I did not know this…

you can get granite countertops that simply attach to existing countertops.

amazon.com sells kitchen sinks!

Houses

it’s really hard to be patient on finding the right house. we’ve looked at so many, and we cannot find one that suits us. there are so many with little (or big) things wrong with them. we can find a great house, but there’s a freeway planned to go at the edge of the property (with a sound wall, and the property is .77 acres…so perhaps?) . we’ve found several great lots (lots of woods, great deck, screened in porch, a fishing pond within 5 min. walking distance, etc.) but the houses are too small.

hopefully the market will open up a bit more as spring and summer arrive.

Singin’ in the Rain

i saw the broadway presentation of “singin’ in the rain.” i LOVE that show!!! i had so much fun. am really enjoying my vacation.

finished farenheit 451 and xenocide this week. both are excellent books. xenocide is best if you read the first 2 books in the series though–ender’s game, and speaker for the dead. i really dig orson scott card. now i can move on to ender’s shadow.

note: forgive me for the lack of links. i’m on dial-up so it’s not quite so convenient.

been a really great week. i’m really enjoying life these days. though we didn’t get the house we made an offer on, charlie’s got a job and we now have time to look longer and harder for the best house possible. and my family’s taking it VERY well. i’m very lucky to have such a supportive family.

w00t!!

Viral Campaign

the worst part about msn’s viral “msn found” campaign isn’t that it’s a site with fake bloggers linking to msn searches. no big deal. a company’s gotta do something to get out there. what i hate about it is all the videos they have featured (that i saw) are old! i saw the blubber blowout a while ago! and the break dancing kid? been there. done that.

that’s my only problem with the internet….people push old information like it’s brand new. whatever happened to that little thing called time? so what if it doesn’t exist…
