I was going through some photos, and decided that in honor of the end of 2011 (may it rest in peace), I would try to find the most ridiculous photo or event of each month. January. I broke a shovel. Who does that? February I wore myself out building planters with Jessica: March was a [...]

2011 In Ridiculous Photos
December 31, 2011The Ghettoest House in the Ghetto
December 30, 2011My neighborhood is… how do you say…. transitional. That is my fancy word for “kinda ghetto.” We have our occasional drive by shooting, car jacking, and assorted gang related graffiti. But today is a special day, because today I am the most ghetto house in the neighborhood, and keep in mind that my next door [...]
The Sky is Falling!
December 29, 2011Or something interesting is going on up there at least!
Genius: Lights
December 29, 2011Oh, also? You know who has a genius system for storing Christmas tree lights? I do. Each strand of lights gets wrapped around something cardboardey. Ideally, the lid to a shirt-sized box. Less ideally, but equally workable, a file folder. The whole deal gets shoved into a plastic bag and stored. And who has two [...]
See Ya Later, Christmas
December 29, 2011Christmas has officially been boxed up and returned to the garage. The tree is on the curb waiting for the city to come pick it up.
Why Do I Even Try?
December 28, 2011My persimmon tree has left me with a ton of persimmons. Now, I hate to tell you this, and I’ve mentioned it before, but I don’t like persimmons that much. However, I also don’t like waste, and so I’m trying to use them up. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of “spice” flavored things…. anything [...]
Light!
December 27, 2011Around, oh, a year and a half ago, I purchased a motion detector flood light for my back door. And then left it in the box. UNTIL YESTERDAY! I finally installed that bad boy. This is what was there before: I suppose it worked, but I never put bulbs in to test it. The switch [...]
Dogs
December 26, 2011December Garden
December 26, 2011The past week has had some frostiness overnight, frosty enough that I have to bust through the ice in the chickens’ water in the mornings. Brr. I know for places in the real world that have real winter, temps in the upper 20′s and low 30′s overnight isn’t a big deal, but it is enough [...]
Three Dog Weeks
December 25, 2011I neglected to mention that I am dogsitting Westerman and Javier’s dog Molly. For three weeks. I think the above photo sums it up the best: Molly does, in fact, have her dog-hand on Casey’s head. And not randomly. She is the queen, and she would like to make sure everyone is quite aware of [...]
