Been so busy with a lot of things that I forgot to write the end of the car battery saga. It took us four days to get a new battery and put it in the car. One of those days was spent going and buying the new battery, which we got a smokin' deal on because they gave us the purchase price of the old battery and pro-rated the old cell and removed the ( Read more... )

In the beginning, there was a motorcycle. The Husband drove the motorcycle to work because the weather was nice. His car sat in the driveway being driven only on weekends, blustery and/or rainy days and whenever He had to pick up groceries (since I hardly go food shopping because he does the cooking).

It is this adventure in conjunction with past adventures that makes me say car dealerships suck ass when it comes to car repairs ( Read more... )

I'd have to say this last weekend was too short. I just felt as if I didn't get anything done.

Sure, I wrapped up a few unfinished projects that had been laying around the house-- I painted the wood in Jordan's shadow box and finally put the "world map" Jen (adelrya) gave me in the frame I bought about 8-months ago. I also got to do some scrapbooking... ( Read more... )

I don't know why post titles sound more interesting when you just list three things. Three things that can have a completely unique story. This story starts out with a backpack ( Read more... )

If you watched the Discovery special on Telescopes this weekend (which we didn't hear about 'till Sunday after they'd already played), you might have seen my husband on television. Several months ago, Discovery came to his work and did a bit of filming. Jordan works at the University of Arizona Mirror Lab as a technician building the giant ( Read more... )
