What a lovely house. I'm always torn between "Lots of lovely windows" and "not enough wallspace for bookshelves".
And the doors are nice and wide. I like that in proper Arts & Crafts bungalows.

For those of you in need of house pron updates: here's a lovely bungalow!
I had friends who lived about a block away from there, on Dryden. I really like that neighborhood. I lived in a seedier part of P. Ridge many years ago, and I loved it.
And that's a great comic shop.

Oh, the price of that house!
I walked past a house today that will be open tomorrow. It was listed as a great investment opportunity (i.e., needs a fair amount of work), 3/2, on a decent street (better than mine) but not an awesome neighborhood. $745K.
Apparently a huge percentage of the houses in the area are getting bought by investers, who fix them up fast and turn them into rental properties to take advantage of the tech boom. Which is why I'm probably going to stay right where I am for the next several years: the market is out of control and I can't afford to move.

Yeah, for where it is that house is a little bit high. That house in the neighborhood I live in now would be $450K easily.

But I can't fetch them from after school (which I do 4 days a week),
After school care until dad can fetch them? Take the school bus home and have a local teenager for a few hours?
I can't believe prices are so high in Cincinnati! They're still very cheap (relatively) in Indiana. (But crazy here in Seattle)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just got back from spending All The Money at Target and Costco. The firm is going to pay me back for most of it, but cat litter was on sale at Costco and car food was on sale at Target so I went overboard on both.
Time to think of free things to do for the rest of the weekend.

What kind of food does your car eat?
The sad part is I read that and just kinda went "yeah, sure, car food, like junk food that you eat in the car?" and it didn't occur to me until I read Amy's post that it was a typo!

For a minute even I thought, Is she talking about motor oil? Windshield wiper fluid?
