Happily, I  am kind of over the Boomshine playing. I'm down to maybe once or twice a week for less than 10 minutes...and it only took less than a month. This is a good thing. Some of my addictions, like say... DemocraticUnderground.com last far longer (cough 4 years...cough) My daughter is pleased... I am pleased. Laundry is being done again here.

Last year, or maybe it was the year before, I bought a firepit for my husband for Father's Day. We are country people, hopelessly stuck here in 1950's plat home suburbia...so I did the only thing I could. Give him fire. The city ordinance changed for burning on your property (all 50x120, 1/10 acre of it!) and we were first in line. Nothing pleases us more to drag it out onto the back (most people would say patio here) driveway, place a couple of chairs around and light er up. It only takes me about 4 hours to accomplish. My husband? He can walk outside and... fire erupts. I am mildly jealous.

You know how you have eleventy billion things to do? And you know you have to do them, but you don't. So they keep adding up and getting worse, until some of the things become not worth even doing, and people start thinking you're some sort of procrastinator...so instead you buy a new television and a stove? So, that's what we did today.
