Going Like Sixty

Rule of Sixty: Appointment, Lunch, Wear Lunch to Appointment

Rule of Sixty: If I have an appointment and need to grab a quick bite, it will end up in my lap.

Proof: Taco Bell Fresco Bean Burrito when bitten on one end will squish all the ingredients (mostly refried beans) out the other end with sufficient force to squirt out the other end on the perfect trajectory to land in my crotch.

Wiped off refried beans when dry looks exactly like I pooped my pants.
Appointment delayed only slightly.

Speaking of poop, I love this commercial.
I went #2, but I look like #1… I poo in blue…

Track Lighting: What You Do When You Have Mad Skillz

Posted: 26 May 2010 07:33 AM PDT

It’s been a while since St. Todd DeCubbville has taken on a project that doesn’t involve a Big Ass Tee Vee.

But he got motivated and installed some really cool track lighting in their house and now I have the bug.

Nancy and I have old eyes, so we’re always burning the single overhead lights, flipping on the under the cupboard lights, and then grabbing a flashlight to find what the hell we were looking for.

Track lighting is pretty cool because you can adjust and aim those little suckers any direction you need. In the sewing cave, Nancy has a bunch of individual lights focused on whatever surface she’s working on. Sewing machine, check, cutting table, check, yarn stash, check, but she’s always moving a lamp because the light isn’t just quite right.

I think it’s time for St. Todd DeCubbville to make a trek north and install some cool track lighting in our kitchen, the sewing cave, and maybe even in the master suite (love that term – like I am the Master, Har.)

We don’t have a trendy set up like St. Todd DeCubbville. Our dining room is our Paris Bistro. So we won’t be looking at trendy track lighting. But I’m thinking we can go with something artsy-fartsy to enhance the Bistro look.
