Happy belated Valentine’s Day to everyone in blog land.  For the two special ladies in my life, I made lobster rolls for dinner.  Lisa handled the dessert and baked a flour-less cake on Wednesday.  Needless to say, we ate too much.  I ended up going with the lobster tails instead of the whole lobster.  I […]

Hey guys!  Hope your weekend was enjoyable!  We played it low key around here and didn’t do too much.  We were hoping to get some major snow from Nemo like our friends up North, but we only ended up with a little more than a dusting.  This will be the second winter in a row […]

Last week we started discussing our plans for the sitting room immediately attached to our Master Bedroom.  Over the weekend we managed to knock a few items off of our to-do list for this space starting with the couch.  Lisa’s parents generously bought us a beautiful couch for Christmas from Ikea!  We did a walk […]

Happy Monday!  We had a mildly productive weekend.  Not gonna lie though, we’re much slower at home projects since the summer ended.  Here’s the deal, I’m taking a grad school class that requires weekly homework assignments on top of being parents, working full-time and doing general everyday life stuff like cooking, cleaning, eating, etc.  I’m […]

If you can’t tell, the whole home project thing is going a bit slowly at the moment. We do have a couple home improvement tricks up our sleeve yet, so don’t go anywhere! In the meantime, I thought I’d continue where I left off with our air compressor post last week. This time I thought […]

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Lisa and I were upstate in NEPA on Friday for an annual golf tournament that’s held in memory of my father.  It’s usually a great time and the proceeds are donated to a local charity.  This was the fifth year we’ve had it.  The tournament is organized and run […]

The long march towards a completed dining room wainscoting continues.  At this point, the only thing I have left to do is finish up some caulking and do some last minute sanding.  Then it’ll be PAINT time.  Right now the plan is to spray the first two coats of primer and then we’ll brush on […]

Back to life, back to reality (Thanks Soul II Soul).  After taking off five glorious days from work, it’s back to my day job.  Oh to be retired at 32.  Maybe if this blog thing works out I can retire early, like 70 instead of 72.  I know, I know, I’m getting ahead of myself. […]
