Elfa Shelves

Wednesday, April 30th, 2003

When they say Elfa shelving is “easy to install,” it might be easy compared to other shelving, but it’s still not that easy. I’m just saying.

$25,000 in damages is way over the top, but…ewwwwww!

Purple Splash

Can of paint: 1

TWoP Banner Ads

Laundry Room Update

Tuesday, April 1st, 2003

Yay! Here’s the current state of my laundry room – either that, or it’s a race track.
Laundry Room
The last row of tile needs to go down and the trim and stuff needs to be done, but it’s coming together. I love how the color turned out!

News Boycott Ends

Tuesday, April 1st, 2003

Okay, so my news boycott was doomed from the start. What can I say, I’m weak. This story kind of goes against the prevailing pre-war mind-set of the administration (basically that “Joe Blow Iraqi citizen will be happy to see us and welcome us with open arms”).
