We've got a few of the Belkin WeMo outlets, and its fun to have a more connected house. Looking forward to not electrocuting myself installing them this weekend.

Either a small machete or a big knife, hard to say. Regardless I'm in love with the thing and can't wait to take it camping, it has an impressive grip and heft to it.

I also bought a really lovely jewelry box, because I can't find one I like, and I'm tired of hanging my nicer jewelry on cabinet doors and having them in a million places. Turns out I have more jewelry than I realized and it doesn't really fit.

I bought one of these recently and I loooove it! http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/longstem-over-the-door-jewelry-organizer-in-bronze/1042046431?categoryId=12215

Can't see any mention of the p or z words in the descriptions on the website though. Take it these are unofficial things that get by because they don't explicitly make reference to the games? Isn't Nintendo normally all over that kind of thing?

My house is illuminated by about 24 recessed PAR38 (or BR38) bulbs. Any recommendation for some LED bulbs? I bought grocery store-brand BR38's a year ago in incandescent, CFL, halogen, and LED, and only the incandescent and halogen are still alive.

I use bulbs by Solais in all of my recessed lighting. They're actively cooled so they won't overheat and are designed for heavy-use commercial applications. Not cheap, but I haven't had one go out in three years.

I picked up a dark blue corduroy suit from Strong Suit.

There is no mention of the name "Pokemon" or any monsters in your pocket (it doesn't even list the names of the Pokemon) or even "Nintendo" so I'm guessing they're flying under the radar for now.

A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It's the shit that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come.
I caved and bought a FitBit Charge, mainly because we already have the FitBit scale in our house and I'm finally getting serious about exercising. It also is a watch which is neat.

Also just dropped some money on this guy:

Finally got a non lovely sport coat that I look forward to wearing every occasion possible.

I also bought a shitload of activewear from lululemon, which has the most comfortable menswear I have worn. Particularly the revival sweatpant and ABC pants.

I did mean sink, not faucet. But would have meant faucet if that was what was causing the problem. My first reaction was along the lines of "sweet, hopefully a single sink was replaced with the two sink setup because two sinks rock". Now I'm just wondering how you broke a faucet so bad it needed to be replaced.

They wear out over time, especially if they were the original faucets installed in an older house. Just kinda one of those surprise homeowner expenses when you buy a house vs. building a new one.

I got a 'surprise parcel' in the post yesterday, looking at the order it was made on the 1st January at 2am, so I'm not surprised I don't remember it, though what I was doing on Amazon..? *shrugs*

THREE KILOS of yoghurt-coated raisins

Yes, just what I need when I'm trying to stop snacking and lose a bit of heft :o:

They're super tasty though.

It did.
The pull-out hose started leaking into the cabinet under the sink while I was out of town.
We wanted to replace the faucet anyway, since it wasn't one that my wife and I liked, we were just hoping it would last another year or two for when we remodel the kitchen.
