Another One of Those Days

Sniffle. The house didn't pass the termite inspection. So now we're looking again. This whole house-hunting thing is very dispiriting, especially with so many people involved. My in-laws, who are genuinely wonderful people, keep sending us to look at houses that are nothing like I want.

The basic requirements we have decided on are:

1.) 4 bedrooms (we're trying to get Dad to move down, and we want a large family)
2.) Big eat-in kitchen
3.) Family room that can comfortably accomodate us, hypothetical children, actual Dad and all the critters
4.) Big yard for afore-mentioned critters

So running all over to look at houses with three bedrooms, no yard, and a galley kitchen is not a productive way to spend my evenings.

Plus I'm so tired lately. Falling asleep on the couch at eight o'clock, waking up only to go to bed, and sleeping until the alarm goes off at seven. And I've done that every day this week. Plus I'm all weepy, swollen, and having strange twinges. Starting to think that possibly hypothetical babies may be getting less hypothetical by the moment.

Or maybe I'm just stressed by new house/job/etc.

To be continued, I'm sure...

Deperate plea for info: Aside from taking a test, how does one start to tell?

Almost seasonal...Guess the Saint

I was just reminded of the best costume party I ever attended: the Come as Your Favorite Saint Halloween/All Saints' Day party. Invented (of course) by a bunch of religion majors with too much time and access to Fox's Book of Martyrs.


Can You Guess the Saint?

1.) Man wearing a sweatshirt with a big number 1 and rocks glued all over.

2.) Woman with a toy boat who drank a lot of beer.

3.) Man with an oven rack stuck to his front.

4.) Woman with an apron full of hamburger buns.

5.) Man with a fishbowl (including fish) that he talked to. He also has a large assortment of keys and eyeglasses.

6.) Man with two candles and a packet of Halls lozenges.

7.) Man who painted the lower part of his face gold.
