The edits on Kate 10 have landed, so we will be busy with those for the foreseeable future. Once they are done, it’s full speed ahead on Hugh’s book. Gordon is doing business taxes. He is not a happy man, but he has girded his loin and is trying to beat them tax prep into

It is Freezing Here in San Marcos
It is cold. Everything is iced over. Gordon and I had to rent a moving truck, because the movers mysteriously left behind my chair and a couple of other things, including Gordon’s comic collection, and yesterday we had to drive it from Cedar Park to San Marcos. As an aside, I am a hoarder. Also

Office – Finally.
It’s cold this morning in Texas. Austin, which is now north of us instead of south, had actual snow again. We didn’t get snow, but we got blistering cold. How cold did it get, you ask? These are respectable icicles on our pool fountain. These are big enough to injure you if they fell on

The Moving Saga
I will spare you some of the details, such as broken toilets (shipping toilets is a problem,) and $2,500 in electrical work. Why would you you put an outside outlet without GFI and the weather proof cover? Why? Why would you do this 8 times? So here is an abbreviated version. In the end, we

Everything Is Bad

Behold! The Apocalypse Is Nigh!
Last night. This morning Go Texas!

Bleh
I feel a cold coming on. I woke up three times last night – idiot dogs – and I had that thing, when you’ve sweated but now it cooled off. My throat hurts. I’ve just gotten over the chronic throat soreness, and here we go again. And my brain is fuzzy. I pulled out the

Gangs of Turkeys Terrorize the Suburbanites
Today I bring an unintentionally hilarious article about turkeys. Apparently gangs of turkeys are marauding through Suburbia across the nation. When the Cambridge, Mass., city council took up the matter recently, one member told of a turkey that chased a child and her dog outside church, and another recounted coming face-to-beak with a bird outside

Sellers Beware
In preparation for the move, Kid 2 decided to get rid of her old clothes. She has American Apparel she hadn’t worn since the beginning of high school, crop tops, etc. She announced that she downloaded an app called Poshmark and was going to sell her belongings online. Kid 2: I’m going to sell my

To Shelf or Not to Shelf
Shelves instead of cabinets is the latest trend in kitchens, I suspect because of the Fixer Upper show on HGTV. Photo by Jonathan Raith Inc. – Look for kitchen design inspiration Our poor long-suffering realtor, Trudy Tassin, whom we dragged everywhere, from Spicewood to San Antonio, once made a comment that “farmhouse look” is very
