Painting will start today on Dar’s bathroom. Yay! Tomorrow morning I’ll put on my new scooter tire and that will be yay too! Then I’ll remove the floor heater to prepare for floor repairs and I’ll start work on the washing machine drain.

Every once in awhile I hear this from Nicole and others. Sometimes it’s “people” sometimes it’s “kids.” It always makes me laugh inside because for a moment the person saying it sounds like a stereotypical old person from some show.

I only knew you for a short time but you seemed good and friendly and nice. Your presence will be missed.

I finally found the Dark Side M&Ms at Toys R Us. I liked the idea of dark chocolate M&Ms. So what do I think? They really don’t taste all that much different than regular M&Ms. The dark colors are great though!

So the EZ-Seal made the tire last twice, at four weeks, as any previous tire. The presious tires lasted two weeks and one week, respectively. I came back from OSH and after realizing I needed more hardware, hopeed back on the scooter to realize that the tire was low. I saw some EZ-Seal bubbling a […]

Chocolate and Vanilla Cream. This is vanilla flavored white chocolate where you can barely taste the vanille and a small layer of milk chocolate on the bottom. I htink it’s mostly unsatisfying since it doesn’t really live up to its name. Souble Chocolate. This is milk chocolate with a thin layer of dark chocolate on […]
