The economy is shaky. I feel broke. Therefore, I am DIYing my home improvement projects. I get a sense of accomplishment, and I save money! Win-win.
It took me so long to tear off shingles from half my porch roof, that I accepted the offer of a neighbor to finish the job. Poor economy also means random people offering to do work for a little cash.
Normally I would always say no to someone offering to do work for me just because he was riding his bike down the street. However, this guy was helping another neighbor with work today. My neighbor that has been my snowblowing fairy and my lawn mowing fairy. I chatted with him earlier to borrow his tool for tearing shingles off. (He's also the tool loaning fairy). I figured if a neighbor I trust will hire him, I may as well let him tear off half my shingles.
I will blog more, and maybe post pics once I am clean and get a sugar fix...

billboardsI was driving in north Buffalo today, and saw multiple billboards for Taco Bell. It made me wonder why there were so many billboards, when there isn't even a Taco Bell in the city limits? I only know of them being in the various suburbs... Of all the things to get me to drive outside of the city, Taco Bell is not one of them.

I love Taco Bell My Self (even if it is only 32% meat but to be legally meat you have to be 35% or what ever those scary numbers are)..... I wasn't in the car so I'm not sure but maybe they where set up wrong and aimed at drivers headed out towards malls shopping center places....

Maybe Rochester is competing with Buffalo and is trying to draw all the junk foodies to their city limits. *gasp*

I can't handle the size limit and the fact that my media would be stored all over the place. I guess its good for instant communication. That or some people like following celebrities to.

It actually such a waste of time and energy really. I feet like I was shouting at myself in 140 characters most of the time...
And I really the missed the luxury of a full-on 10000+-character rant at myself that I can have here.
