don't stop til you get enough

So here's the funny thing about this alleged home improvement blog: among the pictures and videos of our antics since my last legitimate post, I can not seem to track down the only ones that were actually about home improvement, aka the Half Ginger Drywall Party, in which Snapp, Daniel, Brian and I took a stab at hanging drywall in my craft room.  Incidentally, the craft room now has drywall (most of it) but is not much more finished than it was. this leaves me time to take new pictures (or find the existing ones?), but they will never replace the photographic evidence of Snapp using a hammer and not wounding himself or anyone else in a heretofore unexpected fit of mechanical inclination!

in the meantime, pictures of antics and my cats.

i'm resigning myself to the fact that nearly every other post in this blog will be an apologetic acknowledgement of how much i neglect this blog. but you see what happened was...


...holidays working in retail
...family visitors from out of town, and the need to establish a guest room
...hockey season (sorta. i'm not sure anyone told the devils)
...i bought a tattoo shop
...i made my first turkey, and fed approximately a dozen people
...many, many food fights (we are regressing?)
...apple festivals, costume contests, home crafting, and sundry seasonal surprises
...you can stream netflix on your iphone now. and by you, i mean me.
...heat is expensive, the house is cold, the bed is warm, and leads to napping
...adventures in philadelphia with and without Bear Ambulance, also much karaoke
...another National Novel Writing Month (win)

SO. tomorrow is my day off from work. maybe (maybe) i will do something other than lounge in the tub reading sci-fi fantasy novels and curling up in bed watching bollywood movies. like resize some pictures and blog.
