An end in sight?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

When we built the first house, we moved in very prematurely. We spent three years living there without any painted trim and a master bathroom that wasn’t finished until the day we put the house on the market.
When we started construction on our new house we vowed to not move into it until it [...]

Something I don’t want to pass on to my kid

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

I admit that I have food issues. Issues that, I’m afraid, might rule my life if I let them. My issues go something like this: I see a bag of Baked Lays, I want to eat entire bag of Baked Lays. I see a soda, I want to drink said soda.
