Simple things

Who needs a fancery blow-up pool when you've got a water-tight liner in the bed of your truck? Certainly not *MY* little girl, who has been very happily splashing around in the back of my truck completely nekid for about an hour now :)

Clean House

While i was in Ohio, i watched A LOT of the Style Network show "Clean House". It's really an incredible show, and the only "Reality TV" (other than cooking shows) that I'll watch on purpose. Like, if it's on I'll actively turn the channel to that channel to watch it instead of doing the "Ugh, there's nothing on, i guess I'll leave it on this channel" thing that usually gets me to watch stuff like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

So the concept of the show is down-right inspiring! People have an extremely cluttered home. They call in a team consisting of a Sassy Black Woman, a Sassy White Woman, A Beefy Guy and A Gay Guy. The Team talks the home owners in to selling all their crap at a garage sale. They take all the Garage Sale money and use it to professionally re-design a few rooms in the house.

I'm all inspired by what they accomplished on that show, but unable to act upon this new inspiration because of the DAMN POPEIL ROTISSERIE-ACTION HEAT!!! It circulates the heat, trapping the moisture inside and making the outer crust crisp and flakey while using virtually no oil at all!

Eventually, though, we will be having a damn fine Garage Sale here. And once that is done with, we will get new furniture for the living room and maybe even some floor-to-ceiling display shelves for all the collectibles I manage to keep hold of :)
