We got our Christmas tree today, no thanks to me. I woke up in a real sour mood (no reason), and didn’t really want to get it, but it’s supposed to rain for the rest of the weekend, so it was now or never. We didn’t find anything good at the first place [...]

Thanksgiving was a BLAST!
Rico & Ian made a $124 Wal*Mart run on Monday, filling up a whole pantry shelf (covered in aluminum foil that said “THANKSGIVING — TOUCH AND DIE”) and two fridge shelves.

No more kitty spelunking between the 1st/2nd floor floorboards BECAUSE WE’VE (FINALLY) GOT A KITCHEN CEILING NOW!
A super huge thanks to Andy and Ian. Without Andy’s motivation (”When are we going to do your kitchen, man?”), patience, tools, and knowledge, this project would still be on hold. Andy whittled out the holes that [...]

It’s amazing how the Democratic vote has changed in the last 20 years…
1984
Democrats: 13 electoral votes
Republicans: 525 electoral votes
The “While You Were Out” truck is in town, so someone’s about to get their yard did. (And may I just say how nice it is to to once again have a Jeep hood sans Kevin ass print!)

OK, I resized the pictures in previous blog entries so that IE won’t have a stroke trying to display them AND the damn menu on the right… (yay FireFox)
And of course, here are the links to the kitchen light project. (And no, I wasn’t wearing any antiperspirant, thankyouverymuch!)

Since our last update of “as 749 Quesnel turns…”
Ian moved back in. He barely was able to fit all of his stuff in the (admittedly small) bedroom, but with a little creativity on his part, he’ll be fine. (Ian: lose the big-ass antique dresser!) This house is definately crammed now (4 adults, [...]
