I’m trying to decide where to plant the 2 little yarrow plants that i bought last weekend. I’ve got clay soil and that right there means that i haven’t got a place where yarrow will be super super happy. – flowers are good for drying and are nicely aromatic – has a bunch of medicinal [...]
Does this look weird to you? I’ve been driving around looking at houses around here and the main difference I can see is that our house is the only one with the garage under where the front door needs to be. Most houses have a separate garage or a garage under the main victorian bay [...]
Fuck this noise. The dirt in our backyard is rock solid. Also, I keep digging up plastics bags with rotting stuff in them AND kids clothes. Why are there kids clothes buried in the back yard? Am I about to dig up a dead body? I can’t fucking take it! I also dug up a [...]
This house kicks so much ass. It’s is so pleasant all day long. For some reason, probably having to do with light quality, it is awesome to take a shower in the laundry room downstairs even though it’s filled with junk and tools and you have to squirm your way through to the weird janky [...]
Some one who lived here a long time ago liked roses and plum trees. The roses are hoary and gigantic and the plum trees are so old that they are dying and will never produce fruit again. Actually we had an arborist come in today and he cut down most of the plum trees, some [...]
My kid has a lot of toys. Not, like, totally outrageously too many or anything but too many for our smallish house and too many for the level of complete non organization that reigns around here. I’m reading some Montessori book in which happy bright non whiney kids frolic peacefully with well organized thoughtful toys [...]
I flipped some jerkhole off this morning. They were honking at me to make a left turn on red on a one way street, which is legal but only if it is SAFE TO DO SO. Which it was NOT as there were cars from the highway barreling off a fucking exit ramp. JEEEZ. Puleese [...]
So Holy Shit. We bid on a house like a month or more ago and now our offer has maybe been accepted which, everyone tells me means NOTHING on a short sale. It’s all dire predictions and projected hassle. But WHAT ISN’T? I ask you…. The house is OLD. The bathrooms are a bit weird. [...]
I’ll be needing this one. screw making my own ugly ass chicken coop.
Things I could do today: – sweep the front porch – stress about our 5,000$ LESS than the other bidder bid on the house that is adorable, huge, has cute period details and a SECRET PASSAGE. – work on cleaning the craft room (endless project that will never be done because it has me totally [...]
Jack had those super crappy days last week but then went back to his most cheerful normal self. Although he still freaks out that Vim was getting him milk and not me. The house we bid on got another offer that is supposedly better than ours but still the bank hasn’t appointed anyone to look [...]
Two things I want to have as soon as we buy a house: a clothes line and chickens. I want a Rhode Island Red, at least one! Check out this hilarious backyard chicken coop hat is disguised as a trashcan I also like this movable chicken coop from My Backyard Chicken Farm. GreenFoot has an [...]
Vim and I made cupcakes this weekend. The recipe from the latest Cooks Illustrated. I was expecting them to be sooooo gooood. and then I was mostly disappointed. I think I hate butter cream frosting. The joy of cooking black bottom cupcakes are better and the cream cheese and white chocolate frosting I make is [...]
I made pizza last night. I couldn’t find the all purpose flour so I used half wheat and half bread flour. It turned out a bit heavy but fairly yum. I was also out of walnuts and was sad about it. I love walnuts on my pizza, with goat cheese and I hate sauce. This, [...]
Actully I think Jack has the concept of 3 down as well as the concept of two, he can stand on one foot (mostly) and he can count to six starting at two… I’m not sure why he considers one irrelevant. My baby book tells me that standing on one foot and the concept of [...]
But it’s getting close! It’s too hot up in the bedroom during the day to get anything done up there! I swear, that is the truth. It’s not that I am a lazy git and have lost focus that the project is not done… The small photo is the original disaster area. Next you can [...]
I have all this barely contained rage lately. Every time I look at my kitchen, or my bathroom, or my craft room or the living room. My gut tightens up and heaves a little bit. I SO AGGRAVATED. Everything is messy. We have too much stuff. There are crackers on the floor and 4700 tiny [...]
