oops... sorry!
This caterer is the MAN. I hope our client hires him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've just eaten and Nora's making me hungry.
I heard back from my agency - they don't want the Water Board thinking they're poaching me for another client. I think I'm relieved that the decision is out of my hands.

sj, if you wish, and only if you wish, you could bring some sort of side salad... pasta, potato, or old fashioned veggie. (or whatever) Storebought would be fine!
I can make a nice lemon pepper pasta salad if that sounds ok to you? I've made it before. It's good.

Yummy food. For the first time, I did my spin class this morning with road shoes. I suspect I will be sore tomorrow because of the extra benefit of being attached to the pedals, but for now I am just hungry and I want to be where Nora is.
vw, it doesn't sound like your boss has really thought about what it means to have you leave. She was too concerned about all the things she wasn't going to do for you that she failed to appreciate all the things you do for the school. Won't she be in for a nasty shock.

Hmm, now I'm thinking I might bring a couple bags of those Caeser salad kits. How's that sound, Nora?

Nora, repeat this over and over, because it's the point. If you're planning on living there a while and can afford the mortgage, it doesn't really matter what housing prices are doing today.
Also here is a left brain way to look at it:
Add up your total expenses - mortage, prop taxes maintenance. Substract your income tax break. What would it cost you to rent something with the same square feet and same size yard? A whole lot more right? Even if the bubble bursts, I don't think anyone expects to rents to drop that much (or probably at all). So if you stay in the place a while you are ahead over renting no matter what property values do.

Certainly not where Nora and Tom live. And I speak from long, sad experience with the area (even though my current rental is better than I could have hoped for).
