Happy Belated Pioneer Day
I actually thought of this the 26th, two days after the holiday. This is the first year I haven’t remembered the holiday when I see July 24th written someplace. I guess I have finally moved out.

We Go Out Again Friday
Yeah, the new man in my life. My realtor. Who did you think it was? Tall, dark, gorgeous and Canadian?! I’ve done everything I said I’d do. I have my list (though one property has been pulled). I’ve read my book and paperwork. The pre-approval letter is in his office and I’ve spoken to another [...]
And Just One More Thing
And just one more clip to make you irate in case you’re not mad enough already. It’s the clip entitled “Fighting Foreclosure”, not the one on the most expensive cities. How a woman making $50,000 a year could for one moment think she could get a house worth $560,000 and NOT foreclose takes my mind [...]
Hopkins
ABC’s show Hopkins, a miniseries on the life and times at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, is finally real life in a hospital. There have been a lot of medical dramas from the good days on ER to the current Gray’s Anatomy. None have come close to what life is like at a top [...]
My Chocolate Stash Is Gone
As many of you know, I’m in the midst of house-buying. Well, not really a house. At least I don’t think I want a real HOUSE per se. Even if they do appreciate better. But then there’s that maintenance thing. I have a hard enough time hanging pictures. How would I ever afford a HOUSE. [...]
The Top Three
This past Tuesday, my realtor and I finally went to look at what’s on the market. I met him at a place after work and then he took me around from there. We saw ten properties and out of the ten, i had a more or less clearly delineated top three. They’re different types of [...]
The Week
On Wednesday, I met up with some friends in Old City for drinks. Of course the topic turned to my househunting. Listen, I love my friends. They’re great people. But at one point there some things were said that have bothered me since. They’ve left me wondering if indeed I’m the only one who reads [...]
Reprieve
I’m with one day left to go in this Week From Hell. My fuse is nonexistent and anything and everything drives me into a knee-knocking panic or a flying rage. Ah, fatigue. What it does for your life. These are the dog days of summer early. I can barely keep my eyes open because of [...]
The Beginning Of the Summer
I won’t wax poetic about patriotism. I’ll say nothing about the cookouts you people with regular jobs participated in this weekend. I’ll not breathe a word about three days off or the beginning of the “summer driving season” or anything remotely related to a holiday. I’ve just worked 24 hours of overtime and the brutality [...]
