The 30+`10 works out to nearly 8 minutes actually, I've done this a few times since the NY Times article came out. The first 8 minute cycle through feels pretty fine, it's the second one that starts to pull you down. If you don't space it out (keep those 10s rests only 10s) this is an intense workout.

I want toile wallpaper now, even though it would go with nothing else in the house. :) It's great.

Oh, and my family did this plenty as my dad was in the Air Force. Sometimes we got something really amazing and sometimes there were roaches and you knew specifically which neighbor was on the toilet. You can do anything if it's temporary.

My dad and I had a model train set up when I was a kid. It was pretty great, but that sort of thing is very space intensive and I couldn't possibly have one in my house now with out taking up a whole lot of room.

My husband and I high-five when we stay at someone's house with two twins rather than a regular full sized bed. We're spoiled by our king at home which allows for two very different temperature preferences in the same bed.

My parents' guest room has always had two twin beds. It's handy for when your guests aren't significant others. The room's never felt juvenile to me.

My cousin has a lab named Whiskey who needs that barrel.

The first house we saw when we started looking was The House. It had great character, but wasn't too, too old. The lot was well wooded and the deck ran the whole length of the house. While we were discussing it another potential buyer with a less than ideal loan paid for a home inspection to show they were serious about the property. The inspection turned up a major crack in the foundation. The home owner offered to fix the crack ($35K), but the the problem was that very interesting lot turned out to put a lot of hydrostatic pressure on one side of the house. Our realtor strongly recommended we not buy the house since it would be an on going problem. We love our current house and know she was right (she's also our friend's mom and was very candid about things) but still sometimes talk about that house and wonder.

Yeah, I'm liking feedly so far too. It's a nice interface.

I can't say this has ever been a particular issue for me. This morning I cut up half a banana to put on toast and tossed the second half, in the skin, into a baggie. I just ate it with tea. It was kind of smushed and the skin was now black, but it's still a good banana. Banana holders crack me up. They're so, um, suggestive?

I will cut up plums and apricots and put them in a container for work, mainly because working around the pit is easier at home.

Right now I have all my maternity clothes either stacked on top of my dresser or in a particular section of my closest. I refuse to make real space for them or put other things away. I inform them that they are temporary and should not make themselves at home.

Sigh, except the industrial strength bras. They're probably here to stay. And the old bras and button downs are probably gone for good. I'll miss you, Dalmatian print pussy-bow blouse.
