Robin, I would not worry about flouncing off. You are a serious buyer (since you made an offer) in a buyers market. Counter-offers are pretty routine. If they really think the price is already a bargain, then the counter-offer might be: "the price we offered it is a firm one; take it or leave it". But acting insulted would be really unprofessional on their part.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thanks, Sean!
I'm just reading rave reviews for Ratatouille.
Can't wait to see it!

Go Vortex! And not having windows where they said there would be is really kind of a big thing!
I hate trying to write my resume. BLEAAAAH. But my coworker just called a recruiter and made me promise I'd send it to him this evening, so now I'm obliged. Ack. I'm good at being pushy in everything BUT selling myself...

I have a good feeling about Robin's offer. I think she and Mr. Robin are going to get it.

Of course, maybe not as much as my barista this morning who asked me if I'd ever heard of a guy called Frank Frazetta...

House~ma to Robin!
In the midst of another crappy day, I got the following reply to an email from a co-worker:
You're a peach!
Put a smile on my face. Sometimes it's the little things.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Mmmm, peaches.
