the thing about cold weather is that I can’t ever complain: it’s 10degF at my house today, but it’s *0degF* at my dad’s house right now.

insulated attic! it is AMAZING. so quiet and much warmer! almost makes up for the crummy low appraisal we received. http://flic.kr/p/8ZGi9a

RT @feministhulk “AMERICA” NOT NAME OF ANY COUNTRY. NOT EVEN NAME OF A CONTINENT, NAME OF TWO CONTINENTS. U.S.A. NOT HAVE MONOPOLY ON IT.

I love these feminists + explanation of rape culture: http://tinyurl.com/3y6savk (If it upsets you, pls thoughtfully read the whole thing.)

nice things about working from home: I can eat all the kimchi I want without smoking out my office with the delicious yet strong odor.

ooh, I am SO glad we’re getting insulation this week. 2 hrs after heat shuts off for the day and it’s already back down to 55 deg inside!

it’s hard getting out of bed when you know you have to carry about a zillion boxes out of the attic and down to the street first thing.

aaargh, there is rustling and creaking noises aplenty tonight in my sweet old house. I hope we don’t have mouses in our walls. #eek

worked a 12 hour day and it’s not even fully billable. #ahconsulting oh and also. so tired, but can’t seem to slow down enough to sleep!

I am so excited that the little dudes REALLY enjoying watching season 1 of The Cosby Show. it’s hilarious! Thank you, awesome library DVDs!

dear friends who live in NYC: it’s official, there is now 3G service up here! THEREFORE you will all probably want to move here by me, stat!

the attic is nearly cleared out and the roofer has his deposit. eeps! I’m so thrilled to soon have a clean dry and warm attic. and nervous.

finally and totally cleaning out the attic today. at extreme not wanting to. but we need to make room for insulation and installers so…

I can’t believe it’s taken me years to find this piece on mansplaining. I can’t recommend it enough. http://tinyurl.com/yed3ae9

oh, my dears: I caught a terrible cold on sat and it has positively inhibited my internetting. in other news, I’ve read 4 books since then.

sad yeast roll lesson: even the warm oven in a 62 deg house doesn’t make for warm yeast rising. sighs all around.

making yeast refrigerator rolls for 2nd thanksgiving tomorrow for the 1st time ever. I hate waiting for things to cool before next steps.
