As I sipped on my coffee this morning and perused over some blogs, I hear Steven shout out from the bedroom/bathroom area: “Hey, do we have a leak?” Uh oh. “What?” I holler as I begin to head towards the bathroom. “Oh, my God — where?? I didn’t see any!” Visions of damp carpet, plumbing […]

And last week, it finally came . . . my very own questionnaire for the 2010 […]
