huh?

The doorbell rings. Through the peephole I see a FedEx package.

I open the door.

Man holding FedEx package: Travel agency.
Confused Erika: No.
MhFEp: No? Dammit. Do you know which one it is?
CE: No.
MhFEp: Really? It's one of these along here. You don't know which one it is?
CE: No.
MhFEp: Ok, sorry about that.
CE: Oh, no worries.

Weird.

yep.

Shocho is right.

Indexed is cool.

Heard this on my NPR stream while playing one of my nine active games.

Oh, Hasbro, why do you hate us??

(Also, Joe emailed me about this the other day. But I wasn't playing Scrabulous when I read the email. I was reading my email.)

i don't care what joe says.

The salsa Brad made on Sunday is the best salsa he has ever made. Just the right balance of tomato and jalapeño, with a bit of bite at the end. Effing good.

I was parked on the couch playing Mario while he made it, only helping with the transfer from food processor to bowl. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

my post about The Dark Knight

I thought I blogged about Heath Ledger when I first found out he was going to play The Joker. I guess I just talked about it a lot. I was more than a little skeptical.

I was wrong.

Hiiii.

worst movie to watch when still fresh from a funeral, and your husband was out of town.

P.S. I Love You

Cried through most of the movie.

Vodka in the lemonade doesn't make it worse.

Does anyone have Twitter? If so, email me your username or find me so I can follow you.

If not, get with it people! Sign up! I need a new way to stalk you!

there's a reason they call me HANDYERIKA, people

**NOTE** What you do not see here is the initial version of part B of this project, which involved hooks, and which turned out to be a huge disaster. So I went back to Lowe's and bought the rack I should have bought in the first place. You also do not see the grease, sweat and tears. Thank you. Please proceed**

Despite the note above, I still KICK ASS.

Note the blank wall:



Note the nimble use of the drill/electric screw driver:



Note the new MAGIC WALL HANGER THINGIE:



Note the STUD FINDING:



Note the CAREFUL MEASURING:



Note the WALL BIKE RACK, PEOPLE!!!



Note the NEWLY ORGANIZED GARAGE:



BOO to the YAH!!!!!

kitteh

yes, neighbors, i judge you by the content of your recycle bin

Really dude? Molson Ice?

Jug wine? Are you serious? Plus other wine bottles. I saw those.

A Brother brand printer, sure. Print away. But don't bother to break down that oversize box.

Why can't any of you bother to put your stuff in a bag, as requested by the homeowner's association? Perhaps then you would not be judged so harshly by me, The One Walking to the Mail Room.

Also, important Mike Rowe update (or, you know, from the past):



Hi again, pretty! You look young!

foodstuffs i used hate, now i don't.

Foodstuffs is a stupid word.

• Mustard (many a fast food burger was scraped for me by Mom and Dad)
  
• Mayo
  
• Tomatoes (no sauce on my pasta, no tomatoes on my BLT, no SALSA)
  
• Any cheese that wasn't white (pretty sure it was limited to American)
  
• Crab (no seafood)
  
• Calamari (no seafood, really)
  
• Tuna (I mean it)
  
• Onions
  
• Salt and vinegar chips
  
• Beer
  
• Diet Coke, Pepsi... Diet Anything.
  
• Hot sauce
  
• Sushi (I still only eat the vegetable kind)
  
• Beans, any kind.
  
• The heads of broccoli
  
• Artichokes
  
• Mushrooms. Although I guess I don't LIKE those so much as TOLERATE them.
  
• Sour cream (what was I thinking??)
  
• Salad dressing (any and all, and then I started to like Italian).
  

not sure

I wouldn't mind seeing Mike Rowe in all his rugged prettiness, but I'm not sure about Dirty Jobs in hi def.

Yick.

I haven't got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out.

brief note on weather

"Rain showers" in Colorado are for lame-os.

if you read dooce, you've probably already seen this.

But I thought it was funny enough to re-post:
