1. I cut some bangs for myself about two weeks ago and no one stopped me so I’m pretty much mad at the world. Bangs are never a good idea for me. I always think that bangs will be wonderful and for about a week and a half they look really good, but I am [...]

The projects we have are endless, but I am determined to not start anything before we finish what we’ve already got going on. Almost everything involves painting in some capacity, and not the fun painting. We have to paint the trim in the guest room, and finish painting some areas of the office, including the [...]

When we moved into our house we bought a washer and dryer from Jason’s coworker for $200. The spin cycle didn’t work on the washer but hey. It was a washer and a dryer for $200. We made due. Because we had to. Because we just spent all of our money on a house. About [...]

We built a bed, folks. Specifically, we built this bed. Specificallyer, Jason built the bed and I stood around and constantly asked him if he needed help. He didn’t, and I’m not sure the result would be so great if I had so much as picked up a paintbrush. It started because Garrett and Emily [...]

Hurley stays outside a majority of the day, rain or shine. We used to keep him inside when he was small, but he’s gained a solid twenty pounds since we first got him and now being inside for 8 hours will not do. We tried it once, and he tried to tunnel out of the [...]

We worked on the house a lot at the beginning of last week: we primed, painted, scrubbed, trimmed, dug, moved, and raked many, many things. We worked so hard, in fact, that we hardly took any pictures. I have no photographic evidence of the changes that took place, so you’ll just have to trust me [...]

My goodness gracious, folks. Installing wall tile is hard work. Just ask Jason. He did it all this weekend. We spent last week getting things in order for the Big Tiling Day. We bought the tiles, the grout, the thinset; we borrowed all sorts of tools and thingmajigs from our friends who had redone their [...]

The last time we talked about the bathroom, the walls looked like this: They remained that way as the plumber came to install the tub and when the floors were installed. This weekend, however, the insulation and support beams were finally covered. We have walls, folks. Glorious, blessed walls. Go hug your walls right now [...]

1. There is an online farmer’s market for our area and it’s made me realize that there is such a difference between local corn and supermarket corn. The difference is so marked that I’m thinking that the local farmers are sprinkling their corn with addictive drugs to make me eat lots of it and crave [...]
