I am a horrible mother. I dared to meet Mac's flight with frozen yogurt. You know like the worst thing ever.

I have been told that you can wedge epoxy putty into old screw holes and put the new screws right into that without even letting it dry.

That would probably be better than the traditional method I use -- toothpicks and glue.

I've used a lot of toothpicks and glue! Works wonders for stripped holes. I've used both, but I always have toothpicks and wood glue handy.

Toothpicks was the first thing I was going to try but I was out of toothpicks.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

There is a moth problem at work (which is a HUGE problem for the costume department) and it seems they are breeding in some of the cardboard, so we are in the process of getting rid of all the cardboard. I spent $2000 on various plastic bins which has taken care of maybe 75% of one of our storage areas. It going to take a while to get to all of it.

I also couldn't just throw away something that could be recycled

That's been a guilt while I go through the house. I get a lot of stuff into the bin, but then that bin fills up and I want to get rid of more stuff. Recycling pickup is every two weeks, and I don't want to lose momentum. I console myself with knowing I'm not going to singlehandedly bring down the environment with my few boxes and bottles.

Dang, aurelia. That is a lot of bins.

Ugh. I have moths in my house. They are a beast to get rid of. I think they're gone and then I find more.
