Of course, to add insult to injury, I made no $$ off the sale of the house. I had to pay several thousand dollars to the mortgage company, so all the house sale forms are just so the IRS doesn't come after me for unreported nonexistent income

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I love how people on Judge Judy always try to raise their hands while she's in the middle of a tirade. That never works out, people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The greatest thing that's ever happened in my life (possibly an exaggeration) was when I was home sick one day, or it was a holiday or something, and I turned on one of the judge shows and I had gone to high school with the people!

That is pretty awesome.

Oh, you might appreciate this. Sara went to the Franklin Institute last week and brought home a stuffed white blood cell that she said was going to be named Plushy. We agreed P. Bloody would be even better.

I think not!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow, I cannot believe how short y'all's commutes are! I mean, I know mine is abnormally long, but still.

Our wings are not tired.
Well, mine is 49 miles each way. I can do it in 50 minutes, but it's taken as long as 3 hours.
Thankfully I rarely have to drive during horrible commute times. And what's surprised me is that I work from home less than I could, because I actually like being in my office, around my colleagues.
ETA: Also, listening to the Harry Potter series (thanks, you know who) has helped the commute immeasurably. I am already sad that it's coming to a close.

I live 6.2 miles from my office. Public transportation can take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. Once it starts warming up a bit, I'm going to try walking most of that in the evening.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH's new commute is 100 miles, one way. We're not convinced we have to move. He may take a small apartment in Madison or we may see how long we can get by on cheap hotels during the 3-4 nights a week he spends down there.
I should probably be keeping a folder of hotel receipts for our taxes next year.
