This morning, I woke up like normal, took a shower like normal, and then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth, also like normal. When I walked towards the bathroom door, I stepped in what I thought was a fresh patch of pee, and before I could even chastise Mr. Pickles for ruining my [...]

Published by July 14th, 2009 in flickr, home improvement and listen up!. 23 CommentsOh Ikea… how do I love thee? I could go on forever counting the ways. For me, there is something cathartic about putting together your cute furniture, and a sense of accomplishment that comes along with it that is unlike most other things in this world. HOWEVER (and that is a BIG however), occasionally, you [...]
big fucking circle of dirt
Published by July 6th, 2009 in all about me, friends, home improvement and venting. 5 CommentsSo as I previously mentioned, I got a pool. It is an Intex above-ground, “EASY set” 15′ X 42″ pool.

Published by June 23rd, 2009 in all about me, home improvement, movie musings and shiny stuff. 2 CommentsBasically, Blu Ray has re-invigorated my love of watching movies. I even upgraded Netflix to send us Blu Rays if they are available.
High Definition really is the icing on delicious cake. Now… to stop buying so many of these damn movies!!!
Seriously, though, that’s about all I got. I am STILL finishing up small things [...]
As God as my witness, the bathroom will be done (or as close to as possible) this week. People are coming over on Saturday for James’ birthday, and as such, the bathroom MUST be in working, usable order. So… it will be done!
We are so close, I can taste it. LOADS of pictures and what [...]
I came within an inch of crashing to a complete halt this weekend; this bathroom must be finished soon. If not, it will finish me. While laying the pebble tile in the basin on Saturday, I literally had an emotional breakdown; being a perfectionist, and doing something highly imperfect, is a recipe for disaster. After [...]
another little “snag” in the bathroom renovation
Published by May 8th, 2009 in home improvement and well?. 8 CommentsUPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: I managed to squeeze out enough tile I already had to make the original plan work; I just used one less row. That one inch won’t matter anyhow. Sorry for all the commotion folks… move along now, nothing to see here. Pictures are forthcoming though, so do come back now, ya hear?!
