Hobbit-ish Thoughts and Ramblings

While I might not be a hobbit genetically, I do believe that I am one culturally. A homebody at heart, with a fear of (but slight craving for) adventure, who values simple things like good food, good books, and good friends. Chronicling the journey of the unlikely pairing of a Hobbit and an Ent, who have travelled down the road through infertility & RPL, toward building our family. We've come a long way, and now with two precious wee-lings in tow, our road goes ever on and on...

I Did It!

Hey there humble readers!

I have an announcement... I did it! I overcame my fear of the drill! If you recall from this post, I have been procrastinating on some home repairs because I was just a titch afraid of screwing things up. Well, yesterday I bit the bullet and started doing some basic stuff.

I bolted the bookcases to the wall. No more leaning towers of books! And I put up the curtains in the kitchen! Curtain rod, brackets, and tie-backs.

There's still a fair bit on my list, but I'm feeling good about what I've gotten done. And I only stripped one screw!

Small steps...

Good for you! I'm TERRIFIED of drills, hammers and the like. I'll paint, as long as it's white on white, but that is IT! Mmmmm maybe I'll pick up the hammer or something. We'll see....
