Keeping Things Interesting at the House of Larrie

Last night I got home early. Anything before midnight is early for me so that’s not much of an accomplishment, but I got home REALLY early: 5:30 p.m. Why so early? I didn’t have a soccer game; I didn’t go to the gym because Pete’s out of the country; I didn’t go to the coffee …

A Little Taste of Home – Larrie’s World

Welcome to my world. Well, it's a glimpse into my world, but it's two of my favorite parts: my oil painting and my TV! You're jealous, I know. Oh, and I cheated, but there were too many pics to choose from this week so here, too, is a pic of the Italian Creme Soda that …

A little snapshot from the big move

Abe, the mighty mover, avoiding the rain but helping by providing moral support at the same time. Did I mention that I really like rain when I'm moving? This was shortly before he told Maren that this is "the summer of no haircuts!" Sweet.

Currently Living Out of Boxes

I’m recovering from this weekend, but I’m quite certain it’s going to be a slow, long recovery judging by the numbers of boxes in my NEW CONDO.

Crammed in Hiding with the Toys

Last night's FHE revolved around playing Sardines. It's the game of choice on Cinco de Mayo, I'll tell you what. And what did it begin with? Otter pops, of course. (And Salsa, but that actually relates to the "holiday" so I'm not going to mention that.) Kas started the sardines game by hiding first. While …

Condo Conundrum

I knew that the process of purchasing my own place wouldn't exactly be a walk in the park. However, as the closing date nears, it's becoming more complicated. The rising difficulties as the official date for signing my life (and Roth IRA) away looms nearer, could be viewed as a sign. How you interpret the …

The procrastination queen

I am currently trying to complete finals for my Tech Writing graduate classes. This requires designing a brochure for an imaginary store, Hot Tootsies (no, I did not pick the name), and writing a paper on how to design for the web for the other class. Both are due today. Ask me if they're done. …

Furniture Shopping

Imagine what would happen if I walked into a retail store with salespeople working off of commission with a sign over my head that read, "I'm here to spend thousands of dollars." I think that those sales folks just MIGHT be pushing and shoving to get to me first. Perhaps. When I worked in downtown …
