Phew! Even though I’ve been on vacation for a week, I don’t think I’ve been so busy in a long time! The cause? Liz crafted an elaborate “honey do” list to help me pass the time. Since last Friday, I’ve vacuumed, scrubbed, buffed, shined, mopped, painted, repaired, mailed, and picked up […]

Someone check the weather forecast for Hell, because we’ve had two gloriously sunny days in a row here in Cleveland, with temperatures in the low-to-mid-50’s. That by itself is absolutely delightful, but what’s really astounding is that it was this nice on a weekend. The universe just isn’t supposed to work like this!
After […]

Maybe it’s because all of my stuff for both huge and mind-bogglingly irritating projects is all done and working. Perhaps it’s because the sky is nearly the same shade of grey as the walls of my cube. It could be that today is simply Monday, and that I’d rather it weren’t. But […]

Had a nice, relaxing, mellow bit of a weekend. It’s been cool, grey, and drizzly, which has really made the fall colors nice.
Friday, our new Pella windows were installed (no pictures yet, been too lazy). I need to sand, prime, and paint them, which will be more work than either of us wanted, […]

Breakin’ down the good stuff, old-school list-style for your reading enjoyment:

It’s the weekend, yay!!
Liz is doing a LOT better, yay!!
The painters showed up and put our new shutters on the house, yay!!
Electrician dude fixed the one GFI outlet that was giving me troubles and replaced the one in the half bath for me, yay!!
We’re packed […]

Yesterday we put two coats of paint onto the walls in our bedroom. It looks pretty good so far, though it was a long and tiring day. We’ll finish up today with the trim and chair rail.
We managed to pick out new carpet for the bedroom with a minimum of fuss and rather […]

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here, and I figure it might be nice to just talk about some of the good things that have happened lately instead of carping about the state of the world, my misadventures with strep throat, and so forth. So, without further ado, here are some recent things […]

We are done painting for this weekend! Yay!
Don’t we look happy?

Mood:accomplished

We put on the first coat of “Juneberry” this morning. It goes on looking pretty hideous, but now that it’s starting to dry it’s quite a bit better. I expect we’ll do a second coat this afternoon or this evening.
Even more pictures than before
