Miss Piggy is my feminist idol.
My weekend was a monumental success on the attic front. I need to pack up the give away items and move them out, but The VAST majority of my collection of stuff is now packed in 70-gallon storage bins that have been lugged up, up, and away by my wonderful Stv. There’s still odds and [...]
That’s right, I can now put things in the attic (yuk yuk). Stv and I spent Wednesday night hauling particle board up the attic stairs, laying it out, and nailing it to beams, so there’s now actual storage space in half of the attic. It isn’t glamorous, but I’m VERY excited to have a place [...]

Okay, I’m all upgraded, which is good, since there were security fixes and such. And I have a new theme. I feel so … web 2.0. I even have a reflection on the logo and a few rounded corners.
