End of tax season partyCategory: allen st.
We got (e:terry) back.
The only pictures I have of the party are the Newfie neighbor megafloofs and a drawing of the dog. The food was tasty and so is sleeping under (e:terry)'s desk.
Here's the flyer (e:xandra) came up with, pretty sweet.

Spring cleaningCategory: house
(e:terry) and I spent four and a half hours cleaning the gutters and the windows in one(!) room. It was worth it if only for the fact that our yellow room looks so much nicer, but if we ever move I'm never living in a house this size again.
I didn't realize how grimy the windows were until I had was able to compare these cleaned ones to the schmutzige ones.
After we finished we walked with (e:paul) and (e:mike) who got back from the outlet mall.

Birdy birdingCategory: nature
(e:terry) and I joined a birding group on facebook (yeah I know) and we've seen a ton of photos of cute little warblers posted. We rode our bikes through the cemetery to see if we could see any birds. Allegedly now is the best time to see them, as they're stopping on their migration north and there are no leaves on the trees.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to bird, so we only saw geese, ducks, robins and this furry woodchuck.
After we went to walk Midnight at my parents' house. We finished the day with dinner at Zaiqua on Delaware. It's a delicious Pakistani buffet with a ton of veggie options, and they give you a paneer fry. A little greasy but I'd go again.

Earth day recycling at HazmanCategory: environment
On Earth Day we went up to Hazman in Tonawanda to recycle all our electronics and dispose of our hazardous waste.
They take gasoline, paint, fertilizer, batteries - even styrofoam, vinyl and all the plastics you normally can't recycle. You do have to pay for everything you dispose - but you it's your fault for generating it. The same thing is free at the Erie County drop off, but that's twice a year and we always seem to miss it.
We had a ton to get rid of, and only paid $25. Most of it needed to go (like the gas/oil/paint thinner nightmare), but I felt bad scrapping the electronics that were functional but obsolete. I mean you could probably still use (e:terry)'s 15 year old PS/2 ball mouse or those bundles of phone wire, but why?
