Since it has been almost two weeks since our stove crapped out on us, Ron got on the phone again today. He started calling people from work around lunch time, and spent almost an hour on the phone here at home before he could finally talk to someone who knew what was going on.

With part of my shift more towards work-at-home-schooling-mom, I pared down some of the networks I was on, and joined a business one.
I’m finding I use twitter more often now that I’m in “work” more, and I find LinkedIn to be possibly quite useful in the near future. (Boy, that was cryptic. )
Follow my [...]

Oh dryer, dear dryer so shiny and white.
When I open the door, you turn on the light.
So sparkly, so clean, so energy-saving,
You dry clothes in the same time it takes to clean them.*
An averge energy cost of seventy dollars per year,
I can give the power company a kick in the rear…
Since I only plan on [...]

If you’ve recently downloaded a newer version of MU, you may have noticed on a fresh isntall that the plguings folder and the mu-plugins folder are not there. Or, maybe you’ve seen them referenced, and fidnign them not where they are suposed to be, got horribly confused. No worries.

This time last year, we bought this house. See how sad it was?

All cold and empty and neglected. Poor house. So we bought it - rescued it really, loving it and now fixing it up. Admittedly, we haven’t got very far yet and there’s still boxes everywhere. But look at it now.

Doesn’t it look [...]

The absolute first thing you want to do when your site is installed and running is change it off the default theme. There are actually two copies of kubrick bundled in MU. One is under the default folder, the other is under a theme folder called “home”. The only difference is this one makes use [...]

I took the suggestion from Heidi in the comments and did indeed pull a two-in-one shot. First, my hair. GAH. Maybe we’ll move on. At least we cannot see the grey. We shan’t speak of it either, ‘kay?
Allrighty then. LOOKIT MY NEW FREEZER. Isn’t it shiny and white? And so, so empty. Actually, I noticed [...]

The new things are coming today. We get a bedframe! And a new dryer! (OMG, it’s *huge* inside!) And a chest freeze! Then we can FILL IT with yummy goodness! And Sarah gets a box spring!
YAY! (insert Kermit arm flail here.)
When she asked about delivery, and what time, all I said was not before 10am, [...]
