I’ve got powertools and I’m not afraid to use them

Today I was working on achieving my “lesbian street cred” badge, so I tidied up the garage, and even installed a ceiling fan. It seems like I’ve installed at least three dozen ceiling fans in my lifetime, so it should have been a piece of cake, but instead it was a pain in the butt because the grounding wire coming from the ceiling was literally about a quarter of an inch long. Luckily I have tiny fingers and a lot of patience, and I also have a big bottle of Advil, as I now need it after holding my arms over my head for an hour fiddling with the damn thing. The good news is that the garage now has air circulation and a dash of style (nothing says “fashion sense” like fake oak wood laminate). Later this week I’m going to finish assembling the table saw, and I’m going to finish assembling the cat tree. Or maybe I’ll take the rest of the week off, we’ll see. I’ve got a bag of Dove dark chocolate Valentine’s hearts on the bar behind me, so I might do crazy things. Anyway, here’s a photo of my tidy garage, and the hood of the car:

And this is a photo of the actual ceiling fan, in motion. Don’t let it make you dizzy.

Freddie and “KKKendra” won “The Amazing Race” tonight, proving that nice guys do indeed finish second. I (heart) you, Kris and Jon. A new season of “Survivor” starts next week, and then more “Amazing Race” in early March. I’m really in need of an Ami Cusack fix, though. Won’t someone put her on another reality show for my enjoyment?

One last thing… our camera is finally back, so here’s a photo of Derek, the Chai Master, engaging in his favourite hobby:

About Me

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I think a day without Starbucks is a day without sunshine (there are no Tim Hortons here, so I make do with what I've got). I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I'm a veterinary technology student at Penn Foster, and I'm the Director of Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary. I bottle-feed lots of kittens, and try to find homes for society's less fortunate felines. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

I live with the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm actively seeking work, and specialize in Internet/social media marketing (but I don't blog about it). My background is in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024 in IE, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
