Okay so it was a long day working today on the house. And after we were all done we went to my mom’s house to chow down on some Thai food and watch some travel channel. Bill flipped it to a program about the Colorado river (to which I constantly yelled at the TV, lies, …

For better or worse
That’s the way it is. See things around here haven’t been that spectacular (and by around here, I mean around the cottage), but I’ve not really mentioned that my brother bought a place a mere four blocks away. That’s right, four blocks. And it currently looks like this:My super cute bedroom. Bj actually spent one …
Another Baby!

The Optimist
Even though I might be going slightly crazy:Yeah, 2,812.40 dollars later. You do realize I only had one side done right? Now I really want to roll the side yard flat and put gravel and flowers and trees in planters there, but it will have to wait. Even Franklin looks pissed. I told the fence …
Shit hits the fan
I wish I could say I have better news, but unfortunately that is NOT the case. Yesterday when I was down in the basement obsessing over all the cracks in the floor I noticed that one of the beams under the stairs had newer looking termite damage. I called my mom down to look at …
