General Housekeeping

We came back from the beach with mosquito bites the size of oranges and a bit too much laundry. I’m not sure what they’re putting in soft-serve ice cream these days, but I think I may need to replace Lil C’s entire wardrobe.

We thought we’d come back to a framed house, but instead it’s still just a basement. The only development is that we now have the beginnings of a low rock wall on one side of our property. It’s pretty cool looking, so I’m happy about that, especially since it was a surprise development. I’m not, however, happy about my lumber sitting there. Wednesday will be two weeks without any house action so that’s a bit discouraging. It better start happening this week or else I’m going to start to worry about our settlement date.

We’re gearing up for the start of school, Big I’s and mine, with only one week until go time. I’m also in my mad planning and writing mode for my guest post at Secondhand Karl’s place. We’re also gearing up for fantasy football season. We have one drop-out so far and I’m anticipating a second drop-out, so there are two teams in the all blogger "Smacktalkers Anonymous" fantasy football league. If you’re interested in ~~getting your heiney handed to you~~ running a team, shoot me an email. Potential participants will be screened for football knowledge and violent tendencies.

Playing so far are: Papa Bradstein, Bush Mackel, Goonsquad Sarah, Ikigai, and everyone’s favorite commenter "Marcus Aurelius" or "Chris39." If you’re interested, I need to know soon because the draft is next weekend. Time is of the essence.

Hopefully, we’ll have some cool house pictures to show you this week. Our countertops are coming in next week, but we still don’t have walls. Weird.
