Hetero-norminative Peaches
On another front the police were beating down some black dudes outside the old KFC. The window is boarded up. Not sure if it is related.

Anything but sterile pads
To start out with, these pads are from Hills. When did they close
1989? Then they must have gotten wet, followed by dusty. I keep
asking myself why I hold onto them because anytime I need a sterile
pad - this us not what I am looking for.

Roswell Recycling And Work
[box]Recycle Committee Members Wanted
In response to a number of comments that have been received in the Suggestion Box, a small committee will be formed to address recycling of bottles and cans. If you are interested in participating, please contact Cynthia Schwartz via email at cynthia.schwartz@roswellpark.org.

You will be notified mid-May regarding committee selection and the first meeting date.[/box]
I really wish I could be involved but I seriously don't have time for anything else.
I spent the day doing work for work althought it is my day off. I would say, I could just take the time off next week but I don't have time for that, argh.

Redoing The Window - Part 2
I sanded it yesterday. Sanding sucks, even with a power sander. I want a power sander that hooks to my vacuum. I think mine might actually do that, I need to consult the instructions.
I needed spar varnish because the window is in a shower and it gets wet and dinged. Ya I know, why a wood window, even a half wood window in a shower. I don't think it was always a shower, and maybe not even always a half window. I think this may have just been a closet at some point.
In order to get the varnish I needed I decided to go to a boat supply store. I figured wood on a boat was the closest to wood in a shower conditions you can get. Plus, I hate waiting at line a home depot and didn't need a gallon of varnish for just one window.
Luckily, there is an awesome marine supply called Obersheimer's Marine Supply Store at 1884 niagara st. The varnish was about $31 for a quart of goldspar but it seemed really high quality.
I took the trim off to sand and varnish it. It was so much easier that way. I looks so pretty here. I learned you don't need to remove every single spec of varnish left from before, after sanding it just kind of fades into the new stuff.
Here we are three sanded and re-applied coats later. After retaking up the trim I think I will do one more coat tomorrow before work.
It seriously took me from about 9am till about 11pm to finish. We even had to pick out all the glazing and re-glaze the stupid window, move the hinges which involved chiseling new hinge places, and shine the hardware before re-attaching.
Other random stuff.
When I got home from the bar the other night there was this whole box of candy. I was really excited and sad because I am no longer eating mass amounts of candy. Nikl Nips are sop gross. I mean they taste good but just look at the ingredients sometimes - they do have not one redeeming ingredient - not even sugar.
These tulips in the garden were so pretty. There are so many tulips around the 24 right now.

Redoing a window
sanding a bathroom window, adding new hindges in a different spot,
removing molding to and wood filling.
The project took way longer than I thought. I still have to bleech
some stains and re-urethane it tomorrow. I am using outdoors thompson
waterseal seeing as it is in the shower.
Then I have to reglaze the glass as part of the glazing is missing.
The thing is the window is open, as in not attached to the house so I
have to finish it tomorrow so the window can be shut. This should be
a fun way to burn a vacation day ;(
It seems like instead of the outdoor fun I used to have, now I just
have homework. I mean it's very satisfying to do stuff, I just wish
it didn't use up all the nice days.

Valu is better than home depot
Everytine I go to home depot it takes me six hours to find what I
need, everyone us too busy to help and I end up spending $100.
Instead, when I go to valu I get what I need in a few minutes and the
service is way better. I sattry valu first and only go to home depot
if you can't cu dwhat you need there.

Chow Chocolate on Main Street Rocks!
First we tried to go to the Chocolate Bar on chippewa. It was beyond crowded and loud to the point of obnoxious. No one greeted us at the door and I ended up having to call them on the phone from within the restaurant to ask if they had any tables. How ridiculous is that. They said not for an hour and we left in search of another source chocolate.
The iphone suggested Chow Chocolate on Main Street and man was that a good choice. They close at 10:00PM and it was like 9:54 but we called and they said they would stay open and had a table. So we went and ate the best chocolate desserts I have ever had. This one was called the chocolate turtle truffle or something like that. (e:jim) had the same thing minus pecans. (e:matthew) had a cheesecake and (e:Terry) and (e:james) had some decadent cherry dessert. At least I am pretty sure.
