Ok, that’s a lie. I’m the one who checks tracking every few minutes and will cry if I can’t have what I want immediately. Er, so I don’t cry, but I do get whiney. I’ll shake Rob and whimper if I have to wait for someone and you don’t want to be [...]

Uh oh
We only had the two color options when I ordered that daybed, the red/orange and the blue/gray… so of course being nuts I picked the red/orange. But now what? I’m color impaired. Well, here, how’s this?
look, I’m at work and don’t have photoshop so I had to use some really chinsy online [...]
dwr sale!
We’ve been putting off organizing or furnishing the guest room/office/craft room, partially laziness and partially because the money that we would use was better used elsewhere at the time. In fact, it is the only room that still has a lot of unpacked boxes. However, with the sale, we decided to just go [...]
Who are you anyway?
I’ve been gone. I know, it’s been an up and down what with having NEARLY CUT OFF MY FINGER. It’s gross, but it’s decided to reattach and now the end just feels (and looks) a little strange. The nail is almost back to full length. Just another month and I think [...]
A Quick Fix.
I’ve been trying to work on my art, but things come up. We’ve had a non-stop stream of friends coming to stay with us, including tonight someone will be with us for the remainder of this month. That put my neurotic furniture arranging on hold (which Rob is really happy about) and made [...]
Ok, I don’t have the best photos. But here is the general idea.
WC Before:Black toilet of horror. Black tiles of horror. Just generally ugly water closet.
WC After:note tampons. Normally hidden, but not today! Out in the open for EVERYONE TO SEE. Just in case you were questioning my being a [...]
Flooring is nearly complete!
One of the things we decided to do right away was to do away with the floors in the bedrooms. At some point they put in really yucky carpet and it was so filthy if you walked on it, your feet turned black. So nasty.
floors with carpet of hidden grossness
So after ripping up [...]
Remodeling Update
Congratulations, we have a floor!Well, at least in the toilet room. Like a lot of older San Francisco flats, we have a split bath. I’m totally ok with this as it’s fairly common in Japan and I’ve been living in San Francisco for quite some time. We asked that the toilet room [...]
I feel like I’ve been riding a horse
We spent the entire weekend painting the house. We’ve still got a lot to do, but it’s coming along really nicely. The kitchen is being taken apart slowly, we’ll get around to finishing it over the next couple weeks. Somehow, even though we were just painting, my inner and back thighs are [...]
Remodeling
It’s been a long, horrible road to getting our new place, but we have the keys and are just days away from never having to talk to anyone that was involved in the deal ever again. I don’t wish bad things on them (well, maybe some of them) but my life will be better [...]
