Then I get to Anon's comment. <br /><br />No wonder my poor husband is so exhausted at night and spends his mornings swilling caffeine to stay awake at work. In addition to all the spreadsheet-age at our house, he's doing it at y'all's houses, too? And fathering umpteen children? Yikes!<br /><br />We have a ceiling fan in every room except the bathrooms. There has been discussion about putting a ceiling fan in our bathroom; I am resisting that move. <br /><br />Tonight we are getting ready to finalize our cabinet order for a small-scale, low-budget kitchen remodel. The computer desktop is a patchwork of spreadsheets and Powerpoint plans and mock-ups. <br /><br />At least my dishwasher works...for now, anyway. It overheard me tell Tom that your broken d/w was a Bosch, and ever since then it has been making a sad whining noise as it runs.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734326566763419375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-8275420854277536422009-06-02T00:06:22.736-04:002009-06-02T00:06:22.736-04:00Good luck with your space suit.
