So that’s what this is
So I awake today and feel different. I realize what buying a house means. I mean, I already “knew” that stuff but now I understand. It has sunk in. It means that I don’t have to move around anymore when rent goes up or if I have a crappy landlord. It means that we are building equity. It means we aren’t pissing our money away into someone else’s pockets. It means we are free to decorate any way we choose. I may need help in this category for sure. It means we don’t have to be as wary of our tv/stereo volume after 11 pm. It means we don’t have…

Sleep is over-rated….I guess
So I’ve been sleeping like a bag. A bag of crap. 10 lbs in a 5 lb bag to be exact. I’ve tried everything. Going to bed later. Going to bed earlier. Eating. Not eating. Wearing Pyjamas. Wearing normal clothes. Using blankets. Throwing them off me. No matter what I do I’m exhausted. I wake up feeling fully rested but restless and it’s way BEFORE my alarm is due to go off. But at the same time I’m still exhausted and it takes me forever to get back to sleep. I must be having weird dreams or hearing crazy sounds or both. I guess I have been heard laughing in…

This time last year
I was having the time of my life in the company of fools!! 🙂 HERE to Reminisce Quite a change from this year. So much for being annual. Well it can still happen.

In 2009 so it can continue to be “annual”. 🙂

Laura’s tip of the day
Tin Foil. Use it to store your cheese block in after it’s been opened. It works sooo much better than saran wrap or ziploc bags or whatever. Plastic (ie Saran wrap or ziplocs) trap and/or create moisture, which sucks for cheese. We’ve been doing this for a bit and for some reason has come up in conversation a few times in the last couple of days so I thought I’d tell everyone that yes, I use tin foil on my cheese. And it’s something you should convert to. So there you have it folks. It’s out there.
