THIS is the project my broken (well, broken until yesterday; still somewhat unreliable and testy) printer delayed and nearly ruined Christmas by refusing to print for me. My poor kids didn’t even have an Advent calendar until December 2! Tragic! And, of course, if you’re reading this in 2012, you either already have an Advent calendar or you’re pretty much … Continue reading

And the ones like today’s, which are sort of in between. (This will be an easier goal to accomplish if my *#$%^^^ing card reader … Continue reading
