Farm along the Paul Henry Trail Going shopping tonight with Tracy. I really shouldn’t spend any money, but looking won’t hurt, right? I was talking to a friend at work about the whole shopping thing just this morning. I’ve read articles about people who are addicted to shopping. My co-worker […]

Now you see it, now you don’t I’ve had a few days of feeling very productive, including priming much of the kitchen on Friday and Sunday, and removing the above wallpaper from the office today. I was pretty much on the go around the house yesterday and got a lot […]
