I'm in a very dark place today. And there aren't even any cookies here. Damn. -
Not quite the East Side, but moving on up nonetheless.
I've officially signed the revised purchase agreement on my new townhouse and hope to close mid-August. Oh, and for those of you not on Facebook too, I should explain: I'm moving. I bought a townhouse in North Raleigh/"Midtown", just a few minutes from North Hills. It's an older unit built in 1972 (a terrific vintage) - but thoroughly renovated on ( Read more... ) -

The weekend's excitement: Met up with poofter2 on Saturday. We dined at a fine Chinese buffet, perused Trader Joe's in Cary, then went back to my place, whereupon I initiated Scott into the Cult of Ugly Betty. One more recruit and I get the free toaster, woohoo! Saturday night we headed over to ERUUF in Durham for the NC Pride Band's spring concert, also ( Read more... )
