Get rid of ( Read more... )

So, when Sean's dad left town, he put his house on the market. The woman he hired to sell it was... well, needed her head removed from where not head should get stuck, and she never even managed to follow through on the one offer he did get. So, the house is off the market ( Read more... )

Which may still be three to six months away. But it's been on everyone's mind and talked about a lot.

Well, you can check out this post over at itsadollslifeToday, I made shirts. Two T-shirts and a hooded sweater. I'll get pics of them eventually. I had wanted to replace Sterling's original "Angst Bunny" hoodie with one that was gray (and one that I didn't scorch the decal when ironing it).
