A few too many animal remains on the ground floor for my taste, but otherwise it's an elegant and beautiful home!

Um... I think some of these links direct to the wrong pages. Can we get that fixed? Thanks!

oh, the possibilities! I'd start with all the mending that's backed up and then move on to a new bed for my dog. I'd love to finish the edges of some fabric and make some wall hangings, too. Oh please pick me! :)

I finally stopped by this store last week and was really impressed with the stock -- 7-pc Paul McCobb dining set, the AWESOME Hans Olsen dining room set that everyone (including me!) loved from one of the Small Cool posts this year. I have to say, though, that the prices seemed really exorbitant, even for meticulously restored mid-c pieces. I've been hunting for that Hans Olsen set and was so excited to find it, but he's asking $4500 (!!!), which seems like a lot (one recently sold on eBay for $2500). Case in point: Room Service is charging $120 for an enamel bowl that a friend and I found last weekend at the Edgewater Antique Mall for $40. When I asked the guys at Edgewater what they thought of Room Service they told me that they suspect the owner is hoping that customers aren't savvy enough to know that these pieces are available elsewhere for less money (to those willing to do a little digging around).

Maybe I'm wrong! Maybe to those with a more generous budget (which, sadly, don't have! :) these will seem like great deals. For me, though, this will have to be a place for inspiration rather than acquisition!

My 8-week old puppy got his hands (okay, teeth) onto my cell phone. Twice. *sigh*

Ugh, our iron is so crappy I try to iron as infrequently as possible! If we had a better iron -- nudge, nudge -- I'm sure I would make it more of a habit :)

I have a great recipe for burgers that I got from Cooks Illustrated, but -- sadly! -- no grill to make them in my own kitchen :(

Well, let's see...
2 Powerbooks
external speakers
lamp
desk lamp
three (yes, three!) external hard drives
cell phone charger

It doesn't sound so bad as a list, but DEAR LORD it's a MESS!

Our usually-well-behaved mutt managed to eat a carton of eggs (yes, and ENTIRE carton) in the time it took us to run back to the car for a second trip of groceries. (Okay, so I chatted with my neighbor for a few minutes..) At that point all we could do was wait and see what it would do to his digestive system. Even though much of the mess -- though sadly, not all *sigh* -- was limited to the yard and the mudroom, it wasn't pretty... I'll spare you the details :)

Along with many others, it seems, I am terrified of grilling pizza. One sticky-doughy-charred disaster a couple years ago was all it took for me to give up on the endeavor entirely. Please help!
