Aww, congrats, Glam!
I'm a little overwhelmed with people who feel the need to point out that I have too many books, and that we're not fully unpacked yet.
We weren't "fully unpacked" after ten years. The people saying those things are jerks. Also, there is NO SUCH THING as too many books.
ION, one of my co-workers just gave me a super-cute pair of shoes! They'd been languishing in her closet forever, and she figured I'd like them. [link]
I know, David. And Shane is still in our bed so he doesn't really need his own room (except as a place to stash the toys taking over our living room). Still sucks to think you're getting into a house with 3 bedrooms and a yard only to end up staying put in your cramped quarters. I was really looking forward to the yard - this kid is up at 5:30AM and it would have been nice to let him outside without having to be all dressed and stuff when the sun came up.
cute shoes!
Congrats GC and don't worry about the two bedroom. My kids have their own rooms and yet rarely do they sleep the whole night alone. Isaac wants company so every night he seeks it, either coming to our bed or going to his sister's. And they go through phases of voluntarily sharing a bedroom for a month or more. I shared a bedroom until college. Kids don't need their own rooms.

Unpossible! That concept does not exist
I got rid of a bunch of books when Mom was here, I still have a bunch in boxes because is there no room. But as Mom said - I'm a person who loves books and there's nothing wrong with that.
Now he goes to his room in the evening to do his homework and watch stuff on his iPad or chat with friends
That's what you
think
(coughPORNcough)
he's doing.
Oh, wait--you didn't specify what's on the iPad.
sj,
so, I still have boxes in the house and in my office. someone jokingly asked me (in my campus office), when will you be unpacked?
My answer was: when I have time to do it.
This summer sucked. I have unpacked my most immediate needs. Unless you want a screaming nubian, give me a few weeks, I'll get there.
GC,
congratulations woman! that is really wonderful.
Finally told our realtor we were halting the search. I knew she'd be cool and she totally was. She was absolutely the best realtor we've been with. If you're in the LA-area and need someone, let me know. She's GREAT!

I would argue that they have too few books.
