Tutu 5K

This Saturday was my first ever real race! Probably a lot of people out there think a 5K is a baby race. I happen to think you should never run unless you are being pursued by a wild boar with murder on his mind; and even then you should stop if you feel a sweat coming on. This Saturday was a little different though. It turns out running with Tara is much funner than running with no Tara.
Here are Tara and I coming into the finish, and there in the bottom leftish area of the picture you can see the shadow of Bryce's head and hand, taking the picture. :D
Here I am being happy to see Bryce and happy the race is almost over!
I decided to enter hover-mode for the last leg of the race. Tara and I made our tutus using the directions on this website. I recommend tutus whenever you want to run. One of the main reasons that I hate running because I feel ugly when I do it, and the tutu definitely helps with that.

Sideboard Refinishing

Image
I keep telling people how excited I am about this sideboard, and everyone says something like, "Cyborg?" It is a real thing ok? Traditionally sideboards are used for serving food in a main living area of the house, not the kitchen, but I wanted one for storing all of our electronics. I found mine in the thrift store for $35.  I fell in love with it right away, but it wasn't perfect yet. I carefully cleaned all the surfaces, firstly to prepare it for refinishing, and secondly because it came from a thrift store, so who knows where it has been.  Gross. Then I took off all the hardware, including the cabinet doors.  Then I wiped on two coats of my favorite Gerneral Finishes Gel Stain , the color I used was "Java". I really love that stuff. Everything it touches becomes pretty. Also it is dark and thick so you don't have to sand down to the bare wood if you don't want to, and I never want to.  I also sealed it with two coats of poly urethane, and put on some...

You Might Be Reading A Straw Man Argument If:

Tis the season for elections and gorilla assasinations. People are suddenly vocal about feelings, mostly on Facebook and blogs. It is also a time of sharing articles that describe how you feel about issues. I love that Facebook and blogs let people connect, debate, and share ideas. I don't love that those same tools can alienate and insult your loved ones. So before you click "Share" and type, "YESSS THIS!!!!" or "I'm just going to leave this here..." ask yourself: Is this a straw man argument? A simple definition of a straw man comes from Wikipedia : "A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent." A simpler definition comes from me: "A straw man is an argument that attacks ideas that you claim your opponent has, but actually...they don't think those things at all...
