I promise to write more soon. I have an idea. Really. Several of them, and at least one of them might make it out of my head and onto the blog.
In the meantime, I was recently interviewed for the Say Anything blog, and that edition posted on Monday. So, please stop by, read the bit, and leave a nice comment for "The Redheaded Stepchild" that maintains the blog. Let her know you loved the interview, and that - yes - I truly am that awesome.
Expect a new post soon. It'll probably involve shoes and/or injuries. The two might or might not be related.
And I might whine some more concerning the house I posted about yesterday, though I might have uncovered its fatal flaw. I do not see evidence of any other means of reaching the upstairs (writing lair, jacuzzi tub... you know, the important stuff) other than the spiral staircase.
(Killer Spiral Steps Of Death, shown at right mid-ground of photo. Beautiful, but oh-so-fatal. Probably. Darwin would think they were fun, though.)As you are well aware, I fall down regular stairs often enough, and I'm not even always under the influence when it happens. So when I have to resign myself to the gut-wrenching fact that we won't get that house, I shall console myself by saying, "Oh, well, I'd have broken my neck three days after we moved in, anyway. I know I said this is the last house we're ever buying, so this is the house I'm going to die in - possibly literally - but I don't plan for it to be in the first week."

I was surprised that you were even considering a 2 story house after reading some of your comments about your current split-level home. A spiral staircase sounds like an accident waiting to happen!
The problem with split levels is everything is a half-level away from anything else, at least. And NO entrance or exit is ground level. Impossible with dogs, as they age. Now, in a 2-story, theoretically I could not make as many trips upstairs (and not while drinking) (though I'd probably decide I HAD to have something that was up there). A ranch/rambler is our first choice, but would consider 2-story. Split levels, however are OUT.
