And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

I spent a few hours volunteering today, which was nice.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government.

Thanks, Strix. I need to figure out what makes me happy and keeps the bills paid too, I think.

Extra-strength HOUSE~MA, Suzi. That feeling is awesome and terrifying all at the same time.

Hee. May I tag please? This makes me laugh to no end. (Not because you have to smite anything, unless you're OK with that, but because of course a series of unfortunate events HAS to involve a foreign government.)

Ha ha, tag away! I was having an introductory meeting with someone yesterday and I mentioned in passing that it's never a good sign for clients when I show up to a conversation.

Major house-ma, Suzi, mah sistah in housing anxiety issues!

We had the inspection yesterday, still waiting for the full reveal, but structurally, the house is sound, with just a few mainly cosmetic thing suggested, not mandated. I don't think.

Got the AC fixed today, for a $95 copay from our house warranty. Chimney guy was out, but since the buyers knew the chiwney was inoperable when they made the offer and that we'd never fixed it because it would be PRICE-Y (house was built in 1929) the over $3000 the guy quoted to bring it up to code will hopefully be something they will not require and will do on their own when they can.

Our stated close date is April 3rd, but the buyers said they would be flexible, and I hope that all the news from the inspection is all right, and that they WILL be flexible, because we have a LOT of stuff to get rid of -- I will be Craigslisting like a mad thing, and whatever doesn't sell quickly, I'll Freecycle or donate to Habitat for Humanity's store.

We've looked at 3 places; one fell through, the one yesterday was...doable, but the one today was super. It only has 2 bedrooms, AND we would have to re-home Arthur, which makes me sad, but the potential buyers have said they would foster Arthur, and the ex-wife's in-law's would also take him until the ex has her new house and could take him. I've grown to love him, but trying to rent with 3 cats and a dog is so. hard. Especially since we're so fucking broke. But I will NOT abandon any of our pets; he will go to live with Micah or with someone who will let us visit him and who we trust.

Ohgod ohgod ohgod so much to do ohgod ohgod...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, everyone!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Roasted vegetables are the best, olive oil and salt. Red potatoes with Rosemary, asparagus and Brussel sports with lemon and butter, and mum has started roasting green beans, which I've never cared for. Parsnips and sweet potatoes julienned. I also adore spinach of any sort. Sugar snaps steamed al dente with butter and salt. Broccoli with lemon, cauliflower soup yum. My grandmother made creamed carrots that were divine, but I've never been able to cook it right.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Just signed the offer to be submitted and wrote a letter to the seller to try to sway her my way (suggested both by my realtor and loan officer).

I want to just sleep until Sunday night.
