i’m wrong :o

tried the bit of hindi I could remember off the top of my head (krna aup mog krna) from Green Eggs and Ham with my dad saturday. He looked at me like I’d grown a third head :o apparently i’m pronouncing it ALL wrong. and i’ve got the wrong words. so he loaned me his [...]

furniture

last night i thought to myself “well, those shelves we want aren’t available at either maryland location (of ikea) … i wonder, where’s the one in VA?” b/c saturday is kiir’s baby shower, and since i’m not invited, but i am the official chauffeur, i could theoretically go get them if it’s nearby. maybe. and [...]

a few week ago, i painted the upstairs bathroom. it was a pale green. or, technically, so i’m told. b/c i couldn’t tell the difference between that, the white primer i’d put on earlier, or the white that the walls had been. today i went to finish painting, b/c kiir told me there were a [...]

bloom off the rose?

so, last night i’m tossing and turning trying to sleep while kiir’s reading … then she punches me in the kidney, gets up and throws a book at my face. what’s up with that! eeeesh. she claims it was “an accident” because “the life insurance isn’t high enough yet” … i need to invest in [...]

cripes
