Oh, Sparky's link made my bungalow-loving heart sore. I miss my house in Georgia. (Which is rented, as of Oct. 20! To a new librarian where I used to work. Go team money!)
Natter 70: Hookers and Blow
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It looks great -- those floors look fantastic.
Also, love the pics of the park at the end.
I've been in SoCal long enough that when I see something that leafy and that green (the yard) it takes me back a bit. We have plants and fruit trees, but even still, everything here is so undrenched and bleached out, nothing lush. I miss it.
Ooh, that is a nice house.
Changing topics briefly...
Have you all seen the Daily Twists ads for Oreo in celebration of their 100th? I read about it in the NYT yesterday. It's amazingly fun. I love that there is one for the beginning of Project Runway: [link] as well as one honoring Nora Ephron [link] There's also higher brow fare, like commemorating Galileo and the telescope [link] So fun.
That is an adorable little house! I can't believe how much living in Rochester has effected my house price index in my head, because that is SO EXPENSIVE IT SHOULD BE A MANSION ON A 12 ACRE COMPOUND!
It's significantly larger than your current place?
Our current place is 980 sq/ft above ground + finished basement, and this one is about 1300 sq/ft above ground + finished basement.

WROD.
Sue: I'd be happy to take a look, also, as an academic librarian.
Thanks Sparky!
It's your current place, but even better!
Work. Uhg.
Work ugh indeed.
Also, my hot water heater broke.
And the job is not posted.
And I have a confrontation with a certain NW state agency pending. I actually get to use the Supremacy Clause, and my confrontation-hating heart is very unhappy about it.
I got home after school drop-off and half an hour volunteering in the school library to find the math test, grade 57%, which we just worked very hard to write corrections to, left on the table. It's raining.
I feel like a good mother would walk the test back to school, in the rain, maybe. But maybe the better mother would let the consequences happen to the child who was not paying attention as she packed her backpack. The lazy mother is sure as heck not putting her shoes back on.
