the plight of the do-it-yourselfer

sooooo...of course i didn't buy enough cement boards so i headed for the hardware store at 6pm wearing a shirt and shoes. and of course they ran out of cement boards since i need them by tomorrow. so i drove all the way to home depot and bought 4 more cement boards. then, in my infinite wisdom, i stacked all 200 lbs of cement on one side of the cart and it started leaning like il Torre di Pisa...and toppled over before i could yell a dozen expletives. 2 hours, three cities, and a plethora of side streets and stop signs later, here i am, thawing by the radiation from my preeeeeeccioussss...my computer. all in good time to peel my socks off my feet, not wash my hands, throw on my pretty blue apron, bust out me whittle, and whip up some delicious steak curry up for the parents. stay tuned for more.
