It's gorgeous!
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Aw, pretty house.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That looks lovely, Jessica!
1309 square feet definitely doesn't leave a lot of room for hosting
Ah ha ha ha! I'll have to invite you over to hang in my 1100 square feet of chaos some time.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Very pretty, Jess! I was actually expecting the price to be higher.

You could also rent tents and heaters for outside space if that big. But the kitchenspace looks sufficient to me (but I'm used to rowhouse, so tripping over people not a thing,)
Dad is back on water board and running a campaign in a stealth election for soil & conservation board. He drew first listing on the ballot and Sierra Club is rallying supporters. Tea partiers aren't going to know what happened to them. It doesn't do much, but could if it wasn't resolutely antigovt. This will be interesting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, we're living in 900 now so it felt pretty spacious! And that 1309 doesn't include the basement.
The other house we saw was bigger, but had a really awkward upstairs layout - there were four huge bedrooms, but they all kind of just opened up onto the landing, there was no real hallway to separate any of them. It was also more expensive and needed a LOT more work.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
We manage pretty well with 1330 sq ft. Yes, hosting a big group means some squeezing, but we've done Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, and brunches, and done just fine.
Gris, how are you all feeling today?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
That's a beautiful house, Jess.

Lovely, Jess, and the price! Oy.
So I was going to host Sunday dinner at my sister's house, with my nieces & some friends of theirs & my Dad, and round about 3 PM the urghy feeling in my belly graduated from mild discomfort to actual nausea. I ended up spending all afternoon on the futon, alternately sleeping and reading Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief.
Happily, my niece came by to pick up the pie & bread I had made, and the chicken I had bought to cook, so they all had a nice dinner. I had ginger ale and half a banana. :-(

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. - shrift
I hope you feel better soon, 'suela.
Jess, that house is great! I'm floored at the taxes though. I thought metro DC was bad.
