Cleaning @ Home

Sorry, folks. I haven't had much to report lately. I've been spending a lot of time clearing junk out of my upstairs/attic closets at home, trying to reclaim some sense of order.

Bad Rudy

Rudy hasn't necessarily been helping. I can't really blame this mess on him, though. This mess belongs to a weak-willed trash bag that lost its bottom as I carried it downstairs.

P.S. - No, Rudy isn't huge. He's actually kind of small in the grand scheme to things. Our stairs are just that narrow.

Tina & Rob's going away party

The party I mentioned in the last post was for my friends Tina & Rob. Tina starts work this week as a Molecular Biology Writer for Science News. It's a fantastic career move, but we're really sorry to see them go.

Shopping at 2am when you know you're not going to want to get up and to in the morning

Last week we stayed out late Friday night for a going away party. On the way home, Julie remembered she needed a few more ingredients for the chili she was making for another party Saturday night. The Hampton Village Schnuck's is pretty quiet at 2am on a Saturday.

How could this tree end up in the clearance section? It's tall, skinny & askew - perfect for a city house!

So many beans to pick from...
