around bloghdad...
Shirl is leaving Michigan for a trip to Montana today. Damn, the farthest west I've ever been is Nashville, TN. Alex recently sent me a picture of Black and Decker's latest toy, which I happened to try out last night. (safe for work---sound nefarious, doesn't it?)

Happy Birthday, Melanie!
Melanie of Veracity-or-Mendacity and from Sydney, is celebrating her birthday today.


Waiting for the Captain to bring me some stuff so I can get more stuff done around the house. Have I ever told you how frugal he is? We had a few hundred $$ set back to get a moving van, etc, to move. But HE wanted to save money, so he's bringing it all over bit by bit in his truck. Last night I got my washer. Today, I've hoping for the matching dryer to complete a laundry load. It didn't really start out this way. We began bringing boxes of things over at first. And then, each time we'd add something else, until the loveseat went, the dressers went, etc. So it's 3/4 frugality, and 1/4 'by God, I can do this thing myself.' And is there some unwritten law that dictates men's decor or surroundings should always be in blue? And if you cannot find a blue "one", be really radical and try navy or sky blue or steel blue. Where I prefer a putty, a grey, a butter or an olive "one". sigh-freakin'-sigh.....
