Well, now I want that house. It's gorgeous.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's glorious. Also, I am mr flea wrt bowl sinks, but not in many other ways like height and engineering competency.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
flea, that's a great house! And it *is* right around the corner from my old apartment, and I *love* that street! You could walk to the food co-op when it opens! And walk to the 1,000 Indian restaurants and Graeter's!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, flea! I love everything about that house (except the bowl sink, but I don't hate that either). Palm tree!

Good news: the clinical pathology editing job (the one with the printing out and marking up hard copy and then scanning it and emailing it to the 1800s) that was going to hire in-house staff ended up slashing that from their budget and asked me if I would proofread for them more or less as long as I want.
I dislike this roller-coaster-y-ness of freelancing. Although I know working for The Man isn't a guarantee of anything, either. This is still just really new to me, and I dislike uncertainty.
But I do like having 2 long-term gigs that do pretty much make up full-time work now. Woo!

What a gorgeous place. Too bad stairs are not in Hubby's future any more.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I LOVE that house. Go buy it!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What Scrappy said.
That price makes me want to cry

Not pictured, but visible on Google Street View, there is a tire swing on a tree in the front yard. Considering how much Dillo DIED when we looked at a house that had a hammock on Monday, I don't think he'd survive looking at a house with a play structure AND a tire swing.
The only down sides I know about so far are 1) no garage 2) fireplaces currently not functioning. Also the roof is slate, which means it's original, which means it's 100 years old, which means it's at the end of its life span.

no garage
Is there off-street parking?
