http://10lees.hackish.net/blog/archives/000442.html
I have met a couple authors in the past, including Gish Jen and Audrey Niffenegger, but today I went to a talk way up north in Redmond to hear Kim Harrison speak. She is one of my favorite authors, though...Daily Stuff10lees2009-06-06T17:13:26-08:00Staring...Out The Window
http://10lees.hackish.net/blog/archives/000441.html
I'm just chilling at work, staring out the window (not really, I'm actually working mostly)... but I can't help myself, it's sooo beautiful out! Makes me wish I had a sailboat, or knew how to sail for that matter. I...Daily Stuff10lees2009-04-21T11:16:52-08:00Dateline's Financial Investigation
http://10lees.hackish.net/blog/archives/000440.html
In case you missed it, Dateline NBC did a great mini-series on the financial mess... but I just can't believe the entitlement and stupidity of some people who took out bad loans. In one case the lady took out a...Daily Stuff10lees2009-03-31T21:49:50-08:00New Flooring!
http://10lees.hackish.net/blog/archives/000439.html
Over the past week or so Scott and I have dicussed the fact that we need some new flooring in the kids' bathroom and our laundry room. In both the vinyl flooring is peeling up, so we headed into Abbey...Fun Activities10lees2009-03-21T19:19:00-08:00Sarcastic News
http://10lees.hackish.net/blog/archives/000438.html
If there is one thing I love, it's sarcastic news via The Onion. It always makes me laugh with it's hilarity, even if I just read the titles. But I have found the best thing ever - sarcastic horoscopes. Is...Daily Stuff10lees2009-03-14T16:42:40-08:00720 Pounds of Garbage

That's how much we took out of our backyard (in the form of a swing set and a plastic pool) and out of our garage and to the dump. Don't worry, that's the actual trash amount, we took two or...Daily Stuff10lees2009-02-22T19:31:29-08:00Random Facts

I found out today that the town a few over from me was name Slaughter originally. They changed it to Auburn, because really, who wants to live in a town called Slaughter? Don't believe me? Here's a link or two...Random Thoughts10lees2009-02-07T14:51:47-08:00Things I didn't realize...

Now, I'm pretty politically moderate, and I regularly pay my taxes. However, I can't resist taking a pot shot at the Democrats right now, because I didn't realize the reason they don't mind having their taxes raised is because they...Random Thoughts10lees2009-02-03T10:46:39-08:00Superbowl XLIII Commercials
http://10lees.hackish.net/blog/archives/000433.html
Usually I review the top best and worst commercials, this year is no exception! However, all 3D commericals were automatically disqualified due to the fact that you have to have some lame glasses, which were not available at my local...Fun Activities10lees2009-02-01T19:10:01-08:00Stuff and Stuff

My life is pretty busy right now, we are completing a classification and compensation study at my work and that is taking up a lot of time for us. It is exciting to be part of such a large event,...Daily Stuff10lees2009-01-11T18:45:23-08:00Historically Inaccurate Films
http://10lees.hackish.net/blog/archives/000431.html
Scott found this article on the internet about the most historically inaccurate films, which we read it together, and found hilariously amusing. Did you know 2001:A Space Odyssey is totally inaccurate because we didn't travel to Jupiter in 2001? (Also,...Pensees, but not quite Pascal10lees2008-12-31T22:51:26-08:00Merry Christmas!

We are finally having a white Christmas here, but it turned into a little bit of a bummer for the kids - their Grandparents can't come up from Portland because it is so bad down there! Actually Portland was only...Daily Stuff10lees2008-12-25T08:04:24-08:00We Spent All Our Money On Lobbyists
