Zen, someone else may have gotten to it first. This is on a local Facebook "yard sale" group. I did put in a plea against painting. I could see painting the top, which has a badly done repair, but the veneer on the sides and the drawer fronts is lovely, at least in the photos.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The only thing I really feel the lack of in this small townhouse is a workspace. I don't really care that the kitchen is the size of a pocket handkerchief, I care that I don't have space to repair and refinish furniture in.

I'm hoping to find a townhouse with a double garage so I can turn the extra space into a work room.
For some reason I can't get my credit reports online, so I called to request them. It will be a couple of weeks at least before they show in the mail, but at least I finally put in the request.
I also talked to one of the mortgage people at my credit union to figure out timing. So my next steps - call my dad to say that I'm really trying to make this happen and we can request pre-approval in March, save money, do what I can to clean up my credit report, and not freak out.

There are brand-new townhouses with double garages for sale near me in the 240,000's. I'm just putting that out there.
No, I'm not moving just for a garage. Even though I want one.

Where are you again, Zen?
The thought of moving elsewhere has flittered through my brain since my job is more mobile than it was when I moved here and the kids are adults. But I really like Colorado. Just need to import more Buffistas.

Well, I have thoroughly creeped myself out before bed with two episodes of Kolchak. Nice to know cheesy 70s horror thriller stuff still has an impact. And I just realized the type face for the credits and title between Kolchak and X-Files is the same.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congrats on the new jobs, Plei and Jess! And yay for you too, Drew!
I am crazy tired these days but I can't sleep. Sigh. Which I suppose means I should get to bed so I can at least get a few hours in before the obligatory waking up anxious in the middle of the night!

I am en route to O'Hare. It's very dark outside.

I got stuck behind a group of women at Frontera who were yelling at friends to buy them half-decaf soy lattes from Starbucks and then tried to get tortas without the bread.
