the perils of home ownership (part 2? 3? 2^6?)

It's been a long time since I used that post title - I think last time was having to replace the refrigerator because meat was spoiling.  This time we decided to replace the washer because we thought it was contributing to ruined clothes.  Quick zip to the store after some research, install and delivery the next morning.  No problems right?  Except for the leak that started coming from the valve stem unit after the installation.  Which we later figured out was making it's way down to the first floor unit under us :(... 

It could be worse - I've heard nightmare stories of people taking up a bit of flooring or cabinets and all of a sudden having an entirely new kitchen.  This is just a couple of plumber visits and a couple of $10 parts that we hadn't anticipated.

a month gone by...

Wow, November really seemed to fly by - there's been a ton of stuff going on which is why I haven't posted in a while.  I do plan on expanding on this a bit over the next week or so, but that's dependant on actually making the time to do so!  I have a few really cool photos that I've taken that I'm planning on some final edits and then to post too...  That usually is the blocker for getting posts up though :)

The biggest thing for me over the last week has been a really nasted cold that I picked up either from someone at work or while standing in the rain waiting for a bus to go to my holiday party last Friday.  It's been pretty prevelant around my team with six of eight of us being down with it at one point or another.  This really means that I've spent that last week taking DayQuil and NyQuil and going to be bed early.  

Now that I'm better I need to get in gear with getting Christmas gifts in the family and getting them into the mail so the next couple of weeks are going to be a bit hectic :|
