congratulations Susan and Dylan

Liese - according to The Virgin Homeowner you should budget 1 to 2 % of the houses value for repairs per year. Obviously in a new house that should not be the case and in my old house I haven't spent anything near that. ( The same book suggests doing what I do - making the separate account as a more practical approach). I'd say we spend between 2 - 3000 a year, but we have a lot of cosmetic work to do.

We refinished the living room floor ourselves, while living in th e house. O f course this is California,and we moved the furniture outside.

Bah. The universe defies me today.

But I rode in an elevator with John DeLancie this weekend, so I guess I shouldn't complain. Did you know he testified in front of Congress about Kent State? He was a student there at the time.

IM IN YR ELEVATORS, SQUISHIN' YR Q!

It didn't need to be said twice. Instead I shall say that the top of my head doesn't even come up to John DeLancie's shoulder. He's tall, dude.

Yay to new paint in Chez Miracleborn and to Teppy and The Boy moving in together!

Boo to falling down and other Buffista injuries and ailments.

Happy Anniversary to Susan and DH!

That's all I've got.

Why? Why did I look at photos of myself from the reading? WHY? WHY?

Ahem.

Congrats on the impending living-in-sin, Tep!

ps bacon is life

A great note from Passive Aggressive Notes....

Happy Anniversary, Susan and DH!

Well, "Don't put pizza in the composter" is a fairly reasonable request, really.
