Sold!

We like to move it move it

So! Since last I had a second to pop in here, we’ve had nine buyers come through, including five at a good Open House on Sunday. We have another showing in an hour and a half (ack!) and then we’re meeting with the agents at 2 p.m. to discuss some offers. Offers! Two! That makes […]

OMG, first showing

So we are officially on the market. I can’t believe we’re doing this. And somebody is actually going to come see the house! They want to see my house! In 33 minutes! Cormac is napping and it’s almost dinnertime so I guess we’ll be hanging out at Applebee’s, crossing fingers. The house is all cleaned […]

Thoughts while watching the fourth season of The Wire

• Jimmy McNulty: I can’t figure out what makes him so attractive.
• Utz Jalapeno potato chips smell weirdly like Chinese food.
• Hey, I’ve been there!
• And there!
• But never there. Oooh, scary.
• I feel much safer, as a Baltimore resident, post-Wire than I did before.
• Second season had my favorite version of the theme song.

Ready to do this thing nonetheless

Well, the house goes on the market in like two hours. As I explained to Owen, that means our friendly real estate agents are going to come over, take a bunch of pictures, and start letting strangers poke through our medicine cabinet. Like a party, right. Only without warning and without any Parrot Bay (and […]

Mixin’ it up ‘round here

So hey guess what? My super awesome husband scored a new job. Can I get a woot?
Just to mix things up a bit — life with two little kids just gets so dang calm and peaceful sometimes! — we have decided also to sell our house. Why not? The housing market is softer than room-temperature […]

Mackie and the cake

This is what happens when you wake a baby up from a perfectly serviceable nap to have his birthday cake.

At least I can look at the pretty things

Found a great tutorial roundup at The Princess And The Monkey today. The tin can cover tutorial, from an old issue of Cotton Friend, is especially cute — just to name one. I absolutely cannot get started sewing things right now, even though I seriously want to, but I’m bookmarking this with a gilded […]

• who’s there?

  Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there. Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.
