I’ve been tagged not once, not twice, but FIVE times with tagger-blog-meme-thingys. Perhaps you’ve just joined me here at LWM3B, as a recent reader. Perhaps you’ve been around since my chat [...]

I Pinned Him Down and Hog-tied Him

January 27, 2008

… Just for you. Handy Man agreed to be interviewed with only a little bit of skepticism. He was taking a break between cutting lots and lots and lots of lumber. He’s making a wall and a half of built-in bookshelves for the school room. He didn’t mind the interruptions. [...]

What’s Up, Buttercup?

January 25, 2008

Check it out! LWM3B has a new look. Seems I’m never satisfied with the look around here, and I am my pickiest customer. Doing this made me realize I need one of these. I made that coffee cup with a mouse. I *heart* it, despite its imperfections. But I’m [...]

Ahhhhhh. Feels Good.

January 21, 2008

Ever take a “mental health weekend”?
I almost didn’t. Wednesday night I managed to food-poison all the meat-eating members of my family with homemade spaghetti and meatballs. Even though the meat was fresh, it made us sick. Thursday was a day of reckoning for me, I think I really scared poor Handy [...]

You All Crack Me Up

January 9, 2008

So I have one of those nifty stat counters that tell me things like who you people are who drop in on the boybarians, if you use Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari (why do people really care about that?), your IP etc. But it also tells me the interesting stuff you all type into [...]

Curse You, PB Loco

January 7, 2008

I was once happy about supermarket Jif. I thought, you know… choosy moms chose Jif. I’m a choosy mom. I savored their creamy goodness in every sneaked peanut butter sandwich filled with way-too-many calories. And grilled PBJ? It’s not food, it’s desert.
I need the protein, I’d rationalize.
But then, [...]

Me: Wow! Maybe we should break it down per meal. What’s your favorite breakfast?
Trouble: “Pan-tates.”
Me: How [...]

The Nester is a Cuckoo GEM!

January 2, 2008

Remember my friend The Nester? She’s such a cool gal. She’s been such a pain in the @$$, uh, such a joy to work with on this project. She’s totally picky open-minded, and loved to give me very detailed criticism good advice about how to make a space totally perfect for her. [...]
