For once I'm glad not having had to resort to more... questionable measures ( you wouldn't believe how fun it can be) when simple threats and persuasion just isn't enough. ( Who'd have thought that it'd actually be enough???) Ladies and gentlemen - mostly ladies -... I have now not only found out...
A plugger is someone who wants to be Batman when he grows up.
While trying to come up with something remotely serious to rant about today ( mainly to get my mind off of ... things), I realized that today's actually the 28th. Nothing special with that per se, but being July it means that I've now held my job for a full half year. The implications of that should...

I've left this place hanging for quite a while. Not planning on changing that, I just wanted to redirect any soul out there that might come across this to my new and improved blog at MaribelMade.com. The new blog focuses on less talk and more on actual production of my arts and crafts. That's right,...
I spent all of last week at my dad's temporary place in Pocatello, Idaho. He's there for a construction job, but he'll be back in Bellingham pretty quick, hopefully. Anyways, I explored the hills behind his house, and we even went up north to go see Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons! Man, that was an...
As ever, whenever I'd like to think that Life's starting to settle down, that I can anticipate the damn thing at least a month forward, that there shouldn't be any unexpected ... events to be ( un-)expected, Life turns into that giddy little 5-year old bastard that runs around going...
On my many searches I have found numerous sites dealing in project management, Today I ran across www.4pm.com. This site is very comprehensive. It allows the user regardless of their level to achieve milestones. It includes links from basic to advance and even includes certification standards and...
This is the final design. I have pieced all the flying geese and have the top/bottom rows attached to the body of the quilt. I have to do the sides and then the outer border and the top will be done. I am planning on quilting Mayan hieroglyphs into the "empty" corners in a contrasting thread. Other...

Today, I hate everybody. Construction up the block woke me up early this morning. For days and days (all last week), they didn't work on the 19th Street project, but this morning, they started at 6 am? Drilling near the water main, so every pipe in the house rattled. I left my breakfast sitting on...
The long-awaited rock patio under the cherry tree is under construction, and in fact should be completed in the next few days. This should make outdoor meals more pleasant. To prepare the site, Mike dug out the rough oval, deep enough to allow for several inches of hard-packed gravel and then sand....
A look back: May 11, 2008 Having made the choice to go with Xypex, we lost our contractor. Two weeks passed and all we had to show for it was some slightly refined drawings and quotes from five more contractors interested in working on the project. All had good references, either family or friends...
We are "out of the ground"!! - making great progress - foundation poured - all walls are up
Element just “pushed” the evolution of the skate deck with the introduction of their “Push Construction Positive Negative Series;” which is a really long name for a series of skate decks…but seemingly worth every last syllable. The deck is a very intricate and scientific combination of...
I'd Originally planned on deciding my date of resignation based on my schedule, courteously sent to me via mail by Teh University. Teh University being a stingy dongpile, however, has seen fit to stiff me of my rightful lot of papers, forms and curricular whatnot so that I could instead enjoy the...
They call us the Married Couple. That's right. The Married Couple. Me, and a 50 year old ex-biker that could probably win a fistfight with a grizzly-bear. To clarify, it's a He, and he's my coworker. Apparently, we're the most feared twosome at work, or at least the scariest to have around. Mainly...
good news: the city lets you pull a permit the same day, if it's uncomplicated enough to pass the building department the same day. Go in on tuesday after lunch and emerge with the right to build. bad news: it took 2.5 hrs of waiting, waiting, waiting in a lobby with no wifi to get there....
