I'm trying to imagine what the actual estate looks like, because that carriage house is HUGE.
Here's a picture of the main house- it's broken into several condos- I'm not sure how many. They were finishing up the renovations when we first moved here- we pass by every time we go into town or coming to or from the train station. [link]
I can't go to our local parade of homes to often because my million dollar house envy turns me into a depressed mess.
The million dollar homes, for me, are so removed from my reality (in a way I'm OK with) that it's just eye candy/porn. Though I sometimes get the class rage. I get upset when looking at stuff that I think is nicer and cheaper, or just one step above what we can afford and gorgeous.
I think it's the class rage that gets me, too. I hadn't thought of it in that terms, but it's what it comes down to. They could build much cheaper homes without all the bells and whistles, but still of very high quality and that are still affordable. Instead, they tell us the only way we can have nice is to have a million dollars. The housing industry in this country is so fucked up.
Real estate: [link] this is the current focus of my lust. Now I just need it to a) stay on the market and b) come down some in price over the next six months when I'm hoping to move. That'll happen, right?
Is there any health~ma lying around? My dad just called and my mom's in the hospital with a raging kidney infection and a fever of 102. She has lupus, so I always worry about stuff like this, although I know right now she's just irritated because her back surgery (set for April 9) is going to have be delayed now.
I really just wish I was closer so I could hang out in the hospital with her this afternoon, and hug her a lot.
Oh, Amy. All kinds of good thoughts, love, and prayer for your mom (and dad, and you).
Much ~ma for Anne's friend, askye's grandmother, and AmyLiz's mom!
Dancing on a pole is fun! Video, please.
Loved the picture of Matilda and Mom sleeping. Nothing is better than falling asleep with/on the person you love.
Hil, great photos! What a wonderful trip!
The Universe needs to BACK OFF MY BITCHES! Fuckin' March.
~ma to AmyLiz's mom, Anne's friend, and Sean's kitty (not to mention Sean himself)
Just got a good report from the ICU nurse. Health~ma passed along as needed.
All this stuff is making me determined to take better care of myself. Don't want my kids to have to deal with stuff I could prevent.
Laura, that's a relief!
Much ~ma to AmyLiz's mom.
We've had a productive day. Bought a bike trailer for the kids and a new, pink helmet for Olivia.
I realized I'm going to need to clean my patio and my patio furniture. Everything's filthy.
