Part of living in any city is being part of the community. Which is one of the reasons that Stephanie and I joined a CSA… For those of you out of the loop- a CSA is a program by a small (or not so small) local farm, in which they sell shares of their crop…

I spent most of yesterday, and in fact a lot of the past week, in the small closet which is really a sauna that is our pantry. Adam already explained that we don’t yet have a/c, so the kitchen, and especially the tiny pantry, is sweltering. I’m quite sure I’ve sweated away pounds while lining…

It’s been kind of a biblical couple of days– the rain and the heat has been completely intense– and naturally we are wishing that we had allocated that air conditioning money to the central air we are capable of, but can’t really afford. I know I need to call HVAC guys to get this all…

I spoke too soon yesterday. There it is, another Roomba Sage, at Woot for only $149. Let me tell you – it’s a deal! Go get one. You won’t regret it! But hurry – Woot only offers items for one day and then only until they run out.

The lightning was incredible and the thunder was loud and long, but we didn’t have any damage at all (as far as I can tell) Others were not so lucky. The Tornado hit harder about 20…

So one of the days at Epcot it was a little rainy, and we said, Hey we are here– let’s prove it. Let’s get some pictures taken with characters! We were right by the Character Connection (which is an indoor place where you can get photos with the characters) we walked in, and there was…

We are all Disney’d out. Well– okay, not really. I’m sure that we would love to spend another two weeks and umpteen thousand dollars that we don’t have) exploring every nook and cranny and aspect of The Most Magical Place on Earth. ™ But we sure had a lot of fun, after spending nearly 12…
