Thanks Allyson, I may send that to them as my comment.

by the by - if you still wanted kiddo readers of Sam, mac might be into that. He already knows about it and knows he is getting a copy once it is out for reals. he keeps saying, is it like Stellaluna? and I keep saying it's cooler.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think the market is pretty niche.

Internet's all about the Long Tail.

I can't believe I have to do groceries again. Not being able to keep meat in my fridge more than a day really cramps my style. I never remember to defrost in time to make dinner.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hate trying to keep meat in the fridge. I can usually get DH to stop by the market after work and pick up fresh, but he works less than a block from the store with the best butcher.

Olivia's new favorite song is "Old Macdonald" and she walks around the house humming and singing most of the day. Why do we teach them to talk again?

If I keep it thawed more than a day I risk migraines. It's really irritating.

So, I was thinking the exterior paint job was a little "huh" and then I looked at all the pictures. Got to the ugly cabinets and was "OK" and then you hit picture #10. And then there is 16!!: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hilariously, I was wondering if "complete rehab" meant it was ready for rehab, or had already had it!

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

You want a bad paint job, Sarameg. It scares off a lot of buyers and is the easiest thing to fix. Or in this case, an INSANE paint job. Everyone told us to look for the worst house in the best neighborhood we could. the house you can improve--the neighborhood not so much.

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

It's more the scary crumpled ceiling that gets me.

One of my thing is I want central air...or a price that I can put it in soon after. I am not equipped to cope without air in this climate.

I also don't want too much of a fixer upper. I know my limits. I can deal with an old ugly kitchen for a period of time...I guess that's key: I want functional over pretty, but that doesn't need to be brand spanking new. And I kinda hate some of the new kitchens they put in. I'd rather have old cabinets I hate than new ones I hate (given I have the world's ugliest crap cabinets now, shouldn't be a surprise.)

(this is msbelle's doing. I have to give blamecredit where it is due.)

Ooh, one of the houses I looked at had the ugly cabinets, but they had custom-made organizing...contraptions inside. Pull outs and swivels and drawers-in-cabinets and it was amazing. Had I been able to afford that place, I just would have replaced the fronts eventually. The use of space was amazing.
