the neverending saga of the joys of homeownership

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2003

so…yesterday, as Erika was leaving for work, she called me to let me know that the outside spigot (who invented that word?) was leaking. Ok, not really leaking, but free-flowing.
After trying a few times to stop the water — get soaked in the process — she had to leave. I figured that it was a […]

so…the show was good, but it meant that we didn’t get home until 1AM. 1AM…when did that become late?
Maybe it was when I realized that I need to get up at 6AM to get ready for work and start my commute.
When did it start taking me over an hour to get ready for work?
I remember […]

Erika said it best: “like a little kid trying to guess what’s in his Christmas presents under the tree”

so…before our move, our CD burner died. The tray would open, but it wouldn’t close, and even if it was forced closed, it wouldn’t burn — oddly enough, if the tray was open and I shut the machine down, it would pull the tray closed.
I picked up a new burner off of ebay for like […]

“she’s gone from suck to blow”

Monday, December 1st, 2003

The previous owners of our new house were getting a bit up there in age. The husband had lost a lot of his mobility in the last couple of years, and they moved to a new one-level home to help him out.
