"Eh, it'll have to do."

Wouldn't it look cuter if the "with Leah and Todd" part of the blog title were slightly smaller than the rest, like a subtitle? I thought so, too. And if I were more adept at HMTL or more patient with template tweaking, I really would have figured that out. But instead, after a few minutes of fiddling and a peek at the evening's must-see TV schedule, I sighed an "Eh, it'll have to do" and moved on to post numero uno.

I guess it's obvious from the blog title that we're not exactly overachievers here. It's not that we don't have good ideas and strong desires to carry them out, it's just that sometimes we don't have the patience to really plan for their decent execution. And once we get to the point in a project where we realize that maybe we should've prepped that surface after all, it's "good enough" and on to the next thing. Because part of our half-assery is laziness, sure, but the other part is just needing to get on with things already. When you have as many home improvement projects on your plate as we do, sometimes you just have to take the fast track and settle for okay, or other times, for "no one will notice."

Soon enough I'll post about an actual half-assed project with photos and whatnot, but right now I'm going to have to use this computer to watch Parks and Rec. And this is how it goes.
