(this picture is very tiny.)
We have resorted to taking pictures with our camera phones since the flash on our digital camera is still out of commission. Who knows when we’ll get it fixed, but I’m missing out on taking really good pictures after hours. Plus, because it was so dark in the restaurant, this [...]

The beauty of having a Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

“Did you record the ‘Golden Globe Awards’?”
“Yes.”
“And who scheduled to record ‘Miss America’? And ‘Miss America Moments’?”
“I did. That’s what happens when you leave me alone for a weekend with control of the remotes.”

Watch out, David Blaine

This is Noah, my friend Carrie’s son. He and I are birthday buddies, and he’ll be two this year on March 18. I like to brag that if Noah would have been a girl (and still born on my birthday, as his parents weren’t quite sure if he was going to be a St. Patty’s [...]

A vice to be reckoned with

We have no money. In fact, I am scared to check our bank account today as I apparently enjoy the anxious feeling of not actually knowing that we are negative and racking up non-sufficient funds charges as I type.
So, what am I doing? Window shopping… well, more like window e-shopping. I really do know why [...]

Replacing My Lost Post

I just typed a ginormous post that was really good (in my opinion, after all), and because I am in denial over how computer saavy I am, I clicked a wrong button without saving first (my Computers 101 prof would be so disappointed). Stay tuned for a rewrite of the really good post (you know, [...]
