News Update

Hello blog, it has been a while! This is why I haven't had time to post stuff:

3. Celebrating Handsome Bryce's birthday!
Bryce didn't want me to take any pictures of him, and since it was his birthday I couldn't force him, so instead here is a picture of me. As you can see, rainbow swirl cake is back by popular demand!

2. Celebrating our anniversary!
I feel so lucky to be married to the dreamiest man in the world! We are also lucky to have my parents who watched McBaby for us while we went on a cruise! It was great to spend time, read some books, and play Killer Bunnies together. Thanks everyone, for your book recommendations!

1. Celebrating this:
And by celebrating I mean barfing, for three months straight. It was not a fun time, but now things are better and we are so excited! I am grateful for this pregnancy, and grateful for everyone who helped us survive, (mostly Handsome Bryce who did all the chores) while I was an unwashed lump on the couch!

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:

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."
