A sneak preview

The work around the house should be coming to a close this weekend. Believe it or not, but photos will follow shortly. In the meantime I wanted to give people a preview of the new look for our kitchen:

And, of course, the theme for the nursery:

It’s hard to believe that after 2 years this house [...]

The Woman did, in [...]

The incredible leaking house

Just remember, when you stop one leak, God will provide you with another… I think that’s the proverb. At least that seems to be the appropriate one for this house.
For those of you not currently enjoying the wonderful heatwave up here in the Northeast, you’ve also just missed out on one frightening bit o’ thunderstorm [...]

From the new digs

The move is complete… Wait a minute… I moved? Not me, but my company. Well, part of my company. And that part included me. So… uh… yeah… I guess I moved. This has been a long time coming and now finds me sitting in my glorious new office. A very nice place to be considering [...]

The dandelion crop looks good this year

Those of you who have visited my humble abode have probably noticed there’s a certain section that I’m not exactly… er… proud of.

Here at the Slattery household, we can’t help but feel a tad blessed of late. Lots of good things have happened, from my game show appearance to The Woman’s growing belly. But we knew that something somewhat bad had to happen to slightly balance it out. And so, instead of telling you about the kitchen [...]

Grown-up decision time

Hey, remember that TV show I was on? And I won a bunch of money? And I made a comment about remodeling our kitchen? You don’t? What the hell is wrong with you?!?!
For those of you paying attention, the comment about the kitchen wasn’t just me trying to get quality, non-dork, face time on TV. [...]

We can hardly contain ourselves

Get it? It’s a pun! “Contain ourselves”?!?! It’s freakin’ hysterical - alright, maybe it’s more groan-worthy, but at least it should get a reaction… oh, wait, crap, I forgot to tell you what this is about… let’s start over…
The Woman and I can hardly contain ourselves over the new closet… nevermind. This idea sucks. Let’s [...]

Someone is trying to stop me

All I can think is that someone out there doesn’t want me to keep up my torrid paste of one useless post per day. While away on vacation, Verizon’s fiber to our house was knocked off the poll. Let me repeat: THE F’ING FIBER WAS RIPPED FROM OUR HOUSE! That means phone, Internet, and TV [...]
