Wow. It’s crazy hot here…. Although it’s only May, so I know I’m in for some more seriously steamy weather. I can’t even express how much I enjoy the fact that we bought a home that has central AC. It’s seriously one of the most amazing inventions ever!

“MISSING LINK” FOUND: New Fossil Links Humans, Lemurs?

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Thanks to Telgator1 for sending this to me. Fascinating. I don’t want Senor Lemur to see this article. He might get even more narcissistic and demanding, and start demanding a crown & scepter or something.

When plugging in a Tivo box, make sure that you’re plugging in a Tivo box and not a DVD player. It’s totally crucial to the whole endeavor. :)

Emma’s Favorite Things: Cake Wrecks Blog

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

This is my new favorite blog: Cake Wrecks.  Soooo many disasters. I’m no awesome cake decorator, but man, there are some real gems on that site. I’ve been going through the blog laughing my butt off and freaking Devon out in the process.

Legs of Steel and floors of wood.

Monday, May 11th, 2009

I’m currently packing up everything on the 2nd floor, and carrying it down to store on our 1st floor for the next 2 weeks, while we’re getting hardwood floors put in upstairs. The master bedroom, our office, our guest room and 4 closets…. Good times. My arms and legs are getting a madd good work out.

While our life is going to be really disrupted for the next 2 weeks, I’m seeing the bright side. 1.) Beautiful pale maple floors are going to look SOOOO much better than the nasty stained & burnt beige carpeting that we currently have. 2.) I’m using this as an excuse to sort through all of our stuff and separate it into Keep, Toss or Sell at the yardsale.

I am so young and carefree and a wild spirit and the antithesis of a responsible adult.

Happy Mother’s Day!

A wonderful day in the yard.

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Today I finished filling my raised garden bed. The snap peas, carrots, spotted mint and some cilantro are in the ground. I have other stuff to plant, but it’s too early to plant them.

Fifi also had a lovely day in the garden. She got out and romped around, eating as much clover as she possibly could. She even made a friend who had similar interests….

Talking shop.

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

One of the cool things about having worked at a wildlife rehab center is that I can talk shop with the Orkin guy. The Hanta virus, which rodent traps are more humane, good bees vs. nuisance bees, etc…
I did it in the middle of my lunch, while Devon dry heaved as I told him about it.
