Squeaky Clean

Sun, 04/30/06 9:07 P GMT-07
The house is clean.  The garage is full, and there is not nearly enough Harvey's Bristol Creme in the house to keep me sane.  Our house will go on the market this week and it will be a miracle if I can keep the house together for more than

No news from my lawyer in Boston about whether the agreement has been countersigned yet.  We have a scheduled closing date of June 7, which is coming up super fast.  I have to say that I am more looking forward to the closing than I am

Signed contract is heading to Boston tonight. There has been much moving of furniture and packing of junk at home.  Tomorrow the carpet cleaners come - our house goes on the market this weekend.  I did mention I am not a naturally neat

How to come across as a moron without even trying.

So last Sunday I met up with knitblogger  Carla in an effort to start making friends BEFORE I move cross country.  (In my own defense, there were no knit-bloggers in New Mexico in 2001) Carla is totally cool. Not only is she from Santa

First and most importantly, Happy Birthday to my wonderful P. who turns 32 today.  He is compassionate, generous, and funny.  He never questions the appearance of new yarn in the house, and often surprises me with yarn-related activities on

Ours!

The offer was accepted! I cannot even describe how on top of the world I am!  I am not going to say anything else to jinx the entire thing, but once I get past next Saturday (and the home inspection) I will go into detail.  Maybe tonight I

Blogging from Somerville....Well.  I put an offer on a condo today.  I will know by 11 am Eastern Time whether P. and I will be happy homeowners of one kick-ass condo.  I don't want to talk too much about the place - I will be heartbro

I am starting to get a little nervous people.  On Thursday, the day after tomorrow, I leave for a four day visit to Boston.  I am looking for a house. And while I don't HAVE to find  a place in four days, it would make life so much eas

Flashing the Stashiness

How lucky for me that the Sock Yarn Addict's Club and Flash Your Stash happened to coincide this year! First the sock yarn on just a few of the chairs I live with: My traditional yarn: Jangwoll Superwash, 2 colors of Froelich Blauband, Lana Gro
