Thoughts on the Day


  • You know you're a grownup when sleeping in past 7 AM feels absolutely decedent.
  • Spring must be here.  The wait to check out at the hardware store/lumber yard was 30 minutes, and all of the men had outdoor project supplies.
  • Requests to purchase chicks to raise for meat and eggs have been officially denied by higher command.
  • Borrowing a method of accounting from another blogger, I can report that today I bought three Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifles worth of lumber and hardware this morning.
  • It's amazing how easily and quickly I can knock together raised garden beds when I refuse to do anything until Irish Woman provides me with a to-scale diagram of what she wants, complete with measurements.
  • Just for future reference, two 1" X 6" boards lined up do not come to a 12 inch expanse.  It comes to 11 3/8 inches.  Please plan accordingly.
  • Also, remember how to multiply complex fractions.
  • When I get to heaven, I'm going to look up the Irish Woman's ancestors and thank them profusely  for giving her good taste in bourbon.
  • There ain't no drama like family drama, 'cause family drama don't stop.

Every time Hubby says, "I've been thinking about" in regard to the house, my wallet cringes. A) There is NO way we're going to be able to do everything he wants to do, and do it this summer. B) There is NO way I can even see us affording it in the next twelve years. He has expensive tastes. Or, at least, it seems that way.

Try rabbits, they are quieter and still tasty.

Auntie J - I call it the "I have ideas, she has a vision" syndrome. All of this started by me saying "I think it would be a good idea to put up a picket fence across the yard so the little toddler next door doesn't fall into our dug-out walk-in entrance". Now, I'm putting in garden beds and moving a bunch of stuff, in addition to the fence.

Jennifer - Chickens were my fall back position. She had a rabbit as a pet, so she can't bring herself to consider them as a meat source any more than she could consider the dog.

Jesse James Bourbon. Because there are guns and stuff.
