So this house got sold out from under my feet. And by “under my feet” I mean, I still can’t afford anything more than a refrigerator box, and I just admired it from afar (via the internet) but felt me and the house had a kinship unlike anything else the world has ever seen, even though I never saw it in person except when I creepily drove by it five times moving three miles per hour. But that’s in the past. Here is my current house of obsession:
I even saw it in person this time! Inside and out! Because my new thing is to go to open houses because they’re fun and give me lots of ideas for what I could potentially afford millions of years down the line when houses are obsolete and most people are living in underwater bubble cities. But isn’t it gorgeous? The hardwood floors are so shiny! And you see that picture with the bed? And that other picture with the rocker? Those are both the master bedroom. It’s huge and would be perfect for my office! There are also two more bedrooms upstairs and that room with the red furniture is an addition they put on in the back and it’s super private and cozy. But if I had it I would paint it a darker color to make it even cozier. And there’s even a totally finished basement! Oh, did I mention the pool? It has a pool. The only bad thing is that the back yard is up against a highway, but who goes outside these days anyway? And the owners are leaving their 4 built-in air conditioners so I wouldn’t even have to open the windows! But there’s still that little thing about not being able to afford anything. So I’m thinking that I’ll buy it and rent out all the rooms I won’t need to Puntabulous readers and we’ll set up webcams all over the place and start a naughty website to offset the costs. THE END.
April 1st, 2009 at 7:47 am
Hey Craig! How about some sort of Jerry Lewis type fundraiser on Puntabulous to help you raise the money! Anyone have any ideas what we can have Craig do on here to raise money?
April 1st, 2009 at 7:48 am
P.S. I love the house it looks perfect and move-in ready! Will you bring me my beer when I am floating in the pool?
April 1st, 2009 at 7:58 am
Sounds like a genius plan.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:28 am
This house is absolutely beautiful! Extremely cool!
I’ll pack up my Debauchery Cam and be on my way!
April 1st, 2009 at 8:28 am
The latest reality series: “Big Blogger”. Ten internet geeks with sallow complexions and cheeto-stained fingers are put in a house with a T3 line. Each week, the one with the fewest pageviews is sent back to their parents’ basement.
Tune in next week when the neighborhood Pizza Hut calls them back to confirm: “Did you really order this anchovy and jalapeno pizza?”
April 1st, 2009 at 8:34 am
And then the spin-off game show: The Weakest Hyperlink
April 1st, 2009 at 8:39 am
TwoPi: You’re brilliant.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:41 am
Wow, that is GORGEOUS. Its looks so much bigger on the inside and in beautiful condition.
Just to be nosey, how much does a house like that cost down there in the US? I am clueless about house prices but it would probably be about $250-300K here minimum. Probably more since new townhouses in the suburban developments are around $280K with no pool or trees or grass. Yeah, I rent.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:41 am
TwoPi: Funny, very funny.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:43 am
I know there are people who do raise money for things such as boob jobs and to pay off their debts. You just post a sob story somewhere and people send you money. Amazingly it apparently works. Not sure if its a special site or not.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:44 am
When I shared a house with 3 other math grad students [oh the wacky stories I could tell], one of our favorite pizzas was anchovy and jalapeno. But invariably ordering one would lead to a call-back.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:44 am
I like the Jerry Lewis fundraiser idea! What do I have to do?
LOL! @ TwoPi
Tam: The asking price is $339K, but it won’t get that. Will probably sell for closer to $300K since it’s a buyers market.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:49 am
Craig: Is Liberty House their name for it or yours? (It made me LOL.)
Do lawns really look that healthy in your part of NY in March? No one lives in a house that clean and well-maintained unless they’re putting the house on the market. If the outdoor photos are months old, maybe it’s been listed a while? Maybe they’ll accept a low-ball offer?
April 1st, 2009 at 8:52 am
LOL. Liberty is the name of the street it’s on.
The lawn looked that good when I saw it this past weekend. It’s really well maintained. The owners must have been outdoorsy because they had a vegetable garden and compost pit.
I think they are really anxious to move because all their furniture is already packed except the essentials. They have those big moving pods all packed up and ready to go in the back of their driveway. Apparently they’re moving to Arizona.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:56 am
That house is really adorable! Those hardwoods are absolutely sexy! And a pool?!?! In or above ground?
I was wondering how you made out looking at houses. I’m surprised by the price, I thought it would be higher in NY. Keep squirreling, you’ll get a house some day.
TwoPi: LOL! The other thing that made me laugh was the comment about clean houses. A friend of mine came over to our house for the first time recently and asked if our house was on the market. I said: “No, why?” and he said it looked too clean.
The Mrs. and I have control issues.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:58 am
I’m totally up for the live cam sex show thing, but the commute into the City is a killer. I mean, I’d still need my day job.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:58 am
The pool is a rounded rectangular shaped and above ground. If you look at the left of the back yard pic, you can see the steps and deck of it.
April 1st, 2009 at 8:58 am
If you like green lawns, avoid upstate NY from November through May. Although with any luck, for most of that time the brown death in the yard is buried under a foot or two of snow.
Do you have anything intangible or suitably wacky to sell on ebay? You could auction off your integrity, perhaps? Or a cheeto shaped like the Washington Monument?
April 1st, 2009 at 9:19 am
Wow, that’s not a bad price. I would have thought it would be more. Although as everywhere, prices are dropping here too though not quite as bad as in the US I don’t think.
David: Craig commutes, you can commute together. More fun with webcams. We had a reality show in Toronto about the people who ride the GoTrain to work in the mornings. I never saw it but it was supposedly popular. Well, popular may be a strong word. But the morning escapades of Craig and David. An internet serial. Aren’t you into those now? You could be the star.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:22 am
“In this week’s installment, Craig and David get arrested for sex in public!”
Genius!
April 1st, 2009 at 9:56 am
I love your house obsession…….so cute! And I think the website idea is genius. Since I don’t live anywhere near there, maybe one of the rooms could be a timeshare deal? My dream is to visit NYC during Christmastime.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:01 am
It looks like it has an interesting floor plan, not just a square/rectangular box. But watch out for cathedral ceilings, they look great but can double your heat/AC bills.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:07 am
Maybe my new avatar should be Buzz Killington.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:17 am
Aw, I like that house. I can’t quite figure out where the living room is, though — is it the photo in the top right? But the floor doesn’t match the dining room, so I can’t tell what that’s leading into.
You know, if you put that home in our neighborhood it would only cost 1/3 as much. The commute’s rough, though. [But surprisingly doable! Our next door neighbor goes to his NYC job every week.]
April 1st, 2009 at 10:23 am
Xi_Heather: This is how I kinda picture it: Walk in the front door, bedroom to the left, dining room to the right. Walk in the dining room, turn left and you face the kitchen. Through the kitchen is the add-on living space, then through the slide door to the back yard. Am I close, Craig?
April 1st, 2009 at 10:25 am
When you walk in the front door, the dining room is right there on the right. You walk through that to get to the kitchen, and past the kitchen is the added on family room. The middle-right picture gives you an idea of the dining room to kitchen to family room aspect. You can barely make out the ceiling fans in the family room.
The top right picture is the basement.
I’m assuming that originally, without the addition, the dining room was the living room, and the kitchen was an eat-in kitchen.
Thanks for the heads up Mark. The only cathedral ceiling is the family room, the rest is normal height.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:31 am
Wow, the beautiful finished basement would make it very tempting for me.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:51 am
I like TwoPi’s idea about the blogger competition. And if “Big Blogger” has anything to do with “Big Brother,” then the secret webcam sex shows will naturally be a part anyway.
Hmm…. or “Big Blogger” could be another sort of competition…
April 1st, 2009 at 11:00 am
I have a house obsession. It’s like a sickness. I look up all the ones I’ll never be able to afford and soak up photos of their beautiful hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows. Good lord I’m a sucker for a good window.
April 1st, 2009 at 11:14 am
Enrico, that would be the “Biggest Blogger” competition
April 1st, 2009 at 11:29 am
Here’s the difference between an American from the south (anything lower than the great lakes) and a Canadian. Mark commented on the increase in a/c bills due to catherdral cielings. That wouldn’t even have occurred to me. However the increase in your HEATING bills would come up in conversation.
Oh and how long is the driveway and how much shovelling will be involved.
April 1st, 2009 at 12:37 pm
It looks very nice. The more excited about the places you see the more agressive your saving will get. Before you know it you will be able to buy the home of your dreams.
April 1st, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Thanks for the encouragement Chris, but get the frak over to your blog and update us about your date! Geez!
April 1st, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Way to crack the whip Craig. Well done. You need some leather pants.
April 1st, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Don’t we all?
April 1st, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Since I have no hope of being able to afford a house anytime soon, my real estate fantasies don’t even bother with the realistic. This is the type of place I dream about:
CLICK HERE
It’s practical because I could walk to work
.
April 1st, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Ryan: If I put half a million down my payments would be less than 9K a month. Hmmmm. . Roomies? Anoyone? Like 12 of you? We could put bunk beds in all the bedrooms. Its beautiful though.
April 1st, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Really, Ryan? Who’d wanna live in the slums of La Jolla?
April 1st, 2009 at 1:54 pm
What a pretty house!
April 1st, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Tam: Twelve sounds about right to make that affordable.
Dave S.: I already live in the slums of La Jolla.
Matlab’s down, so I have plenty of time to fantasize about houses today.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:06 pm
My Mom just called me at work. She said in her most serious voice that the real estate agent called to cancel my meeting for another walk through of this house on friday because someone put a binder on the house.
As I saw there dumbfounded, not quite sure what a binder was, but thinking it couldn’t be good she yelled out APRIL FOOLS!
Ugh. Moms!
April 1st, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Craig: You’re doing more than going to open houses? It’s not nice to tease real estate agents.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Craig: Total kudos to your mom! That was awesome!
April 1st, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Cruel, but awesome!
April 1st, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Ryan: Well if all goes well this won’t be teasing.
April 1st, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Craig: Funny funny Mom.
April 1st, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Craig – you dont want a house! You’ll have to take care of it and pay on it and then the next thing it will be haunted and hollywood will makes movise about your gruesome death and the house that killed you like Amityville Horror or the Haunting in Conneticut. Oh, and you’ll have to take care of a lawn which is almost as bad as poltergeist!
April 1st, 2009 at 3:11 pm
So true GoKitty. I looooaaaaath lawn work. I’m thinking I can talk my parents into helping if I cook them dinner or something.
April 1st, 2009 at 3:21 pm
As gorgeous as that lawn looks now, I bet the neighbors will be keen to see just who moves in and how well the keep it up. Maybe if you cook for THEM they’ll pitch in on keeping up the yard, to keep home values high in the hood.
April 1st, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Post title: “House of Obsession” Wasn’t that a perfume endorsed by Joan Collins? Or a cheesy 90s horror flick?
I just googled the phrase: it isn’t in IMDB [which surprises me, almost as much as the fact that this post is already in google's database].
April 1st, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Tam: Does he need leather pants or leather chaps?
Craig’s Mom: I love you.
Craig’s Dad: I meant that strictly platonically, please don’t hurt me.
Craig: You’ll have a different view of yard work when it is yours. I still hate it, but I do feel good when my yard looks good. Plus, it is going to take way more than dinner.
April 1st, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Polt: I’m a pants girl myself. A nice butt encased in leather works for me. Boys, take note of that.
April 1st, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Oh, that house is so cute! At least the fact that it backs up to freeway will be comforting if/when it sells. But a pooooool! How awesome. I like the renting idea. We’ll can all live happily ever after with Craig!
We’re about to start house hunting too.
Ryan – the hub was just showing me pics of a condo in the slums of La Jolla. We could be neighbors : ).
April 1st, 2009 at 4:26 pm
It will also come in handy during the zombie infestation. Easy getaway!
April 1st, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Michelle M.: I’m not even on the west side of Gilman.
I’m sure you will enjoy the area.
April 1st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Oaky, first thing, why in GOD’S name was THIS post blocked by the blocker at work????? Stupid Internet blocker….
HUGS….
April 1st, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Dave S. has a Debauchery Cam??? Why am i just finding out about this NOW???
Craiggers: I LOVE your mom! Almost as much as Mama Polt.
Tam: ….um, thank you for the info, although I think you might have been referring to someone else’s comment. If not, well…um, okay, thanks.
Oh and the house is just adorable, Craiggers! Looks like a great place to hold the First Annual Puntabugang Summer Gettogether!
HUGS…
April 1st, 2009 at 6:51 pm
I would gladly rent a room from you in that cute little house but I think the commute back to Orange County would do me in! I’d be better off in the slums of La Jolla….(because there is such a thing…right?)
April 1st, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Polt: Damn, I saw a reference to leather chaps and assumed it was you commenting.
John, it was sneaky John.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:55 pm
That’s me, I sneak in there and comment like a comment ninja.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Ryan – Ha! We’ll probably end up in a box in El Cajon. You’ll have to visit.
The First Annual Puntabugang Summer Gettogether! I’ll bring my arugula/orzo salad.
April 1st, 2009 at 10:43 pm
“I sneak in there and comment like a comment ninja.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That has me laughing so loud, still, the neighbors probably wonder what’s going on!
Comment ninja…God, you slay me john…
HUGS…
April 1st, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Michelle M.: Sounds like a good idea.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:24 am
Craig: I have actually decided to get clearance from the guy to talk about our first date on my blog. I really like him, and I don’t want to risk that my blogging about him might make him uncomfortable. I just came out to him as an (aspiring) blogger. So I will see what he has to say after he checks out my blog.
April 2nd, 2009 at 9:37 am
I’m assuming that the reason for no new post is that Craig is doing the second walk through in prep for making an offer. If so, Good Luck!
April 2nd, 2009 at 9:47 am
No new post today because I was a bad boy last night and stayed out entirely too late and drank entirely too much beer.
April 2nd, 2009 at 9:57 am
Poor baby.
Hope they make it easy for you at work today. (unlikely but I can wish it)
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:17 am
But, did you get to do the walk of shame?
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:36 am
Certainly not. Polt might have gotten a drunken phone call though. I needed to thank him for the graphic novels he’s lending me and apparently it couldn’t wait till I was sober.
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:51 am
POLT: DETAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:53 am
Wow- that’s gorgeous! Even though mine is faux, I absolutely love having the wood floor in half my bedroom. I want to have the whole thing done that way. And there is nothing better than having a big bedroom!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed things work out for you!! You definitely deserve it. But if this isn’t the one, don’t do what I did and put off making your current living space as nice as possible. I kept putting off everything – When I get married, I’ll …get a big tv, a blu ray player, a bigger bedroom etc. etc. I almost never did anything for myself and consequently lived without for ten plus years.
Save of course but don’t be afraid to spoil yourself too! You deserve it and it makes going to work easier because you see the benefits now.
April 2nd, 2009 at 11:08 am
At least you didn’t send your ex a drunken ex message with “So Cruel” by U2! Pathetic!!!! Not that I would do that when I’m drunk. But it is a song a lot of people could relate to. Not that I would send it though. That would be pathetic!
April 2nd, 2009 at 11:11 am
Oh yeah, I want a Polt report. So is Craig a cute drunk? Does he get all mushy? How much beer do I have to buy when I come down there Craig? Is a six pack enough? You’re tall, might need more.
Mark: I’m sure you’d NEVER do that.
You’re much too classy.
April 2nd, 2009 at 11:18 am
Tam: Of corse id nevr doothat! Like u said im too crassy!
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:10 pm
OK, Bono is at least Bi!
Evidence: I disappeared in you, you disappeard from me. I gave you everything you ever wanted…..wasn’t what you wanted.
The men who Love you, you hate the most, they pass right through you like a Ghost!
I’m just sayin, speaks to every Gay man.
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:20 pm
I thought Bono was number 2, I mean number 1?
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I love it when Craig gets distracted by the everyday humdrum of work and I can hijack his blog. Welcome to Marktabulous!!!!! Ha Ha! No one can stop me now!
OK, I’m sleepy, back to you Craig.
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:23 pm
John: He’s number one.
Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:31 pm
“Did I disappoint you, or leave a bad taste in your mouth?”
Bad Mark grabbed control for a while, but I am back in control. Going to bed now, Sorry Craig.
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Awww, and I was just getting used to Marktabulous.
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:00 pm
How about Davabulous? Tamtastic? Johnormous? Michellarious?
I can’t think of one for Polt…
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Poltergeist.
Which is what he’ll be if he ever mentions my drunk phone call to anyone!
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Well, I am kind of johnormous, but again, I’m not McAnally. And Dave, aren’t you already abulous enough?
Poltergeist! Genius!
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Craig: did you really believe I was going to bed? I had to call Polt at work and this is what I found out:
1. I agree, Dave S. is hot!
2. No Way!. You may be tall but you are Not that limber!
3. LOL, I pulled the same muscle doing the exact same thing. It was worth the try!
OK, I’m really going to bed now, Love Ya!
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Poltergeist. Classic. I like Tamtastic too.
Night night Mark. Love ya back.
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
I just realized that Poltergeist was the movie we went to on my first date with my ex. Hmmmm. Perhaps it was a telling sign.
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:49 pm
If Polt died, came back as a ghost, and robbed a bank…would that be a Polterheist?
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Your age hasn’t slowed you down Dave.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Yeah, Tam, my humor’s still crawling at a snail’s pace…
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Hey! Only 10 more comments and we hit 100! It seems like it’s been a while since we hit that milestone…
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Will there be a cake if we hit 100? I might try harder if there is cake involved.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:22 pm
The cake is a lie.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Yay! The guy likes my blog and even wants me to write about our date! Perhaps he will inspire me to be a better blogger.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:29 pm
“The cake is a lie.”
Is it bad that I checked if that was a palindrome? Dave S has infected my mind. Just struck me as a random statement. I assume it’s a quote from a movie.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Yay Chris. Can’t wait for the details.
Cookies? I’ll settle for cookies if cake is unavailable.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I could make cupcakes. My last cupcakes were a hit.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Cupcakes are good Chris. I saw you had lots of raves. But not green, maybe blue argyle. Can you swing that?
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Just to run up the numbers. I hate refried beans. We went out for Mexican for lunch and I never eat the beans. They are gross, like baby food but less tasty. Cupcakes are waaaaay better.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:57 pm
If I’m at a Mexican place and they put refried beans on my plate I’ll usually eat them. Not particularly good, but not bad either. Would never order them if I had to pay extra for them.
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:03 pm
100!!!! Yaaaayyyyy!!! Cupcakes all around! Chris’ treat!
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:12 pm
The cake is a lie is from the game Portal. Simple concept, lots of fun. It translates to: “your promised reward is merely a fictitious motivator”.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=the+cake+is+a+lie
Chris: Get blogging! You had fun and he likes your blog. *crosses fingers*.
Tam: Well, I think this may be the darkside and we have been said to have cookies. The cookies better not be a lie.
Cupcakes are good, but I like mine cold.
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I’m like Captain Obscure today. Did anyone understand my Bono comment about #1 vs. #2 or is it just me again.
It’s lonely out here.
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:14 pm
john: Aren’t all cupcakes cold? Otherwise the icing melts and gets runny. Or do you mean refrigerated, not merely room temp? I’m sure Chris can stick one in the fridge for you. But cookies are good too. How about a cupcake with a cookie stuck on top. An oreo. Mmmmmm. I seem to need some sugar today.
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Your comment ninja status is slipping john. I was cluelss so didn’t comment and let you think I was laughing off-line at your wit.
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I didn’t understand the Bono comment either. Sorry john. But I love cold cake!
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Have you heard about that CBS series debuting this summer about a group of detectives that solve older crimes having to do with desserts? It’s called “Cold Cake.”
ba-dum-bum-chsh
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:30 pm
“Look at me still talking when there is science still to do”
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:32 pm
See, it is lonely out here.
The Bono comment was from a South Park episode where they claimed he was made of rather than just full of shit (that’s merde for you Tam!). (Shut up! I didn’t say it was as funny comment!).
Tam: I like my cupcakes, and cake in general, cold, as in from the fridge rather than just room temp. I appreciate the effort put into me thinking you are laughing off line, but I was convinced the only sound I heard was crickets chirping.
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:33 pm
GoKitty: Yaaaaaay!
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I like cold cake, and room temp and warm. Sigh. Okay, not so much warm. There is an amazing resturant in Winnipeg called Baked Expectations. They have about 15 kinds of cheesecake and about 20 other kinds of cake (all fairly cold). I lived in apartment behind that restaurant for a year. Take out for dinner was sugary chocolatey bliss? Ohhh yeahhh.
And well done throwing in a French swear word john.
April 2nd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Portal has one of the best endings while being simple and not having a 20 minute cutscene. The song is very catchy and cute and I always recommend the game to anyone who is looking for a non-hardcore game.
Here are the end credits

J’essaye Tam.
April 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Tam: My recent employer funded trips have revealed my love of carrot cake.
April 2nd, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I’ve got to get my own computer. Sharing with Mr. M while he works from home is not cutting it! : (.
Marktabulous – love it!
Tam – all this talk of cake. Now I must have some. You are evil.
April 2nd, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Unrelated question: I changed my avatar, can anyone see the new pic?
Michelle M: Tam’s not evil, she is just tattooed that way. (not really)
April 2nd, 2009 at 5:02 pm
john: all i see is a bunny
April 2nd, 2009 at 5:19 pm
john et al: You have to “clear your cache” and refresh and then you can see the new avatars. Ryan taught me that I think. I see your new bunny. Adorable, love those floppy ears. Mine has hardly any ears.
Ryan: Carrot cake. Mmmmmmm. Jobs are good for something besides stress and annoyance.
Oh and I AM evil john, I just try to hide it until a key moment and then spring it on people.
Michelle: Get a little netbook like I bought (on Craig’s recommendation). I can’t believe I used to share a computer with my daughter. How did we function with one? Its small but easy to move around and great for sitting on the couch and surfing or reading.

I freakin’ HATE the blocker at work…I STILL couldn’t get onto here there. So, I missed all the comments about the drunken phone call I got, what Mark and I talked about, Dave S.’s…well, humor, I guess, Tam lunch and everything else!!! Stupid work Internet blocker!!!!
I should have a post later this evening about the drunken phone call. *snicker* it was awesome. I laughed nearly all the way through it. Still laughing now. teehee….
HUGS…

Shhh, don’t tell Craiggers, but the “drunken call” post is up at my blog. *snicker*

Craig: Until your phone company adapts this technology to your telephone handset, maybe you should stick to email, and let the mail goggles on your acct on gmail save you from future exposure.
Just a thought.

Mark: Get in line…

(I tried to comment on your site, Polt, but it REJECTED me. I’m dissed by the Palace!)
So DaveS, what was your phone call from Craig like?
(And Craig, if you’re reading this, time for bed!)

Xi_Heather: Yeah, Polt’s comment thing rejected me too. I have a guess as to why…but we can talk about that in person without cluttering Craig’s comment space. I was able to post by selecting the “Name/URL” option, typing in whatever screenname I want, and then… well, maybe those get moderated, but still go through.
And yes, Dave S, we all want to know. Unless you were too, uh, embroiled in your own birthday revelry last night to have a reliable memory today…. In which case, make sh*t up. We’ll love it.

john – your bunny is almost as cute as tipsy Craig.
(and Craig – just say reading Twilight is “research” for becoming a bestselling author. Gotta know the trends and whatnot).

TwoPi said “sh*t”……tee hee.
It doesn’t take much to entertain me.
April 2nd, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I think TwoPi and Heather are too pure and innocent, hence the rejection by the Palace. It was for their own protection.
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Well I DO have the “innocent detection” software active for the Palace. Keeps the prepubescents out. And TwoPi and Heather as well, apparently.
HUGS…

Update on the house: I saw it again, and was able to see a lot of the flaws I missed at the open house. And there’s still that whole money thing. So yeah, I’m not making an offer. Gonna try and pay off more student loans and not go to any more open houses because it makes me sad when I can’t actually get them.
