So the plumber came and the plumber has gone. He gave me a quote of $1595 and told me that he’d be back on Tuesday to do the job. I told him no thanks. He didn’t understand why so I explained that I’d been very specific on the phone when...
I have this love-hate relationship going on with my house right now. I love that I’m not paying rent to cover someone else’s mortgage, and the fact that I don’t have to ask permission before I paint a room any color that I wish, and the fact that I can...

Corbin’s birthday is coming up and, since he lives and Maryland and we don’t generally see him for this occasion, we are getting a box ready to ship down to him. We went shopping this past Monday evening to pick out a variety of nifty gifts. We grabbed a cute...
