insert joke about sausage here
Hey, dudes. Sorry about the no blogging for like two weeks. I've been busy. (I mis-typed that as "busty". Ha ha ha.) There was a bunch of Ren Faire and we're like, you know, buying a house, and there was a wedding to go to, and I like, got a job.
NO, that is not a typo. I got a job. Me. Lazy McSnoozerson. I wasn't even looking for one. It sort of fell into my lap. I'm not going to tell you where it is because I haven't asked my boss if it's okay if I blog endlessly about all the crazy customers we get at this cool place in Napa that makes fancy sausages, but you might be able to figure it out if you were a smarty pants.
All I'm sayin' is that I smell an awful lot like really good beef jerky right now. Yesterday I smelled like thyme and duck confit, and last Thursday you could detect my eau de bacon across the room. It's awesome, but it is SERIOUSLY interfering with my knitting and tv-watching.

Oscar Challenge: 1940
Call me crazy, but I'm going to have to disagree with the Academy on this one. Not that I don't like Rebecca. Heck, it's not that I don't love Rebecca. What's not to love? Dreamy, dreamy Lawrence Olivier, fabulous story, genius Hitchcock. It's one of my all-time favorite movies, but nothing can beat The Philadelphia Story.
The Philadelphia Story is PERFECT. It's magic. If I had to go to a desert island with one movie, this would be it. Seriously, what's not to love? Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. It's witty and romantic and clever and it was ROBBED. It totally should have been Best Picture.

truck not included
Okay, what about this house? You like it? Good, because I love it and our offer on it has been accepted. We're reviewing the inspection reports (they were done three months ago) tonight. Wish us luck.
I really liked the red house, but I am bonkers about this one. Yes, the kitchen was last remodeled in the 'sixties (I actually sort of love the avocado green Kitchenaid dishwasher), and some doofus faux-finished the hardwood floors, but that shit is fixable.
I'm going to just shut up now and wait until we see these reports.
