mmmmwelllllll. Actually not. Last Saturday I spent the day getting rid of the pile so I could surprise Brian with it all being gone. To have someone else haul it away was minimally about $200. And that was money I'd rather spend on yarn. Oh wait. I did. Some of it.

So, 3 trips to the dump (a RAV4 is considered a car!) = 36 bucks. A couple of paper yard waste bags = $5, and every yardwaste can in the neighborhood = priceless.

Then we had a 16 hour mini-break with Mardi and Dion and Guy and Odette in the mountains, and then it all slid back into this and that.

We finally got to see the tax guy today. He's funny. In a good way. Howie Choder in Seattle if you need someone. He's bailing us both out.

What else..... hmmm. Need more sleep.

OH! WAIT. Masie Plum Drinkwater and Mr Masie Plum Drinkwater bought a house *1 MILE* from us!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We tried to reel them into within a 3 block radius, but it didn't quite work. The added bonus is that the martini couch has now found a good home and will get a new skin, and begin to live the entertaining life it was designed for. I'm so excited about both of those things.
