What the %#+^€¥£ hell am I listening to?!?!

Something’s afoot!
We’ve got at least one fire truck in the area and guys with flashlights looking for something. Two just went into our basement saying something about a boiler, an old gas line, and my building’s “heck of a chimney.” Wonder … Continue reading

Happy Halloweeeeeen!
All right! After a brief delay due to technical difficulties and a migraine (WHAT?!), it’s time to post, post, post about my party! First up? The decor! I gutted these on Saturday to roast the pumpkin seeds and then started … Continue reading
Silly kitty!
I had my housewarming/Halloween party last night (yes, I know it took me three years to finally have a housewarming party), so the previous week has been filled with cooking, baking, decorating, and all the other things that go into … Continue reading

What’s an animal that lives in Illinois that screams that’s not a peacock?
Monday night, around 2 am, I woke up to a horrible screeching sound and my first thought was, of course, “BANSHEE!” It went on for maybe 30 seconds and then stopped. Once I’d woken up sufficiently to reassure myself it … Continue reading

Your offering pleases me.
There are squirrels who like to visit my garage. In the mornings, I have to give my garage door a little yank so I don’t end up with an armful of squirrely biting when I open it up. I often … Continue reading

TA DA!
Done! Kind of. I thought the books with brightly colored spines would take up the whole shelf space in my living room. Alas, there are more black, white, off-white, and multi-colored spines than I thought and I’m left with nearly … Continue reading

It’s going to get worse before it gets better…
It’s like doing one of those little shifty tile puzzles in here. I’ve just gotta keep my head down, my game face on, and power through these bastards! Keep your fingers crossed that I have a finished project to show … Continue reading

The things we do for new furniture…
I have new furniture! My old loveseat was perfectly comfortable, but was not very practical when it came to having people over unless they already knew each other fairly well or for sleeping on. So I got a new one! … Continue reading

Wanna see something weird?

You know…
…most of the time I’m glad my neighbors are quiet, but every once in a while I get to feeling a little nostalgic and, well, I miss Stompy and Shouty and Next Door Neighbor. With these neighbors, I have no … Continue reading

Alas, it’s time to say goodbye…
My new furniture is supposed to arrive tomorrow which means it is time for the hideous comfy chair and I to part ways. We had a good nap last Sunday (though I did wake up with a bit of a … Continue reading

I have to show you something!
So, I am fascinated with my basement – basically shared spaces, in general. For example, in my basement, there are two tables, four mismatched chairs, a set of cabinets from someone’s kitchen, and a rocking lawn-chair placed directly in front … Continue reading
