Quick update

Bought some dining room chairs on Craigslist - 6 for $120. They're hard-wood antiques, in pretty bad shape. The construction is solid - no nails - all dovetails, pegs and glue. The glue has pretty much broken down over time and everything is just barely holding together. At some point, I'll have to refinish/restore them, but that's some time in the future. Maybe I'll restore them one at a time at my parents' place.

Made my own lip balm.
2 parts beeswax
1 part petroleum jelly
1 part olive oil

It's not soft enough. I'll have to tweak the formula (- wax + oil). I'm not sure what function the petroleum jelly serves. I'll try 1:1 wax & oil next time.

Gartered Expectations

Yikes. I caught the garter at KT's coworker's wedding reception on Saturday.

This would be the second time in a week that I've caught a garter at a wedding reception.

At Jeff's wedding, KT caught the bouquet, and shortly after that, I caught the garter.
