Me: I want a side salad.
McDonald’s: we don’t have that on our late night menu.
Me: you don’t have one in the refrigerator?
(Pause)
McDonald’s: I can make that for you. How many do you want?
Idiots.

Why I’m Sad
October 14, 2009 11:54 am by Cassandra Crawford
It’s that time of year where, even though the trees are beautiful in New England, I have to start looking at the low temperature for the day instead of the high temperature. Summer was way too short!
Meet Tiki
September 6, 2009 10:49 am by Cassandra Crawford
Introducing Tiki the Greyhound – all the way from West Virginia, weighing in at 63 pounds, she’s the newest addition to the Crawford household! Say hello!
Tiki the Greyhound on the way home for the first time.
Tiki turned 2 years old in May 2009 and is a racing school drop out – she just didn’t want to chase the rabbit. She is very affectionate and just loves getting attention. Stairs were very scary to her for the first couple of days, but she’s already mastered them!
We can’t wait for more of her personality to unfold in the coming months.
Look Ma, No Legs!

My suspension desk is complete, and yes, it is green!
Shane finished it up a while back and I just did the finishing touches on the green stain this last weekend.
This is no regular desk – it is a suspension desk. It is completely suspended by the cables attached to the wall and the desk. No legs makes for more room underneath the desk for storage since it is in a small space. And its strength has been tested – both Shane and I have stood on top of the desk and it didn’t break! Thanks to Jim, David and Shane for the great unique desk. I absolutely love it!

Sonic is coming to New England
August 21, 2009 9:03 am by Cassandra Crawford
This is so exciting. There is now a set date for Sonic in Peabody, MA to open. August 26 is the day. This is the first Sonic (of many planned) in New England and it happens to be just a few miles from our house in Salem. I love the north shore!
I just have to decide what to get first – classic Sonic Burger? Giant Route 44 Dr Pepper? Chili Cheese Coney? Cheese Fries? Slush?
New Site Design
August 13, 2009 10:56 am by Cassandra Crawford
Shane & Cassandra (the website, not the people) just got a brand new look and structure.
Some notes:
- The pictures in the background (you should get a new one with each new visit to the site) were all taken by Shane and me.
- The home page has an at a glance view of Shane’s, Ajax’s and my latest updates.
- Shane now has a new space to keep all his posts (which is not a blog!).
- My blog and Shane’s posts are now all incorporated in to the same site navigation structure for easily getting around to all parts of the site.
- Ajax’s DogBlog might be brought into the new site as well – we are still deciding if his space should be separate.
- More tweaks are coming as I find things I don’t like.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on what you like and what you don’t like. (Or if something is broken)
Is Green Good?

Shane and his dad are making me a desk for my elf room (the little loft at the top of our house with a skylight). The room isn’t big enough for Shane to fit in standing up, so it immediately became my room – the elf room. For little people.
So this desk is being made and I want to stain it a green color instead of a traditional wood stain. I think it’ll be unique and pretty, but I get lots of negative reactions towards it when I tell people the idea.
Here’s a sample of the stain on the wood being used for the desk. What do you think???

Delayed Flowers

I found this picture while going through my library and wanted to share even though it’s old.
I came home one day from work and found these tulips at the top of the stairs – so pretty.
Red Tulips from Shane
Shane, I approve.
All Grown Up
May 26, 2009 10:00 am by Cassandra Crawford
After almost a year of actually having a dining room in our house, we finally got a real dinner table and matching chairs to replace the card table and folding chairs we had been using. I think this means we are actually adults now.
Table and new plates!
Thanks IKEA!
