    Jeanne and I are huge craigslist fans and she loves scavenging through the furniture section looking for deals and fixer uppers.? We have two beautiful pieces in our dining room that she’s found that you would swear cost four times what we actually paid for them.? Of course, being in South Jersey, the furniture scene…

    The champ defended his crown last week at our annual family reunion log contest. You may remember my comeback victory last year that involved me getting a crap load of stitches. I have to give credit to the the one and only One String Willie for inspiring my log idea. I used the instructions on…

    We took Sasha to the Philadelphia Zoo last week and she liked it.? I got a great shot of the face plant she did while running around the petting zoo, too. Don’t worry.? She was fine.? She didn’t even cry, but she was filthy afterwards.

    A wicked stomach virus ripped through my family this week.? I don’t think I’ve been this sick in years.? Last night was a fun night of throwing up at least 5 times, but Sasha beat me with her outstanding 7 throw ups in 2.5 hours on Wednesday morning.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve driven to Illinois, but I did that last week and just got back the other night. I always have fun at weddings, but Jake and Holly’s was one of the best ever. They served tacos and it went until 12:45PM! I probably had too much fun. This was…

    My cousin Kelly gave me a nice mention on her new and awesome blog, Ethereal world, ethereal girl. She writes about important topics like politics, earthquakes, pet wear, and mass transit. I’m actually out in Illinois this week for Jake’s wedding, so I’ll probably run into her on Saturday. She is inspiring me to write…

    I sold my entertainment center on craigslist yesterday, so I spent the good part of the evening putting together our new cabinet and wiring everything back together. That’s always a fun job. It took four freaking hours.

    I set up a 529 College savings plan for Sasha. For those of you who don’t know what a 529 is, it allows us to save money for her college expenses (books, tuition, travel, etc.) without being taxed on the interest gained. Each state has their own plan, but you can use any state’s plan.…

    My brother Jake and his friends Keith and Jessica will be parachuting over Williamstown today, so if you see a Jake sized hole in your roof you’ll know why. I think I’ll wait until after he jumps before I give him back the $160 I borrowed last week. I made some layout/color changes to the…
