Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I don't think I have any particular female skills in making a house a home; my specialty is making a house a library.

Can I have this on a t-shirt or a coffee mug?

As far as I'm concerned, once the boxes are unpacked, the pictures are on the walls and the internet is hooked up, it's a home.

and frankly, the pictures and most of the boxes are optional.

I love this statement. It is too true on so many levels. Some leave a trail of clutter, others insults, and, a few, cash...I leave a trail of books and photographs.

shooting in FL: [link]

is it me, or there has been a bunch of shooting recently, or is the national news just reporting things more?

I can't think of anyone less qualified to make a house a home than moi. Perhaps I lack that gene. Maybe it's linked to the fainting gene.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So those little goats must be great at making a house a home.

There is a corner in NYC where you can sit at the window in one Starbucks and look at two others (one is a B&N).

That's like Dunkin Donuts in Boston. I pass 2 in the commuter rail station and 2 on the way to my office, which also has a Dunkies in the lobby. There's another one an admittadely large block away the other side of my office building.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I like making a house a home--but only if you define that as using power tools, arranging furniture and picking paint colors, and not as making beds, mopping floors, or cooking meals.

reminds me -- in house/library news, I've unpacked all of my fun books. I still have three boxes of legal stuff and reference books. Unfortunately, I have no more space. I'm gonna have to get more bookshelves.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I think I am good at making a house a home. I want a warm welcoming house. But it is far from the be all and end all of my existence. I just like being home. And my brains - have kept minor domestic crisises ( like plumbing) from being big problems. So even the idea that making a home = dim, is stupid.

Of course today the living room looks like a rummage sale.....

Punishingly Intricate

is it me, or there has been a bunch of shooting recently, or is the national news just reporting things more?

It seems like it to me too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm pretty good at making a house a... what do you call it? a place where you take care of cats....
