I really want this magazine. I need another magazine subscription like I need another hole in my head, but I want it. I wasn’t online much at all yesterday, or indeed all weekend. I am letting go of the feeling…
Katie, Camera, & Waya
So we get home, get Katie’s stuff out of the car, Shelley sniffs her all over disapprovingly and sheds on her briefly—and she wants to go outside to reconnect with her friends. Yep, that was her first desire after a…
Want a File Cabinet?
We have a huge (well, it seems that way) metal three-drawer lateral file cabinet. It has a lock, but I’ve never had a key for it. I think it’s Steelcase, which means it’s really solid. I’ve asked one friend if…
Word Rant, Bedroom Stuff, and Phone Jacks
Interesting puzzles: http://www.blindchicken.com/~ali/games/puzzles.html The enormous, baroque bedroom furniture is gone! Well, the two mirrors and one lamp wouldn’t fit in the truck or wordcandlemage‘s car, but there’s none of it in our bedroom anymore. And the two oak chests of…
Kitchen Counters
The counters in our new apartment get stained if anything sits on them for an hour or so! Saturday night we had fresh strawberries for dessert, and I didn’t clean up the bowl immediately because we had guests over for…

Quiet Time
It’s quiet now. Shelley and I are the only ones here, and the neighborhood kids aren’t outside playing yet. I’m sitting here looking out my window at the tree growing just off our porch. I love that tree. It is…
GSD Day
So today is a “gettin’ shit done” day around here. We’ll be rewarded by having curiousmay9, wordcandlemage and “hasn’t succumbed to the LJ cult yet” J joining us at 4 for food and gaming. We’re keeping at least two of…
Homecaring Book
So apparently a book about homecaring (thank you !) for the rest of us might be useful. What would you want to see in such a book? What would make you buy it? What kinds of questions/concerns do you have…
Yes, I’ve Probably Gone Right Over the Edge
I’m reading Sink Reflections, the book by Marla Cilley (aka FlyLady). A friend loaned me her copy. There’s some interesting stuff in there, but for me, getting to it requires pushing past the anti-feminist slant and Christian stuff. I’m annoyed…
