amych, thanks! The kitchen is surprisingly narrow. The laundry room, though, rocks. But basically the deal clincher is the loveliness of the yard.
Ugh. I'm stoked about moving. I'm less stoked about packing.
eta xpost, I swear.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Beautiful place, Kat. It was hard for me to really focus on the pics, though, as all I could think was that it just looks so warm. And yes, I know you're in LA, and yet, the heat, she is amazing.
Plei, you have the most adorable daughter and that is an amazing shot. Wow. Just wow.
tommyrot, you find the best links. Thanks!

Plei, the blue of her eyes + the blue of the water and the sky is great. What a cool picture.
Okay. Back to throwing stuff away.

Hi Liese! Are you posting from home?
Yes! For the first time ever!
The house looks gorgeous, Kat. That's going to be awesome for you.
You may be mildly crazy for the party. But if you have help with the move, you should be able to pull it off. We aren't close to our housewarming party yet (to which you are all invited), but we have extenuating circumstances. First, still waiting on some furniture. Second, we moved slowly, by ourselves. Third, it is so muddy. We're going to wait until a little later in spring so it's warmer and we can use the deck for the bash.

Not to volunteer anyone, but there are plenty to help. I wish I were one of those close enough.

New houses, yay!
New roommate - yay? Friend is in town for a 2 month interim position. They're being cagey about putting her up (not shifty, just non-profit). If it goes perm she'll get a place, of course, but for 8 weeks, her options will be limited if they don't come through. So, um, yeah.

Brenda, you're a good friend.... 2 months is whoa.
sara, you should come in march to unpack! and see the one-year-olds!
The movers would be more to help with thing like washer/dryer/refrigerator/couch/bed/crib/dresser. Ugh. Don't know what to do. We're getting quotes from different movers (including Flat Rate Movers, and what might be the gayest movers ever: [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Kat, we used Hollywood Movers and they were fast and careful.
