Kevin got hairy for some nuts these last two months. And by nuts, I mean balls, cojones, nads. You know, testicles. He participated in fund-raising event for the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation, Inc. Testicular cancer a serious problem and a real health issue. To raise money, TPTB decided to have a “mustache-athon”. Yes, it’s […]

Construction Day One
Today wasn’t all that bad. The guys showed up about 9:30 and stayed until after 5. They framed the half of the office and bathroom that needed it. Sadly, this will take about 9 inches away from the office since one wall was only a concrete slab. Pout. I love me some square footage. We […]
A new beginning
Divorce parties are becoming popular.\ I wanted to have a party when my best friend divorced. Not because it was joyous occasion, but because it was so long in coming that finally having it official meant that she could get on with her life. And that was reason to celebrate.\ What says you all?
The Home ‘Stache Stretch
It’s almost over. This bristly curly mass on my face is doomed. Come Thursday morning, it will be gone. I’m currently tied for fourth place in the rankings, and that’s just not good enough, people!\ I’ve hopefully provided some entertainment, and maybe saved a testicle (maybe two, I don’t know what the dollar to nut […]
House stuff
I signed the contract to get our basement finished. They start on Monday. YAY!! I’m glad to finally be moving forward on this. After the office is finished, we are going to have a camp out in there since this is why we didn’t have a summer vacation. I think the kids will like an […]
Yay for Philly!
Boy Scouts to pay more in rent. I’m not anti-Boy Scouts, maybe. But they can’t have it both ways: ban certain people from their organization and receive special privileges from the government.\ Kevin and I blogged about this before. I am going to see if I can find those old posts.\ ETA-\ My old post.\ […]
Holy Toledo!
Wow, even as crazy-liberal as I am, this is too crazy for even me: Middle school offers birth control pill. If parents sign a vague, “my child can be treated at the health center” form, the child can receive the prescription. This is shocking to me. It can’t be good for 11-13 year olds to […]
Max Is a Poet
Max and I talk about all kinds of things, and you already know that he reads everything. It’s sometimes hard to figure out how to explain things to him. He’s worried about stuff like the environment, and recently, the war in Iraq. I’ve been trying to tell him not to worry about it (because he’s […]
Luray Caverns: Escaping Underground
We decided to get out of the house yesterday and take a drive. It’s been a stressful few weeks at Chez Lawver and we needed a break. So, we piled the boys in the car with snacks, paper, pens and books and headed out to the country to go play in a cave. We’ve lived […]
