I'm a Jersey girl without the big hair or the accent (well, most of the time anyway), but with all of the bad driving and the penchant for weekly manicures.
Oh, and I'm an interior design student. That's how all of the weird terminology comes into play.

Cricket
CRICKET - A small peaked saddle built behind the chimney or over an entry. Its purpose is to divert water to either side. (from the Creative Homeowner Glossary)

This week I have had an open house, a realtor meeting, some amazingly mind-blowing offers, some paperwork, some more paperwork to sign in triplicate, and an attorney review.

Meanwhile on Difficult by Design, an audio toggle of crickets chirping prepared to install itself in a manner inspired by JOSHUA from WarGames.


Cute little buggers, ain't they?
(Note to Wading readers: Not to worry, this is all of the bug stuff you're gonna see here. I'll leave the "Mansquito" content to the experts.)

This week, I went to a sewing class, had a drawing class cancelled, went to three kickboxing classes, and received my receipt for my grad school deposit in the mail.

Meanwhile on Difficult by Design, that same nasty program was itching to install a pop-up with a tumbleweed rolling across my blog skin.

Okay, so check out these lyrics for "Tumbling Tumbleweeds". Anybody have any idea how they "[pledge] their love to the ground"?

After all, that's what happens when you neglect your blog. At least that's what my parents told me. Then again I'm still explaning to them on a somewhat regular basis what a blog actually is so I heed their warnings with a grain of salt. But I digress.

This week, I learned that mortgage rates are going up, that I have very good timing indeed as far as this particular real estate transaction is concerned, and that pancetta makes a yummy (and healthier) substitute for bacon in spaghetti carbonara.

Meanwhile, on Difficult by Design, my blogroll had emitted a collective eyeroll due to my lack of posting.

Erm... that's not quite the type of eyeroll I had in mind. In other news, my boyfriend is excessively pleased with me right now for featuring The Undertaker on my blog.

The Undertaker should best go home, as this blog is not dead. However, I will admit that I have tricked a lot of people into thinking it is. My apologies for the deception.

Have a lovely holiday weekend.

Believe me, I can totally relate. My blogging has be sporadic, at best. Of all of the things on my "to do" list, blogging has been bumped down to the end priority-wise. I think it just ebbs and flows :)
