SubscribeRemember this shrub? The one of which I was so proud? The one that was alive in spite of my total gardening ignorance? That shrub?
This is what it looks like today:
It’s dead as dead can be.

Summer is Hot, Posting is Light
Is it August? Already? Really? Nobody told me! Seriously. Nobody.
I’ve been wanting to write a post, a long post about how our neighbors hate us. It is a riveting story; complete with snow, junk cars, kids in yards, cat shit, and (gasp) the police! I’ve been trying [...]
The one given soda also smelled like rotting
This is Sunny’s Science Fair project. She watered the one on the left with Sprite and the one on the right with water. Surprisingly the grass LOVED the water, and did not love the Sprite. I think the conclusion of the experiment is that grass has a very dissimilar taste in beverages [...]
Travel Plans
Today I’m busy trying to get Sunny and Leo ready to go out of town for Easter weekend. They will be spending the weekend with their grandparents and cousins in the sunny Southwest, while Chris, Badger, and I will be at home getting drunk. This is going to be a nice little trip [...]
Home Improvements
I have been painting up a storm over the last two weeks or so. I started with the basement, which I wrote about here. Then I moved on to the kids rooms, as I could no longer ignore the loud violent demands of my little monsters (er, I mean ANGELS) to have their [...]
Tag, I’m It.
My good Internet friend Stardust has tagged me to list my five favorite quotes. She had the good sense to leave me a comment about it, knowing that even though I had read her post in which I was tagged, I had no idea she was talking about me. I am that oblivious. [...]
Because I felt a little bored today
I have changed the template for my blog. If you find this at all jarring, then I am sorry. Sometimes I like to change things up, as long as it’s not my clothes, or my hair, or where I go to sleep at night. Everything else is fair game. Maybe.
Happy 1st anniversary of this website
In order to celebrate the unofficial one year anniversary of Dirty Dishes I decided to make some changes to the site. I got the new blogger beta thingy and I’m trying that on for size. I’m also going do as my son Badger would and walk up to a giant mirror, turn around, [...]
Filling the Rockstar void
I don’t really watch very much TV (unless you count Spongebob because I watch a shitload of Spongebob) probably because I don’t really have the time or the brain cells to waste on a lot of insipid crime and medical dramas not to mention what passes for comedy these days. However, while I [...]
Technology
I grew up in a somewhat cash strapped household. We had a house, one car, food, and nice hand-me -down clothes, everything else was a luxury that we enjoyed while over at a friends house. I’m positive that my mother wore the same navy blue polyester pants and white tennis shoes for my [...]
