As I mentioned yesterday, Tasha and I picked up a bunch of new decor items for our bedroom.  Today we hit Walmart and the grocery store to buy additional supplies, and I began the arduous task of preparing the room for painting.

I’m sorry to say that I generally slept like crap the first night in my new house.  My air mattress wasn’t quite inflated properly, so it deflated slightly overnight leaving me with a backache.  I was all prepared to be up for the cable guy to show up at 8 am, only to find out […]

Interesting thing about my neighborhood… there are 10 wireless networks, 2 of which are unsecured.  This is how I am able to blog to you right now, as I am sitting in the unfurnished living room of my new house! Among the strange things the previous tenant took with them: one light switch cover, one […]
