In Columbus after an... invigorating day with the neicephews. We went to the zoo, and Graeter's and our hotel pool, and played and walked and looked at and swung around and caught when jumped on and bawled on and screamed at and snuggled and hugged and laughed with.

Am so tired. But a good day.

Happy birthday to meara!

That's all I got because of massive skippage. I did see the fabulous Jilli pics. Wow!

erin, I know your pain! Your experience is exactly mine. Three times I tried to buy a house in New Jersey, and all I could afford were crumbling hovels in places I'd be uncomfortable just driving through.

The other half of my duplex is for sale. Want to move to Virginia? I'm desperate for someone sane and nice to buy it.

I like Lancome's pencil eyeliners. They have great colors, great consistency and last forever.

I love the khaki green color. Best $25 I've ever spent. It's about 6 years old, and a nub, but still fantastic.

Hahahaha, nothing would make my parents happier than me moving back to Virginia. I just love Portland way too much to leave. I would be totally fine with a duplex or townhouse or even condo if it had some yard space. I need gardening space and to be able to let the kitten of doom outside. Sadly, all the condos and townhouses around here are fully "landscaped" and even if there is a wee patch of ground, they won't let you do something reasonable like plant blueberry bushes there.

Jooooooiiiinnnnn mmmeeeeee.

Who don't you move out here? There are some nice duplexes if i can add in another income :)

I just moved HERE. And I love it, so, yeah, not leaving. Sorry!

Oooh, a duplex of Zen and erin-o would be a serious nexus of all things fun and desirable.

Oh, the parties we could have.
