My poor Sexy Nerd. He was so happy to get his Mini Cooper . Although it was supposedly perfect when he bought it, he immediately devoted his time and money to making it even better with decals, new premium oil (though the dealership had just changed the oil), and a clear bra. As a side note, searching online for a “clear bra” made him very uncomfortable. (So he says!) Sadly, Sexy Nerd’s newly purchased Mini Cooper isn’t running. He spent all weekend working on it. Just as he was ready to put it back together, one of the bolts broke. You can just run down to any parts store and pick up another bolt, right? Nope! Mini bolts can only be replaced with Mini bolts.

To quote Christmas Vacation, I can picture it in my mind and it's breathtaking. Sexy Nerd has been too busy to build my window seat. Between organizing his office , painting "meatballs" on his Mini Cooper , baking raw cookies , and napping while simultaneously watching Nascar , he just hasn't had the time. One day I'll get my window seat. How difficult do you think it would be for me to just build it myself? Keeping in mind that I'm not handy at all . Really, you may as well consider me the anti-handy. Here are some window seat ideas I've seen online. The 3rd photo looks doable. I could probably just put some cheap bookcases side by side and top them with a patio cushion from Home Depot. Of course, what I really want is the window seat from either the 1st or 2nd photo (al...

It's finally the weekend. WOO HOO HOO!!!  I, for one, am ready. Can you tell? And Sexy Nerd made dinner tonight! This weekend is off to a wonderful start.

...and I'll skip blogging if I want to. Birthday freebies, here I come! Stay tuned - there's a rafflecopter Amerisleep giveaway coming later this week. (After I've gotten all this birthday partying out of my system, of course.)
