Do to my absolute spaciness, there will be no tea this weekend as I completely forgot that I had already promised to be elsewhere on Sunday (Sassy doesn’t have any availability on Saturday). We’ll have to figure out a time to reschedule.
In better news, the final box of my china cabinet came today I and [...]

Crack repair done. The system for dispensing the polyurethane foam was STUPID, and hence there is polyurethane foam everywhere. So, I’m off for a shower, after which I will take my book on WWII spies and my favorite blanket from my grandma’s out to the hammock and read while listening to my new(ish) music downloads [...]

Sarah pointed out that I probably need a china hutch or curio cabinet for all my new China. I need one that is not very big and not very expensive. I have money saved, but I am likely to need it in the next year for my mortgage payments (blech). Any ideas for pieces of [...]

So Sarah and my mom came and helped me decorate my room. My mom is going to get me dowels for one more wall hanging, and maybe some caps for them too. And then my room will be done. I need to think about how I’m going to group things and there’s a couple of [...]

I want to buy a hammock so I can enjoy my porch before the summer is over. I’m looking at this one: www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?page=proframe&prod_id=744682
or else one of these: www.exotichammocks.com/html/shop.php3/productID=7
any advice–either on types or places to buy? I’ve already got hooks from a previous hammock or something already in the rafters of the porch.

So, the stuff from my grandma’s should be delivered tomorrow. Funnily enough, they called to schedule delivery while I was hunting down the phone number to call.
So, I’m working all weekend, and I was wondering if anybody who wants to help has time this Friday evening. Otherwise, it’ll have to wait until the weekend [...]

From my Grandma’s stuff, I brought home 2 suitcases full of stuff. I also had shipped 6 boxes and three pieces of furniture–including some paintings and some maps. Admittedly, 2 of the boxes are *A* lamp (yes, I know there are lamp boxes. We discovered them after we finished packing all of my Grandma’s lamps)
So, [...]

Now that we have lawn bags and service to pick up lawn stuff, I finally got the weeds off the parking spots. And put the dirt and leaves from last fall into the compost. I also found another volunteer holly starting.
I dismembered it. *evil grin*
I was thinking since we don’t have enough volunteer soldiers for [...]

So, we’ve been planning to fix this crack in our foundation for ages. We’ve been looking for the part of the crack on the inside of the basement wall for ages. I’d given up and thought there wasn’t one. Well I found it today. It’s about 2 feet west of where we had been looking. [...]

We’re patching the crack in our foundation today. Also, I installed this shower head:
which has a pause button so that when you’re soaping up you can reduce the water to a trickle. I was looking for something to attach to my existing showerhead, but I couldn’t find it, so I got this instead.
So here’s [...]

I want a hat that looks like this:
It’s Lapp/Sami and I can find no traditional patterns for Sami clothing, much less for this hat. If anyone can help me find it, I’ll be greatly appreciative.

Today, Jordan tilled and seeded the whole backyard (well the whole half that we’re working on). I felt guilty for not helping, but Jordan was ok with it because I worked last night and was uber-tired.
Also, last night I did a major cleaning on the kitchen. On my inaugural visit to the Cap Hill [...]

My mom has a rototiller. She says it’s little and slow, but hey, it’ll fit in my car. Now it just has to stop raining again. And our lawn seed came in the mail. I am so excited by such bizarre things, nowadays
Thanks, for the offer, but the commercial rototillers need a [...]

There is a place 4 blocks from us that rents rototillers. We need a truck to rent it. We ask them, “can’t we just roll it to our house?” They reply, “No, it only moves when it’s running.” (I suspect they may be lying, as how do they move it around in the store, [...]

We have decided that we’re going to do half of the back yard, and then, once it’s finished, do the other half. I have spent approximately a gazillion and five dollars at the hardware store in the last few days.
So, saturday my dad helped us stain all the railings in the front and the [...]
