Down .6 tonight which puts me just .4 away from 25 lbs. Maddening! I’ve decided my need for sugar is *way* out of control after indulging in KP’s birthday apple pie and ice cream. All I’ve wanted to eat all weekend is sugary garbage. I thought about doing Core again but don’t have a […]

Sly was doing some research and again we ran into a picture I have in the family archives of. The picture is of a woman and I have no idea who she is.
We investigated more closely and decided to find out how much we could learn from one photograph. With the help of […]

Yes it’s been 35 years since 1970 and while we wouldn’t want to relive the glory days of plaid pants and 8-track tapes, it’s good to know something good came out of the 70’s
Me! (and sly too I guess).
Peanut is at the age where birthdays are huge, HUGE and is very excited for me. […]

Its a slow day for local news. A semi flipped over on I-75 today and spilled its load…crackers. If you follow the link, there’s even a picture of the crushed crackers lying in the snow. Exciting stuff. The clean up of the wreck and crackers was expected to take 12 hours. I find it crazy […]

Princess received this house for Christmas. The week after Christmas, the leg broke off the Mommy figure. I glued it back on with Super Glue. In the two months since Christmas, I’ve repaired the figure probably 3-4 more times. I finally called Fisher Price today to see what they would do about it. As always, […]

Down 1 lb tonight at WW. That’s 1 lb more than I expected to lose. I didn’t have high hopes after only lying on the couch all week sneezing. Tonight’s loss takes me to 24 lbs gone.
I think last week’s cold and flu is leaving me with a sinus infection. I’ve got that […]

Another day with more painting. Today we painted the baseboards as an experiment. We knew the fake wood look wasn’t right with the flooring but weren’t quite sure white was the ticket either. The white turned out to be perfect with the floor and wall color. As a bonus we saved ourselves $400 (the cost […]

On the first floor anyway. We are very happy now that it’s all cut in. Some detail work is better than others but all of it is designed to be covered up by the trim or some quarter round. Like I said sly got the painting done.
Went to church and made our […]

Princess and Chief are super smart kids but highly unmotivated. KP admits he is fully responsible for the unmotivated part of their genetics. He knows from his own life experience that he needed incentives to do things that weren’t fun.
At 4 1/2 years old, Princess has no motivation to learn mundane things like ABC’s […]

The downstairs hardwood is all cut in. yay!
Sly painted the living room and is working on the hallway now. There will be some more pics tonight.
Next up on the task list:
Paint the trim white.
Buy some white quarter round.
reinstall trim and quarter round.
stain and polyurethane the thresholds.
install the thresholds.
None of those are […]
