I’m back in the game baby! Finding out I have a severe thyroid problem answered a lot of my health questions and after 4 months of adjusting dosage of the medication, I think I can officially say I’m on the road to feeling better. Things are not quite right yet and I think I have a few months of blood … Read More
Remodeling Lessons. Cut fingernails really short so you don’t bend one all the way back while moving furniture. Learn that dust bunnies are energetic and ambitious in their mating practices. In the future, nip that in the bud. Pat yourself on the back when the comforter on your bed matches your living room furniture (perfectly.) Laugh nervously when people ask … Read More
We must get our house ready to sell. We’re (kinda) starting with adding a half bath off the living room where my closet office now resides. I did all kinds of work last year to get it made into an office and now I have to take it all out! I think we’re really starting in the master bedroom. I’ll … Read More
Phil had a bad day yesterday, I could tell by his voice on the phone. He’d already worked 13 hours, my car broke down (one more thing for him to fix) and to top it off, I left the dog outside and she ripped the siding off the house near the front and the back doors. Let me just say … Read More
Protecting her boy’s shoe. Protecting her new toys.
But first, we interrupt this message with a cute Patches photo: What a bargain hunter I am! Since corn on the cob is to Indiana girls as waves are to surfers, I had to take advantage of the local (okay, it was an hour away. But local to my mom’s house) Farmer’s store. Not farmer’s market, but store. It’s been … Read More
Meet Patches. She’s a mutt and she was free, but she loves Zane. Totally. No one else. She’ll tell me if she has to pee if she can’t find Zane, but Patches is clearly Zane’s puppy. And she’s adorable. Click on this photo to enlarge it and get a good look at those blue eyes!! Look at that brindle in … Read More
We’ve moved back into our house. You didn’t know we had left? See this post. We had a lot of visitors over the weekend. And I hadn’t done anything to the house other than help Phil with the basement. The first half of July 4 was totally enjoyable. The latter half, not so much. “Not so much” is an understatement. … Read More
Not the skulls over the pond that have been deemed fake, but the Mitchell-Hedges skull. The one that is two pieces (movable jaw, just like a real skull) made from one stone. The one that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was inspired by. This thing is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen (and touched.) … Read More
My cousin got married over the weekend and I thought I’d post a few shots. This is my favorite, I think. From left to right:my sister, my mom, my brother, me, Zane and Phil. My brother on the left, my husband on the right. Man that’s sexy. Or not. LOLThe Dranchak clan. Damn. There’s a lot of us.At least that’s … Read More
