Today we are going to take a second look at a condo/townhouse that we liked. Its a former model house, so its got beautiful stuff inside; upgraded carpet, cabinents, etc. I really liked it a lot, so we are going back with a closer eye and my camera.

I feel like we’ve been going-going-going for the last few weeks because we’ve been out looking at houses many nights of the week and just in general busy. I know that when we do make an offer, then it’ll get all the more crazy because that means we have to start packing. That worries me a whole lot, because we have so much crap. Its gonna be a big job, no matter when we do it.

E and I identified how our decision style differs the other night at dinner - I’m anxious when searching that we wouldn’t want to let a potential house slip away; what if its the best thing we see? He’s anxious about making a decision; what if there’s a better one out there? Its definitely something that is identified by personality type (seen in MBTI tests as the Thinker/Feeler part of the type, I believe - I’m a T and he’s an F.)

In the next week, I need to turn into a master cake decorator. Leah’s birthday is Saturday, and it was a tradition when we were little that Grandma made us Panda Bear cakes. I have her pans (what I asked for after she died) and that includes the upright Panda Bear. But I’ve never used them yet. Everybody thinks Leah needs a Panda Bear cake for her first bday, so I’m gonna try and make one. I know that I’m not talented enough to make it covered with the star tip for fur, but I’m hoping that I can make it come out of the pan all in one piece!! Then I’ll probably use smoothed out frosting rather than the starry tip; I think it’ll still look Panda-bear-ish. It takes 6 1/2 cups of cake batter (1.5 box cakes, I think it said), so I’m not sure if I want to do a trial cake or not. I guess I’ll see how my week goes.

I’m sitting comfortably on the couch in the office with my laptop on a pillow on my lap. Whatever I did yesterday to make my back hurt so much must have been exciting, but I sure don’t remember doing anything that exciting Either way, its nice to sit over here and do some quick work and surfing instead of sitting up at my desk.
