Ouch

I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that I agreed to do this or that this is actually being broadcast multiple times a day. Enjoy.

The award for best airport shuttle goes to...


Dayton International Airport. Probably not the answer that you were expecting, but they have service that is completely unmatched. Every other airport parking lot has little bus stops. While searching for a parking spot at 7:30 am last Friday I noticed a conspicuous lack of shuttle stops. No sooner had I voiced my concern than I realized that we were being followed by, you guessed it, a shuttle bus. It followed through a turn or two until we found a spot and then waited for us no more than 15 feet from our car. Impressive.

We were at the airport on our way to Boston for Rachel's wedding-which we'll post pictures of as soon as we get our camera.

Also on the way-completely humiliating video of me. And it gets better-its the kind of humiliating video that gets broadcast to the greater Cincinnati area at least 5 times a day.

the 3-day war


with a light fixture.
Now that we're officially homeowners, we get ot take care of all the fun stuff that we used to just call our landlord for. Not that we were pesky renters, mind you, but.. we enjoyed not having to do things ourselves. So, we entered into what we thought would be a simple, beginner-homeowner job. Putting in an overhead light. It seemed simple enough, the wires were all there, just no light. Boy, were we wrong. But, 3 trips to the mall, 2 trips to Lowes and a lot of sweat and internet research later... we finally have a light in our bedroom. Hoo-ray!! I think Ben earned about 227 hubby points for not giving up.
We also found out that we hope never to hire an electrician. Apparently the first 15 minutes costs you $50 smackers!!! hello do-it-yourself section at the library!!!!!
