On a brighter note - and by brighter I mean shining like a million candle light flashlight right in your eye - the house deal is coming together. We're still working out some of the details, but this thing is happening. I. AM. SO. EFFING. EXCITED. Have I mentioned that I love this house? I love this house. In fact, you're all invited to come visit once we're in there. (See, I can say that because I believe my readership is low enough, everyone could bring a bottle of wine and a sleeping bag and we'd have a ton of fun!) It needs a little work, though. The family room is kind of a piece of work. Two of the walls have wood paneling that I will need to cover with that stuff that makes it like sheetrock and paint it. And most unfortunately, I will not be able to replace the ugly, royal blue carpet before we move in, or this year, or even next year. I'm trying to figure out how to cover it in such a way that I can live with it. Plus it has track lighting. I anticipate a trip to Ikea in the very near future to buy something to replace that crap. I will stop this boring banter. I could prattle on like this for hours and you've probably already fallen asleep reading.

WAKE UP!! Oh, sorry - didn't mean to startle you. Nothing new to report. Just that - well - I heart my new house (even if the washer and dryer that are conveying look like they're from 1975).
