Return from the ranch

I have returned from the ranch after spending a good chunk of time fixing up a computer out there. The basic clean out spyware and virus stuff. River had a great time, running around and briefly dipping into the lake. I think she quickly discovered how cold it is and figured it wasn’t the smartest […]

Tiles a Plenty

It is just about my first year anniversary with my house. I have yet to fully move in (meaning my garage still has loads of boxes) I have a few projects that hopefully maybe can make it onto the 2008 schedule. This year was mostly painting and furniture, 2008 can be getting new glass tile […]

The one place I avoid

I am doing my home owner duties today and cleaning things up and the one place i continue to avoid is ..duh dum duhhh! the Garage. Seriously, it still looks like I am moving in (wait its been nearly a year) I can’t even see the floor in there. Covered in boxes, I have yet […]

A place of your own.

Ahh the weekend, time to look around and think about what needs to be done. This is my own place and I have only myself to rely on to get things around her picked up, and sorted out. I guess I know what I need to do. But it comes with having your own place, […]

Something Nice

I forget what it is like to randomly get something nice in the mail, or deceived directly to my doorstep. Not to long ago I received some nice things from my parents. They sent me a bunch of stuff (a full box full) for my house. It was so nice and really filled the need. […]

Mix’n It Up

Something that has changed the way I live is a budget. I cook nearly every meal and hardly go out. That means that recently and I mean with in the last year or so I have started to accumulate kitchen appliances. I have the basics but one thing I lack is a real mixer. Sure […]

modular home

On the way home from Dallas we passed by a few modular home dealers (is that what you call them) Anyways before I moved here my dad and I went down to one to check them out because I was thinking about getting one on some land here and that would solve the housing problem. […]

DIY Made Easier

I think at some point everyone begins some project that they decide that they are going to just do it for themselves. I mean how hard can it possibly be. I mean it seems basic and something that you can do in your sleep. However I know from trying to paint my office it can […]

Clean House

For two weeks in a row. I have had a clean house. This is great actually, I had people over Friday and I didn’t have to rush around picking it all up. It feels good to come home and the place be picked up. I also am watching Clean House on HGTV or whatever it […]

Cover up those things.

It has come a long way, my house. I came in to this place with a purple living room, a horribly do it your self faux finished dining room and now its not too shabby. Painted, and bought new furniture and it’s looking pretty nice. I did finally get some curtains for the big window […]
