We completed a very exciting house development last night. Exciting if you’re a Pixy, that is. So.  In the Cornfields, we had this walk-in pantry off of the kitchen that Knobby shelved up for some phenomenally convenient storage space. (Yes yes, I know, it technically WAS organized, but All The Stuff crammed here is making [...]

Le sigh.  Wrote something, got distracted, and lost it. Thanksgiving was low key.  Ordered meal from Luella’s BBQ, very easy and tasty.  Easy, I say, but I felt easily overwhelmed that day.  So overwhelmed that I didn’t even put our meal components into proper serveware. The table was laid with the nice china and silverware, [...]

This one will be mostly house-related, feel free to pass if you don’t care about the renovation. Knobby’s installed motion sensor lights in the hallway.  It’s a Godsend especially down in his work area, but the upstairs hall and main staircase could use a little bit of tweaking still.  They turn on ALL the time [...]

One word:  OOF.   You know those days upon which you embark . . . one of those days where you either have nothing at all to do, or a small list to accomplish?  And then your day goes from wide-open to . . . “What in the world just ran over me?”? Well.  That [...]

Well, if you thought the peacocks from the last post exciting . . . wait till you hear that Knobby happened upon a BEAR as he was walking down to the mailbox this morning! Oh . . . well, I suppose I just told you.  A BEAR!  He said 200 – 300 pounds by the [...]

Why, hello there! Bet you wondered where I was . . . we decided to take a last-minute minibreak. Well, I took a minibreak, and poor Knobby work work worked.  But this was a better, not bitter, pill to swallow, since he woke up on the first morning of MY minibreak and discovered he’d been [...]

Ava says hello . . . . . . but she doesn’t get out of bed for anyone before one in the afternoon. —– Knobby saw this pair of lions the other day.  By the time he mentioned, they were way back down the road and I had totally missed them. I’ve entertained the thought [...]

I had a dream last night, in which I was still living in our old house. It was one of those dreams that you piece together in bits and pieces throughout the day afterwards . . . little awareness visions. Made me sad, thinking about our little master bathroom, not opening it’s tall pantryesque door [...]

Hey there hi there ho there, There’s this little game that came out this week, called Diablo 3 (or, “III”, you know, whatever floats your nerdboat), and although I didn’t give it much thought in the years and years everyone spoke about it with grand reverence (didn’t play the first two), apparently we are playing [...]

So, like I promised in the previous entry, there’s a house that I want to discuss. It’s . . . an odd house.  Rather, an odd choice, I think.  I can’t for the life of me figure out why I’m so intrigued and . . . excited (?) . . . about the idea of [...]
