This weekend Paul and I successfully tiled the tub surround. Mom and Dad, I’m sure you’re the proudest of me you’ve ever been. I’ll take pictures and post them in a few days, after we’ve grouted and caulked. Then all you other folks can bask in the glow of how much more awesome we are than you.

The only drawback is that I’m now exhausted. Dinner better be manna from the heavens or else we’re just going to have to make do with cold mouth-shredding cereal.

What’s that I hear? Aye aye Cap’n! Here I come.

I’ve been trying new recipes out on Paul lately. The most recent was a small and very simple peanut butter cookie recipe that I ended up modifying. It turned out better than I expected. I think my next baking experiment will involve sugar cookies or possibly garlic cheddar bread.

On Memorial Day Paul decided to record part of the Land of the Lost marathon that was airing on Sci-Fi. Yesterday I discovered that our DVR might be gaining sentience. Half of the episodes that Paul recorded were suddenly missing. (And no, I did not go in and delete them while he was sleeping.) This is just one more sign that the machine revolution is just around the corner. Prepare to serve your mechanical overlords!

If you’re a returning visitor you’ve probably noticed that things look quite a bit different here. Sometime last week, Paul suggested I start using wordpress instead of trying to create an entirely new site design from scratch like I’ve been meaning to do for months now. After taking a look at wordpress and getting a decent feel for it, I had to agree that converting over was going to be easier than what I initially had in mind. So I’ve spent a few days trying to make the transition, tweaking things a little here and there. I still have some additional adjusting to do, but I thought it was time to go ahead and unveil what things will look like from here on out. This new look also means that comments are now available.

Enjoy the new look!

My grandmother has a facebook account! She’s the tech-savviest old lady I know and despite her arthritis she could probably type circles around your grandmother.

That’s right internet! This is a throw down.

Sorry, Grams. I just called you old. Please don’t un-friend me.
