This is not the color we want for the bedroom.
If this were the color we wanted, we would have done a second coat of paint, cleaned up all the tarps and masking tape, put the furniture back, and posted lovely before-and-after pictures.
Instead, we did a test patch of this color on the wall, and loved [...]

You’ve really got to wonder about mailing lists sometimes. M got a postcard in the mail today making him special offers on oceanfront properties.
1) The properties are slightly over 600 miles from here.
2) M’s income is currently $10/week.
3) M won’t be old enough to legally buy property for another 7 years.

Today M was talking on the phone with a buddy from camp. He was spelling out some complicated alphanumeric code that his buddy needed to enter on a Pokemon site. “N, no, not M, N as in Note” he emphasized, when his friend was having trouble hearing it clearly.
That’s interesting, I thought. [...]

S here again. M and I had a discussion this morning about how he will explain to his best friend, the girl across the street, that E is moving in. His buddy will be away from now until after the move-in actually happens, so regardless of what approach we use, she’ll find out [...]

It’s been a tough weekend to be painting; it was 93 degrees and incredibly humid. But we’re starting to feel quite a time crunch to get things done before E moves in. So although this post doesn’t come with more before-and-after pictures, you can just picture the last couple of walls in the living [...]

S here, with stories and pictures from the vacation that M and I took last week. (Poor E couldn’t go; this is her busiest time of year at work.)
Day 1 we headed up to the Lincoln/Franconia Notch area of NH, in the White Mountains. Our first stop was at Lost River, which is [...]

S here. I don’t know which is more disgusting: that I just found a mushroom growing in the corner of the pantry next to the bathroom. Or that a spider has decided to build a web over it and live there.
No, I’m not going to take a photo. I doubt other [...]

This past weekend’s adventure was painting the living room. We wanted a lighter version of the Mango Tango that we had used for the accent wall in the kitchen. So we bought paint that was 4 shades lighter on the same paint chip. It took only a couple strokes of the brush [...]
