washer/dryer

January 12, 2013

we give up.

our washer flooded a couple of times over christmas, and the timer on the dryer no longer advances (meaning that we can run the dryer for 8+ hours non-stop if we’re not smart enough to shut it off manually).

so mommy get’s her christmas wish after all — new, bigger, washer and dryer.

house photography

January 9, 2013

eighteen months after we moved in, we finally have pictures on the wall.

when we staged our old place for sale, our real estate agent told us to put up artwork that made people think about the neighborhood — so we dowloaded a bunch of photos from flickr, framed them, and put them on our wall. and, we never got around to swapping them out once we moved.

after a weekend of photo selection (and printing via mpix) we now have honest-to-God family photos hanging on the wall.

new year’s eve

January 4, 2013

with my beloved wife still recovering from an emergency root canal (don’t ask) and me recovering from some mysterious plague that knocked me on my butt for two days, we kind of missed new year’s eve. and by “missed” i mean that we were both in by 9:45pm, although i actually got to see the clock tick over at midnight when the mighty quinn decided to get up and celebrate.

so we took another shot at it tonight, with dinner at Central Michel Richard followed by drinks and bad college football. and we both stayed up until at least 11:15pm.
