I have been so busy lately that I haven't really stopped to talk about all the stuff I've been doing. It's kind of a mixed bag, that. I mentioned the auditions, so let's go into some of the standard make & bake type things in a quick overview.

I skipped the fourth of July cake this year. The drought shut down all local fireworks, even those over ( Read more... )

It's all quiet on the homefront. So I take 20 minutes to watch the first four Google Sketchup tutorials. And all I can think is... "Do you know how long that took us to learn in Autocad at school ( Read more... )

This is probably going to be earmarked as the most exciting week of our year for the tadpole. Kaylee graduated to yet another new class level. She runs and plays and talks and wears herself out. She has had 3 hour naps at school and still come home ready for bed ( Read more... )

It's been about a week. I should have updated on all the goings on, but we still don't have internet at the new house. B is working on that. Here's a quick day by day blow:

Our house hits the market on 01/14/10. Papers are signed. Our house gets built by... May-ish ( Read more... )

Phase I, complete. That is, we signed the contract to buy a home if we can sell ours. So, IF everything falls into place, we'll be moving for the Kipper's first birthday. That means it's highly unlikely that she will be getting that three-layer banana fosters replica of the Goddard school I was contemplating for the event ( Read more... )

As if I couldn't tell from the rampant winter growth, my Spearmint (along with all other mints) is a weed. I should have planted it within a restraining bottomless planter, but I did not know that at the time. I've pulled up some of the runners as cuttings for a planter on the front porch. If they die, I'll just have dried mint leaves for most ( Read more... )
