I did try the new "Oprah Chai". I think it might have crack in it, because I've had it two more times since, and keep craving it.
On behalf of my former employer, one of the beneficiaries, thank you! The Choprah (TM a guy at my local Starbucks) is the only thing I've bought at a non-hotel Starbucks in years.
Teppy, shall we move to your neighborhood? (The commute for the kids would be a bitca, though.) [link]
The woodwork in that house is KILLER.
That's the house next to the library! Also, you'd be right on the parade route! Also -- YES, obviously! Life in the Taco District is great.

Man, I love that porch.
Oh, the proper upkeep of all that millwork. But the blue room--dining room?--is such a perfect blue. Is that Wedgewood Blue?
All I can see, though, is people bashing themselves on that piano by the front door.
Our neighborhood has some amazing old homes. The Historical Socieety does (or did) a walking tour of Northside, and I can't remember if we stopped at that house or not. I know we stopped at the library next door. (All outside; the tour didn't include going in the buildings.)
(Our house, however, is not one of the amazing old homes. It's a tiny 2-bedroom bungalow with not enough storage space and too much stuff. It would be a good stop on a tour of hoarders.)
Timelies all!
Ugh. All the Easy Spirit stores in my general vicinity have closed. Nearest thing are outlet stores in Leesburg and in the Potomac Mills outlet mall, neither of which are convenient to me. I have ordered shoes on-line, and hope the pumps fit reasonably well. (If they do, I'll have dress shoes for a while as I don't wear them often.)
