Perhaps this was all prompted by the gift of a Cuisinart

This week:

  • My mom came to visit.
  • We bought a vacuum. Bagless.
  • We saw Elizabethtown and liked it.
  • Most of the Fairkids left for fall break and I've started to get some sleep again. the few that are left still wake me up in the middle of the night.
  • I booked a ticket home for Thanksgiving.
  • I ate carbonated candy.
  • I looked online at houses we can afford, houses I think we could afford in a few years, and houses we'll never be able to afford.
  • My nesting instinct doubled.
  • I tried to bribe Lauren to buy a house or have a baby by offering her a puppy and a KitchenAid mixer.

    I'll give you a baby for a Kitchen Aid mixer. That's been on my Christmas list for 6 years, and I am still mixer-less. I am very disappointed about this.

    I want a house *and* a baby. And a puppy and a Kitchenaid mixer, too.

    We found this awesome, completely affordable "fixer-upper" house earlier this week. Unfortunately, we'd have to break our lease and find new jobs (it's too far away from our current workplaces) to be able to buy it. But it's just so, incredibly tempting.
