Assuming no more problems, tomorrow, the bathroom floor will be done (it better be, I’ve paid the up-front deposit already!). Tonight’s going to involve some heavy lifting, getting the washer and dryer out of the way (got a hand truck for that, shouldn’t be a problem), and getting all the stuff that’s fallen into the […]

So, the plans to hit the cheap movies at the new multiplex collapsed right about the time we saw the line snaking all the way around the attached mall. After lunch and  a quick trip to the bookstore, we headed home.  However, since Andrew’d been such a good kid for the morning, Mary hadn’t been, […]
