Crazy Week… and it’s only half way done

Shall I start a list? (yes, I can vent here as it's my blog!)

1) The basement flooded – TWICE!

2) We failed the electrical inspection

3) The half-bath with TWO outlets MUST have it's own dedicated 20 amp circuit (a huge thanks to all the gals out there with hairdryers and curling irons!)

Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!

If you have not heard NPR’s news quiz show “Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me!”, you are missing out! This show is hilarious and, slightly, informative.

The basic premise of the show is this: quiz folks on various odd news items from the past week. The result is a ton of laughter [...]

Looking long term, we decided [...]

Lucky dumpster dive…

Imagine walking a long and seeing this item lying near a garbage can.

Would you pick it up? I wouldn't.  I would just walk on by – probably shaking my head at the things people paint.

And I would of walk right past a $1,049,000 painting. Yelp, your [...]

Electric-powered jeepney?

Ok – for those of you who have never been to Manila (Philippines), it is a very, very polluted city – in fact, there are NO birds in the city because they all died of air poison.

To hear that someone is starting to make electric-powered jeepneys – it's amazing!!!

Roasted Pig, Anyone?

We had a pig roast / wild game party at church this weekend.  It was huge success with about 150 people showing up to eat, fellowship, play board games, and listen to some live bluegrass music. Needless to say – it was a fun time.

The best part of the evening [...]
