::big kids::

this "big kid stuff" freaks me out. i'm much better huddled up with my pc listening to bruce springsteen sing "dancing in the dark".

i've been so anxious to get something done with our rusty wrought iron that i nearly purchased a small used car for what i was prepared to pay. but, with a healthy dose of doubt, stop payments in place and a couple of phone calls, i know i'll sleep much better tonight.

i did, however, hit up craigslist for a very affordable patio set. craigslist is the new ebay for me. i've already unloaded some bad memories by giving away a bbq that was gifted to me by a former coworker. now the indian princesses can have their way with it and i can start afresh! wow!

now, if i can just land some reasonable tickets to spamalot for our trip to new york!
