New Toy

Monday, February 26th, 2007

After a little bit of begging and a short lecture, I bought myself a new toy today. It’s a Bostitch nail gun. Well, actually it is 3 guns and a compressor.
It is bad to the bone. If you have ever taken the moulding off the frame of a door, it is stapled [...]

Getting It Right

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

I’ve been working on my in-laws bathroom. I tiled the floor last week, my Mother-In-Law wallpapered the walls and started stripping the cabinet and sent the drawers off to be stripped. This weekend, I’ve put in the new switches, outlets and plates, hung the hand towel ring, the towel bar and an extremely [...]

Daddy’s Little Girls

Monday, February 19th, 2007

My lovely wife and I went out this weekend on a little date.  During said date, we went to the movies and saw Tyler Perry’s Daddy’s Little Girls.

She goes to her little pretend cash register, pulls out her little fake $20 bill and hands it to Nannyboo.
“I’m going to need my change,” says Emily.
Which begs the question, what [...]

Barack And Roll

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Barack Obama has officially declared his presidential ambitions. I can’t wait to watch him in action. I find him to be the most exciting of the candidates thus far.
I really like John Edwards, but on more of an intellectual level.
Clinton just doesn’t turn my crank. That and if she were to win [...]

Almost Painful

Friday, February 9th, 2007

I’m so wickedly tired right now.  It’s all of my own doing, of course.  And most of it involves helping the in-laws remodel a bathroom which is turning out really nice, so it is well worth it.
But tired is tired and, wooh boy.
