Aahcoffee – Still? I thought I had it down to a reasonable 3-4 seconds (it was like 30- yikes!). Also, I’ve noticed you haven’t updated your site lately… just sayin’.

I had a problem with the slowness too…but it was always worth the wait. I say 20-10 (twenty-ten) also.

I fully approve of the DIY attitude. If anyone needs more in the confidence category, volunteering with your local Habitat for Humanity affiliate is a great way to build (hah!) some confidence. They’ll teach you what you need to know for whatever tasks you’re working on, and you can take those skills and the added confidence home with you.

Meryl – One day we should have a pink-tool burning party! Not that you can burn a hammer, but symbolically, at least.

Monique- Thanks for letting me know about the slowness… I thought it had to do with the computer I was running on, but actually one of my plugins was creating problem. I hope it’s considerably faster for you now! Also thanks for the encouragement!

Cheers to THAT! So encouraging and truthful! And I totally agree about finding the right tools. Home Depot and OSH always piss me off with their teeny tiny hammer with flowers and crap all over it. I WANT A REAL TOOL. Just because I’m smaller doesn’t mean I like pink and flowers god damnit.

Here’s to 2010 (and I really did lol when you said “oh-ten” because I have already done the same thing)

I would say 20-10 (Tewnty-ten) I think is sounds the best. FYI – your page is still one of the slowest to load for me through houseblogs.net. But I love your writing style and admire your hoo-has on what you are able to do.
