Halloween Costumes

Here are the pictures of our costumes this year! 

 I planned to dye Bryce's pants and shirt with Rit dye, but there wasn't any in our entire town, so I used Tumeric. It actually worked better than Rit dye, and was cheaper.

Here I am dressed as Carmen freakin' Miranda with my little banana and monkey. I am not just striking that pose for cuteness, it turns out it is kind of hard to carry a baby and balance a pile of fruit on your head, I figured it out eventually though.

And now at last this ridiculous Halloween night is over and we can focus on good holidays instead! Yay for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!!!

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...
