Hi. We own our home. We’ve lived here 2 1/2 years, and love it, SO STOP SENDING YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS TO MR & MRS BRADLEY. I’m sure they were nice people and all, but they haven’t lived here for several years, and you obviously aren’t close enough with them to have gotten their new address.

Dirty Duty

This morning I knew exactly what had happened before Christa even said anything. There was a gasp, a plop, and a scream to alert me that Christa’s engagement ring had ended up in the toilet. Too much information? Don’t worry, I fashioned a hook out of a coat hanger while Christa kept watch on the [...]

Most of you probably won’t care, but yesterday the planets were in alignment & all the laws of quantum physics were broken; I managed to change the oil & degunk the lawn mower carburetor to get it started after winter storage… IN ONE PULL! Any of you who know me know I one of the [...]

Dying Easter Daffodils

I never thought of myself as the must-have-a-nice-yard type, but this blast of winter after the 2 weeks of warm weather is devastating the flowers that came up already in the flowerbeds out front of the house… Have a great Easter!

IKEA Trip Part 1: We finally finish off our “reading room”
March 5th, 2007 · No Comments · life, owning a home
Sunday I was feeling like I needed to accomplish something constructive around the house, so I convinced Christa we should goto Ikea. Really it was the mere mention of Ikea and she said yes, but in my mind I was the one who did the convincing… We had a few items picked out that we [...]

Pantry Project

Pump It Up!
December 11th, 2006 · 1 Comment · owning a home
This weekend I tackled a project around the house which I’ve been meaning to do since we moved in, because despite living near 8 Mile we both didn’t like our ghetto humidifier drain we had in the basement (ie. a bucket). I finally worked up the courage to install a pump and about 30 feet [...]
