We’ve been busy, you guys. It doesn’t seem as bad when I look at our calendar, but the fact remains – when I get home these days, I do not want to blog. I want to make dinner, sit on the sofa, and watch an appalling travesty of a television show with my husband instead of blog.
E is coming home today from a one day business trip. Last week, I was in Minneapolis, surrounded by several thousand librarians. Man, those chicks can keg stand! Not really. Now that we are back, we have some more work around the house to do. First and foremost, we really owe you guys some pictures. They’re coming, I promise. I’ll work on them this weekend.
I’ve been doing a lot of cooking this week, which is good for both E and me. E is happy that not only am I making tasty goodness and actually using the kitchen items we spent good money on, but we are not ordering pizza every night. I am happy because the recipes (most of which came from here) are turning out wonderfully. No more kicking the oven and screaming DAMN YOU TO HELL, STUPID LAMB SHANK for me! At least, not this week.
E has been working very hard on the house. In the past couple of weeks, he finished the tile floor in our kitchen and utility room, set up his workshop in the garage, replaced the downstairs lighting fixtures, and has been all-around studly. Now it’s my turn to do work. He has tasked me with replacing the doorknobs and locks on our front, back and side door. I have absolutely no idea how to do this. Not only that, I must ensure that they are all able to be opened by the same key. Is this possible to do without calling a locksmith? I can’t seem to find an answer on The Google or DIY. In addition, I’ll also be painting our guest bedrooms soon to make room for our guest bedroom furniture (being picked up in a few weeks). Next time you’re in the Charlotte, NC area and looking for a place to pass out, think of “The Garretts” for all your slumber needs.
Back to work. I do have another thing to update everyone on, but it’s not ready yet. Deal with it, Fitz. What’s new with everyone else? Leave your happenings in the comments.
ETA: HA we ordered pizza tonight. So much for that.
ETA2: NO, I am not pregnant, that is NOT the news.
Link swap. I’ve had GREAT success using recipes from http://www.jemangelaville.com, so right back at you. (Translation: “I eat the city”?)
We are busy doing the same old stuff. Mostly watching our baby. And work. Lots of work. I’ll be working late tonight. Boo. But I have next week off. Yay.
This weekend, maybe doors? And I just hooked up an acquaintance’s home theater system (with a couple more visits still to come), and bartered for help with some doors for our house. Yay, bartering. Next week: stairwell! (probably). Then we’re going to Mexico for a wedding.
Oh, and of course, you tease: I MUST KNOW YOUR NEWS.

Tomorrow night! Triumphant return of Battlestar! Followed by Numb3rs (god, I hate that 3)!

D and I keep saying this to each other but never to you. We would occasionally catch The Soup on E! and think of you. It’s on our TiVo list now. You would love it, if you’re not already watching it.
The Soup is fantastic but we never remember when it’s on. We could Tivo it, but… meh. I’m so LAZY.
you guys are so domestic. cool.
that chick – I know, it freaks me out too.
Before I die, I want to take a body shot off of a librarian.
DGM, I promise they don’t really look like they do in the pornos.
