Wonderings
My mind was wandering the other day (as it often does), and I wondered if there was a service for reporting what had happened to a house before purchase, like Carfax does for cars. That would probably save a lot of money and grief, especially if it's a house that has had something unpleasant occur, like a murder or suicide. I wonder what that says ( Read more... ) -

Happy Birthday swiftangel :-). I hope it's a good one. ( For some reason, the memory of you and Alryssa imitating the seagulls from "Finding Nemo" is stuck in my brain now---"Mine!Mine!Mine!) -

That should be just before Thanksgiving (ah, the ( Read more... ) -

diet update
As of Saturday, it has been two weeks since I started on my diet. I weighed myself on Saturday and I have lost a total of 10 pounds over two weeks :-). I guess we must be doing something right. It's more food prep than we're used to, but at least we now know what we're eating. And Alryssa's not really on a diet, (she definitely doesn't need to be ( Read more... ) -
