in case it wasn't clear… we're engaged!

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

So the Chop proposed Friday night (and yes, I said yes, lol), and while normally I'd be happy as a clam, my parents were not as enthused as I would've preferred Instead, my parents gave me a bit of grief because the Chop didn't ask permission for my hand—I should note ...

vgt's omnivore's hundred — my version

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Alright, I found this via the Very Good Taste blog and it's really entertaining. He put together a list of 100 food items every omnivore should try, and it's a little scary how many creepy things I've tried—61/100 on this list. Instructions 2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. 3) Cross out any ...

The house is clean, the tree is up and we are totally settled in the new place. Not the best picture, lol, but that's the tree, in front of the fireplace. Here's the new place.Before the tree... View into the kitchen And where I am sitting right now I don't have any good upstairs ...

move 2007.2.0

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

We're on day two of the move and almost everything is done. My parents are awesome and the Porkchop's friend who came up from CT is possibly the most necessary mover-helper ever. The guy can move, that is all I have to say. The PC and my dad are sitting in ...

the waiting game

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

And it's inevitable.. attaining perfection is a crowded road. We heard back from the owners of the great house. Apparently they've had "overwhelming" interest and they've "narrowed it down to just a few folks." We're "very high" on their list, so basically it's just a waiting game. I'm not at all surprised, ...

the perfect house

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

For the past week we've been scouring Craigslist and talking to realtors in neighboring towns. Yesterday we saw another place with one realtor, in the town we wanted, and when he said the two places we've seen were the best, we knew we had to make a decision today. When we got ...

on moving, illness and the landlord

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

When I know a move is looming.. even though our lease won't run out for seven months.. I start looking. The Porkchop is not a fan of this, particularly since I found something awesome already. Oops. What can I say? Craigslist is awesome, lol. It's on the water, 2Bed, 2Bath, with.. ...

what did i do?

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Here's what I don't get. I'm a nice person. I pay my rent on time. I leave the places I've rented cleaner than when I first moved in. I handle the problems that arise WITHOUT bothering the landlord. So what exactly have I done to make ANOTHER landlord decide to sell ...
