A thirty something tomboy gets a present from the stork: ...."We've also discovered that she will bring whatever is in her hands to her mouth. ...Mostly there's nothing in arm's reach to swallow, except mom's hair, which has been falling out in droves (another neat pregnancy trick). Do babies get hairballs?"....

Christmas Cheer..

Tuesday, 30 November 2004 4:04 P GMT-05
Since I’m missing Christmas this year – literally – I had decided not to put out any Christmas lights. We aren’t putting up a tree either, and I was going to forgo all things Christmas until my mother pulled out her collection of Advent cale

First the good news: Our wood boiler is now connected to the right side of the chimney and is able to heat the house.Now for the bad news:  The whole idea of this entire system was that even though it is by nature more labor intensive then simply tu

So I was driving home today and found myself behind one of those monstrous SUVs people buy these days for whatever reason they buy them.  People around here have a slightly more reasonable excuse to buy such things because they've got that four-whee

So the Mad Scientist puts all these copper pipes (and I’m not a mad scientist, so I can’t really say whether all these copper pipes are completely necessary for the operation of my furnace-to-be or are the result of an obsessive-compulsive behavi

So I've been so flabbergasted by this whole blog thing that I didn't realize that apparently I am (or I was, or maybe I still am, it's hard to tell) one day ahead of everybody else.   Talk about a worm hole.  Although it would be nice to be a litt

We had an Open Enrollment meeting today for medical coverage today at work.  Given that our "merit increases" (what other companies typically call raises) were so miniscule as to be non-existent, you can imagine there was a great deal of t

You know what's really funny?  We found all this junk in a barn we owned, and now it's going on ebay for ridiculous prices.  We had a pretzel tin go for forty bucks.  It was full of pretzels at one point.  I personally think that's its only selli

Lionel's at a conference in Arizona.  He had to leave the house around 9:45 and therefore started packing at around 9:40, which resulted in much running around and losing things and rushing out of the house with no time to spare.    So it's no wo

Take for instance a wood boiler.  About a year ago, actually more like January of last year when our heating pipes froze (it's a bad sign when your heating pipes freeze, don't you think?) I began to think maybe oil wasn't the answer to all of our pr

Well everyone else seems to be on the bandwagon, (and what is a bandwagon, anyway?) here, so I've jumped on too.  That's me, see?  I'm the one holding on there for dear life because the damn ^&%$%$^ bandwagon doesn't seem to have any brakes.
