December 2011
Ms. Verizon-Lady-on-da-phone just suggested a cheaper plan that I can’t see on their website. I must be dreaming. *pinch* Nope! ;-)

100 Noms
I have recorded 98 unique restaurants I have eaten at or from in 2011. I’m hoping to reach 100 by Saturday night. After picking up a pork shoulder from Porter Road Butcher this afternoon I’m thinking about Nuvo Burrito, #99. But what should be #100?
If you happen to give a shit then suggest something that isn’t on this list. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t give a...

Nashville Mattress Recycling
Yesterday I donated Nolan’s old mattress at Spring Back Recycling, “a non-profit that exists to break down mattresses and build up lives.” I had intended to trash it at a Metro convenience center but when I searched for the address I found a WPLN transcript (NPR) describing Spring Back’s goals of “small business training for formerly incarcerated men and women”...

Reflecting about my time at home last weekend and browsing random photos I have taken has made me realize that my photography has changed drastically since our loin fruit became ripe. It has even changed from where I thought it would be at this time.

WatchBeth & I bought my niece a microphone stand with built in speakers and sound effects because she loves to sing and dance. We were treated to a long performance of her greatest hits last weekend that I was lucky to capture on my phone. I spent a good portion of today transcribing her words because they make me giggle.

I usually replied with a custom answer tailored to that person. But now the answer is easy to comprehend but hard...

I working from home today to see Nolan through the end of his sickness. Today is the first time I have worked at my desk so it also the first time I cannot hear Nolan in his room. We have never used baby monitors because there was no need in the loft and we hear him well from our bed. (Perhaps too well.)
I downloaded a baby monitor app for my old phone and placed it in his room. There are two...
WatchI heard a noise outside while I was feeding Nolan. I checked the windows and didn’t see anything happening. I walked outside after I passes him off and discovered the spigot in the front of the house spewing water against the cover we bought to keep it warm. It was a hack because it comes out of the ground 6 inches so I stacked adjacent rocks around it.
There is a hole at the top of the...

I am sitting at my new desk in our office/gym/pantry/storage room. I think we will stick with “the back room”.
I ate at Zaxby’s today for the first time. McDougals > Otters > Zaxby’s.
Today I used a weed eater. It is December.

My keychain has returned to its size from two years ago now that our keychain were replaced with cards. My keychain and pocket are very happy.
