Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Pizza sounds good. Pasta, too.

I have matzo. I also have some fresh salad greens, which I'm going to combine with some oranges and figs and pistachios. And I'm going to try to make matzo balls.

Which, okay, but someone still needs to DO those things or the project doesn't get done.

I used to have a boss who thought "someone else" worked in our department. Whenever she'd find us doing something like copying and collating stacks of paper at 7 p.m., she'd say, "Can't someone else do that?"

I just bought these sneakers: [link]

This is what happens when the office is this quiet. I spend money on shoes and surf the real estate listings. Today, I want this house: [link]

Probably it's a bit of a hassle, because it's right by a popular shopping area and parking on the weekends must be very annoying, but I love the front yard, and all the windows.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Why hasn't this week ended yet? I mean, my brain went home three hours ago. Why can't the rest of me?

That's a very lovable house. So pretty.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

no off the street parking? is that common? That would drive me bonkers with a house with a yard.

Home now. clothes are drying, and now to deposit some checks and start adding up last year's medical expenses.

Our street is like that -- it seems like every other house has a driveway (we do, which is awesome). And some of the people with driveways don't use them anyway and park on the street.

Depends on the neighborhood, really. But that's probably why the price is so low, relatively speaking. It's a great neighborhood but the lack of a garage or driveway is going to hurt the pricing.

Most places I've lived had no off street parking, which is why I love having a garage now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sweet sneaks, Suela!
