A BASEMENT BEFORE TO MAKE YOU CRINGE

I’ve alluded to changes and projects quite a bit here so it’s well past time I fill you in on exactly what’s happening. Mr. Much More Patient is starting his own business and needs an office here. So, we’re making an office. We already have a den/office type of room, but we both very much […]

CHRISTMAS OVER, ONTO WHAT’S NEXT

All the presents have been opened. Most of the cookies have been eaten (the ones that remain seem to have an extra dose of guilt with them). Christmas is a wrap, but it was a darn good one. Yep. Ate all those cookies. And a whole bunch of others too. I had the day after […]

A little of this, a bit of that

This week I find myself in one of those places where I have a lot of things have finished but nothing really to show for it. And that’s how you end up with blog post about everything and nothing at the same time. My parents are currently soaking up a bit of sunshine in Florida […]
