I also don't know from subtle. Predictably, I love that cake.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
omnis, it took several reads, but I just about got that :D (I sort of live in the theatre world by proxy, as The Girl directs.) That sounds really cool.

Trust my rage
Skipping to say that we just made an offer on a house and now I feel like puking.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh, yay, Stephanie! Fingers crossed for you!

Trust my rage
Thanks, everyone. I keep telling myself that the *worst* thing is that we get a house that we really like. It's at the very top of our self-imposed limit, which is why I'm so stressed, I guess. I keep telling myself that if we have to, we just take the kids out of daycare until I find a job working for someone else. I don't think it will come to that, but I do all the financial planning in our house, so I tend to feel lots of weight on my shoulders about it. (It's funny; Joe would say that his total trust in me is a firm vote of confidence, but I also tend to feel lots of pressure not to make mistakes.)
Anyway, it's a beautiful house in great shape and is less than a mile from here. It's an interesting deal. They are building a house right down the street and don't really want to move until June when their house is completed. We have a lease here until July 1. So, we are discussing closing by Nov. 30 (to get the homebuyer's credit) but then renting to them for 6-7 months. It will work well for everyone and we are offering them basically their asking price minus 3% (we have no realtor) so I would think they would accept, but we will see. I put the deadline for tomorrow at 6pm, so I guess we will know by then.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That is an interesting deal, Stephanie. I hope it works out for you.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
the first show in the brand new theater has begun. I'm in my office (well, what will be my office when I move in) watching on the monitor. A new stage is open for the world! May it's boards only have quality productions.
