Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I looked at two houses today, and now I am roasting vegetables to be put on a pizza for dinner. Exciting!
Unfortunately I discovered that the drain pipe for my washing machine is kind of fucked only after I had moved a bunch of boxes of books into the garage--where the washing machine is. Happily they weren't too dampened, but now I have plumbing to do.
Tomorrow.
Insent, Perkins.
CJ slept most of the day away and looked green when we drove home from the airport. He is trying some rice. I hope he feels better by morning.
Apparently, getting to my job interview this week (!!!) will take me an hour. That is a HUGE BUMMER. Apparently I live in exactly the wrong spot to get there via public transportation.
Yeah, SF just told Seattle that the 6:00 flight can expect to leave at 11:00.
And that's the earlier flight that I am on standby on. I am confirmed for a flight scheduled for 8:40.
Things that really hurt: Wearing earphones and wiping dust off of the monitor. The feeling was akin to filling one's ears with pop-rocks. Ow... just ow.
I just loaded a bunch of photos from last night to both Facebook AND the Buffistas pool on Flickr. So, check the pool!
And in searching my Flickr site for an older photo of Matilda, I found this!. When was she ever so small??
I attempted to make my own sticky rice with mango. It was okay for a first attempt, but the rice was too firm. The quick-and-lazy recipe I used has you cook jasmine rice and substitute 1/2 the water with coconut milk. I think that because coconut milk is so thick, I needed to compensate with extra water -- not a ton, but a little. I'll have to try that next time.
So, not as good as what I've gotten in restaurants, but not that bad for a first try.
Hey, BigDuluth--don't do that again, m'kay?
Walking home from my massage today I got a call from my realtor that someone wants to see my place at 10am tomorrow. SO on my newly pounded and ground muscles I have spent the last 4 hours cleaning. Do not feel great.
It shouldn't have been that much work, but I had pulled out a bunch of stuff in the hopes of doing ebay and craigslist listing this evening. Also, no cleaning lady this past Friday, so all that stuff needed to get done. Also also, I had food I had to cook. I think it is 90% done. I'd really like an assistant/house elf/husband/maid/wife/fairy godmother through this whole house selling stuff. I am going to stay exhausted, I can tell.
MsBelle, I meant to add to the comments earlier about how beautiful your place looks in the real estate photos. Where does Mac's room fit in the floor plan? I know it's not technically (legally) a second bedroom, but is it represented on the floor plan?
