Hi!!! I lust for books, especially romance novels & you'll always find me with a book in hand on my yuppie commute on the DC Metro. I'm giving Amazon Associates a try, & I buy all my books myself or get them at the library.
Check out my I haven’t read one book this week. SAD FACE to the max :(
Our closing on the new house was delayed due to paperwork problems, we found a leak our first day after moving in, the shower heads don’t work, and the closet is too shallow to fit a hanger.
So I’ve been a little wrapped up in all that BS and basically shut myself off from the rest of the world, including blogs.
But it’s all worth it since we own our very first home all to ourselves! And we are going to make it SO fabulous y’all! And our neighbors are super nice, introduced themselves and invited us over for drinks already! And our home is gorgeous!
Hopefully with the long weekend we’ll finally get totally unpacked, I will finally be able to return all my friends’ phone calls and I will read AT LEAST one book! But mostly I hope to sleep, like this:
But shhhh, don’t tell hubby, because Kedzie is totally not allowed on the couch!

Your new place looks AMAZING- can’t wait to visit!
What Patrick said. Although a quick trip from So Cal would be quite a feat!
Pho: thanks, as soon as we saw it we knew we HAD to have it!
Rosie: you are about as far away as you can get from me!
It looks beautiful – besides the small closet ;)
WOW! Looks great. Sorry you had all those problems. Hope all is fixed now.
I’ve managed to read almost one book in the last week or so. I hoping to get a bit more done tonight but who know how long I’ll get lost in the bookstore. (I’m sure there room in the car for a couple (or dozens) more books.)
HOLY CRAP! Your new place is so gorgeous!!
Very nice! Your new home looks awesome. :)
Wow wow, love your home. It’s so gorgeous!
