It’s finally official

October 31st, 2007 | 2 Comments

After well over a month of worrying, scrambling, phone calls, and lots of “hurry up and wait,” we’re finally homeowners! We finished the paperwork late this afternoon, and after signing my name more times than I ever have in one sitting, we drove up to see the home that is now officially ours. Believe it [...]

Old people survey

October 30th, 2007 | 1 Comment

I found this in my Myspace bulletins, courtesy of Lex…another Jeep chick! When I read it, I just had to fill it out and post it. ——— Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids? ‘Have you ever kissed someone?’ ‘Missed someone?’ ‘Told someone you loved them?’ ‘Drank alcohol?’… 50 questions [...]

Four and some change

Dave’s new toy

October 13th, 2007 | No Comments

Dave got a new “toy” yesterday – a Gravely 526. It’s a walk-behind mower, although this one has the sulky attachment for seating. It can accept various attachments (in place of the mower deck) for things like plowing, snowblowing, tilling, cultivating, and all sorts of other things. Since we’ll have over 4 acres of land [...]
