10 things I learned this weekend

1.) the shake shack has delicious burgers. and cheese fries. and booze.

2.) when they say "creme brulee" frozen custard, they mean it. there were bits of brulee'd sugar. mmm sugar

3.) not only is there an outback on 23rd street, but it's surprisingly busy on a friday night. who knew?

4.) the wallpaper in the spare room comes down amazingly easy. this is very very good, as there are three different wallpapers in this room.

5.) drywall is heavy, yo. and that's why jbb hangs it.

6.) taping and mudding drywall is fun! and that's why I get to do it. I like the self stick fiberglass tape.

7.) our spare room looks considerably less sketch without the giant hole in the wall where the big ass pipe used to be.

8.) while yard work is quite satisfying, it makes me very very tired.

9.) the bushes along the side of our driveway are the devil.

10.) candy corn season is upon us, finally!
