Timelies all!
The blinds guy is installing blinds here. He's done all the bedrooms, and is now doing the kitchen. After he's done, we'll go get lunch and haircuts.(Well, Gary and Mr. S will get the latter.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

As I lay in bed, not-sleeping in, I had this day dream of inviting the neighbors to hang out in our yard on Friday evenings - I'd make a pitcher of lemonade, have fruit and veggies to offer for snacks, get yard games to play... maybe somebody would feel like grilling. We had two new families move in to the block, and the weather has sucked so bad I haven't gone to introduce myself, and it's been so long since they first moved in I feel a bit shy. But stll, it would be possible to make up for lost time, right?
Sure, WindSparrow! That's a lovely idea.
Day two of WhimsyCon (steampunk/costuming). So many amazing outfits. I've been busy and unable to take pictures - but WOWOWOWOW!
K-Bug and grandkid are here, painting a Starry Night, and then they can add a geeky silhouette. I think one will have Batman.
We have a friend who sleeps in a hammock every night...in his apartment in NYC. He loves it and says it's cured all his back pain. He's done this for years. No trees in his studio apartment.
Fun, Suzi!
Suzi, that does sound fantastic.

Of course! We never see our neighbors in the winter (save for shoveling).
We found a couch. This perfectly nice, ridiculously wealthy young family is redoing their basement, so they're selling their 2nd couch for $75. It's a microsuede full-length, plush, fully reclining sofa.
Guys, I was thinking we were gonna have to drop $400-$600 to get a decent sofa, and I would have paid $400 for this sofa and I'm pretty darned excited about it.
And I got a crazy-solid butcher's block that will extend my kitchen counter space by 5 feet and has weirdly perfect dimensions from a different wealthy older lady for $50.
My bargain kismet was on fire today!!
Way to go, Strix!
My nephew got rid of his bed and hung a hammock in his bedroom for years. He recently switched back to a mattress but he isn't completely sold on it.
