How are you going to spend your Tax Rebate?

Ok, technically its called Economic Stimulus Payment and for the record I’m totally against the whole principle of these but that doesn’t mean I can’t think of eight bazillion ways to spend it! Here are a few we’re considering: Visio flat screen TV, $749 from Costco.com If you saw the configuration of our bed and […]

Wow, that was quick!

So those of you that have been reading for a while know that I have a hard time making decisions. And that may just be the understatement of the century! But I must say, I’m quite proud of myself because I just ordered cushions for our outdoor seating set. Yes, already!!  I suppose it has […]

Spring is in the Air..Crap, Another Party

The blooming of the Cherry tree in our front yard: and other sundry signs of spring: inspired us in a moment of weakness to declare that we needed to have an “In bloom” house party in the next few weeks. This time frame also coincides with Jeff’s birthday, so it seemed like a good idea […]

The Office Becomes the Office/Guestroom

The changing of the room formerly known as guest room to nursery also necessitates the change of the room formerly known as the office to the office/guestroom. Believe me when I tell you that this room, which could easily be mistaken for a hallway or closet, is NOT of adequate proportions to encompass both these […]

It’s Better than Moving Furniture

Most of you know enough about us by now to know we are not patient people, Jeff even more so than I.  So much so that he frequently complains that this whole pregnancy thing is taking so damn long, can we please just have our baby already? He’s convinced that we have “forever” to get […]

My Luck May Be Changing!

I’ve always had this weird curse. I would live in a place for years bemoaning the fact that there was the lack of a certain store in that location and then move. Without fail, a few weeks later, said stores would pop up as if by magic in my former hometown. Take the east village […]
