I’m at work. Last night a tree crushed one of Brett’s many trucks. I’m a bad wife, I suggested he’d be less traumatized if I were hit by a tree. (I’d be more sympathetic if he didn’t have so many trucks.) The storm was awesome. I barely slept at all. I can swallow without pain. […]
For dinner last night I made tuna steaks, and new potatoes and mushrooms in the BBQ wok. I love my BBQ wok. If you don’t have one, get one. They’re amazing. You take any combo of chopped veggies, toss ’em in some marinade (olive oil, salt, and pepper is often more than adequate) and throw […]
I should be doing housework, but I’ve learned something: housework always needs to be done. Always. I have a husband who works construction, a cat, and three dogs. My house is old. I live at the end of a gravel road. In Iowa. There is never a moment when I can say, “My house is […]
Walking through the laundry room, I heard something scratching inside the furnace. Bindu heard it too. We went to investigate. I determined the sound was coming from behind our 50-year-old gas furnace’s removable panel. I put my hand on the handle, and Bindu stationed herself at my feet to catch whatever might fall out and […]
So the new server I told you about, with the missing modules? The one goblinbox was migrating to? Well, that’s cancelled. The ISP had failed to install something, and wiped the entire box in the process of fixing the problem. This so enraged Keef and Liz – they’d each already moved all their clients – […]
Here’s the Mushlette sitting at her desk, eating her lunch. No, apparently she did not brush her hair at all. (I think hairbrushing is highly overrated, and I blow it off on a regular basis.) Click to enlarge image On the wall is a hand-drawn poster, actually a diagram, of our Fairfield COLO, complete with […]
I’m trying to integrate Nifty Corners into my MT templates, and man what a BITCH this is proving to be. I think I might end up scratching anything resembling an MT template and just putting MT tags into a working Nifty Corners page. Ugh.
I’m uploading pics of my new tattoo in the background, but since I’m on dial-up out here in the sticks, it’ll take forEVer. And yes that is my ass crack, thank you. (If you’ve never had a tattoo: the reason it looks like this is that it’s new, which means it’s still a little swollen, […]
Brett’s home today – no materials at the job site means no work for him to do – and that always throws me totally off my domestic stride. He’s just not supposed to be here when I’m cleaning the damn house. Basically I’ve accomplished nothing beyond making lunch, doing the ubiquitious dishes, putting away the […]
