Wednesday's child is full of woe.

Yea, that about sums it up.

A little prayer...

Dear Jesus

Please sell our house.

Let there be light... and a fan!

Howdy!

To my friends and family I would like to announce that I have successfully installed a brand new ceiling fan, with a light kit in my bedroom. It took me about three hours, but it is complete and functioning properly. Last night I was able to enjoy the quiet murmur of air being gently circulated around me while I dreamt of fascinating places like Lowe's and Home Depot. Obviously, I am very proud of myself.
