had the house to ourselves. It still feels odd, at times, not to have any kids around, and not to even be worried about picking them up. We like […]
We have Hope!
And we have her all weekend! Squee!
Which Day?
It feels like two, really. And Date Night was spent sorta gaming but mostly cleaning, which was a bit of a cheat. We both agreed to it, but it still is! We slaved like good little middle-Americans all day and evening, cleaning and decluttering and otherwise getting things done before Hope arrives! We’re so excited! (And […]
Bookcase Bedroom!
New tiles for the Uroko house Originally uploaded by akamé I suppose it could be called a Bookcase Tree, because of its basic design. It wouldn’t be the best choice of design for sleeping quarters for a claustrophobe like me, and procrastinators would find it even harder to quit reading and go to sleep. I would […]
