I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Both houses are so wonderful! (But Nora's got the Glamour photographer on the job -- those are wonderful, almost-Scola-worthy shots for a showcase.)

No word from the possible job. Time to spend some of my afternoon starting to apply for other ones -- that will either ensure I get an offer or could start getting a trickle of interest to succor me through the inevitable no-offer mood crash.

Cool, that's just an hour away!

What's ACL?

Unless it's Austin City Limits

Yes it is. I attend weekend one of the festival. Not yet sure of my arrival/ departure dates and times.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

(Laughing at Dana. You never know...)

Congratulations, msbelle and Nora! Both houses are just wonderful and enviable--I can't decide which I'd prefer, were I in the market for a house. I will say, my mouth literally watered at the sight of the blue glass tile backsplash in Nora's kitchen. Gorgeous!

I love all the period details left at msbelle's, contrasted with the sleek and clean and modern new surfaces.

Stunners, both of them. Congratulations again!

I was wondering why there were so many posts, but it turns out to be good news! Yay, houses!

Oh, my god, the person who's currently working at potential fancy new job was apparently an X-Files BNF.

Wow, welding is more racy than I thought!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay for new houses!

Mr. S was a complete terror for the nanny. He went into his room, slammed the door shut, then trashed the room. After that he managed to open his window, push out the screen and throw things out of it. I don't know what to do with him when he's like this...
