Down the rabbit hole I ran out of checks right about the time I made an offer on a house. Actually, for all I know I have a whole box of them in my storage unit somewhere. I rarely use the things. ‘Specially since I don’t even pay rent at this time. I sense, however,Continue reading

Finally! I’ve been waiting for someone to tag me with one of these. No idea why it seems more fun than the old e-mail questionnaire with questions like “Coke or Pepsi?” and “Lights on or off?” **And if you think this is mindless, just you wait til you buy a house. My head is spinning.Continue reading

One of these was The Office, an episode in which Steve Carrell became a homeowner. He excitedly leftContinue reading

Girl crush For the record, I found Angelina Jolie positively captivating on Anderson Cooper last night. I loved her winged eyeliner and thought she had on just the right amount of makeup. And I feel that I learned a lot about refugees around the world. Heart-wrenching. I did however, find it annoying that they atContinue reading

Didja hear? Nestle is buying Jenny Craig.

Trying times Rob and I have stopped fighting about which Realtor is less incompetent and saw some houses yesterday that might do. One is hideous from top to bottom, but in a great location.
