Well soon (I HOPE) there will be no resemblance for remarks because you won't be working there!
Apparently, I will know more about that on Friday.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Have they worn well? They're gorgeous.
They have! I probably should oil the counter more often but eh. It's fine!
(Fingers crossed for megan walker!)

Holy SHIT, housing prices in Cali FLOOR me.
We have a 2 story, 3 BR with a basement, separate garage, front sunroom, back screened in porch, full DR, LR with a (nonworking) fireplace and deck and yard.
Granted, our house needs some work -- a hole in the kitchen ceiling, the old French doors leading to the back porch were taken out and replaced with some lovely pink insulation thingies, and the deck needs a ton of boards replaced. It was a farmhouse in the early 1900's, and was a B&B (although this makes me NUTS -- the bedrooms are tiny and close together. Did only people who KNEW each other wel stay here?)
But it cost about 125K in 2005, and it's in a really nice neighborhood -- we're thisclose to Mission Hills, which is a schmancy mansion-y burb.
Apparently, this amount of money would purchase a cardboard box in SF. A small one.

I also read somewhere that we didn't really get hit with the housing bubble, because our prices never inflated (probably simply because there are WAY more houses than people who want to live here!).
Now that I have paid off my credit cards, I feel like I should look in to buying a house, as a modest house is actually less than my rent. But, then I would have to mow the lawn!

I love that NYTimes weekly feature that shows what $X will buy you housing wise in 3 different markets. Fascinating!

Pay a kid to do it! Would you be able to buy someplace that would make your commute more reasonable?

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