Watering the grass seed.  I am not looking forward to our first water bill.

5.30.10

Really cool fountain at the Columbia Park Zoo – it’s this huge marble globe with water coming up underneath it.  Normally would be way too heavy to move, but the water gives you the ability to spin it around.  Super fun.

5.29.10

Today we put our grass seed down!  Dad went over most of the yard with his tractor and box blade, and I got the hard-to-reach bit with this rototiller.  Fun times.

5.28.10

Went to Columbia Park – only a few blocks from our house.  Nice place.

5.27.10

We saw this at Wal-Mart.  Man I want it so much.  Too bad it’s got about 250k miles on it, and a pretty rusty frame.  So cool though!

5.26.10

I think 80% of my food intake since moving in to the new house has been burgers and bratwurst.  Have grill, must use.

5.25.10

There are probably around 100 little maple trees growing up all over our yard, which at the moment is mostly mud.  Sadly, these will all be tilled over when we plant our grass.  Oh well.

5.24.10

Today we made sushi for the first time with some of Mary’s friends from Central Catholic.  Today was also the first day that I ate sushi with a nun.  She was great!

5.23.10

At the parents’ house, painting windows on the second floor.  I really hate ladders.

5.22.10

50% of our back yard right now.

5.21.10

The view from our closing.  The house is officially ours!

5.20.10

We went to Red7 in Lafayette with Mary's sister (Hannah). Deeeelish.

5.19.10

My commute this morning was just foggy enough to make everything wonderful.

5.18.10

Charlotte is simultaneously very interested and very terrified of being in the new windows.

5.17.10

Stuff that I’ve been moving around with me since high school.

5.16.10

Box o’ 45s my mom gave me.

5.15.10

Our new IP address.

LOLHAHA

5.14.10

Tha new hood.

5.13.10

The Company that bought/flipped/sold our new house.

5.12.10

What a grump.

5.11.10

The crazy I live with.

5.10.10

What I do in my free time.

5.9.10

Only memories, fading memories
blending into old tableaux.

5.8.10

Farmer's market!

5.7.10

Cool little archway entrance to a church courtyard on Ferry Street.

5.6.10

This viney house across the street from us has really bloomed for summer.

5.5.10

Don't you want this to be your living room? Classy book, retro couch. Happy Cinco De Fake Holiday everyone!

5.4.10

Look at the arrangement! Those bottles are now thrown away, the flowers dead, and the pictures/vase packed up. Hurray moving!

5.3.10

Cool gate in the alley behind our apartment. There is an old RV just behind this gate, and I assume that the gate is there so the RV can drive out. I have found no other acceptable exit.

5.2.10

The garage is up! Mostly. Just some siding to finish and a ramp to put in front. Looks good for moving in this weekend.

5.1.10

Sweet limestone wall of the basement of The Ding-A-Ling in downtown Lafayette. I really want this to become the new Lafayette branch of the Preston Arts Center.
