happy new year! We ended last year looking for our dream home. Our dream home that cost WAYYY less than $400K and was a mile or less to the Silver Spring metro. HA. Fat chance!! We did find a couple of suitable condos, though, to tide us over until we're millionaires. We'll see if any new places come onto the market in the next couple weeks then maybe make an offer.

So very exciting! I've been walking around our apartment enjoying all the things I will not miss when we move!

Last year was the best ever probably, due to the wedding. Can we top that this year with home buying?! And possibly getting a dog?! Or at least a new couch? Hm.

We spent New Year's Eve at the Black Cat with a ton of friends, and it was pretty darn fun. I love the Black Cat because you ALWAYS see other people you know there. Lately I've seen knitty folks, so that's a pretty fun crossing of worlds. This year I found Pink Monkey Jenna up front being blasted out by Peaches O'dell. Or, she found me! Yay for small town DC, at least when all the govies leave town for the holidays! :)

Today I am "working" from home while the rest of the DC world has off for Gerald Ford's funeral. And doing loads of errands. So I will have to take some leave as well. Boo.  ¶ 09:53
