Anni, dear, I do feel sorry for you. But your house is looking great now. In fact it even makes me a tiny bit jealous how great it looks because mine is still in disarray from my new 'mates.

They are wonderful, though, the new ones. For example, the other morning I was awakened at 7:30 because Mollie hadn't gone to bed yet and was making gazpacho with her loud food processer while listening to Bartley's cowbell with Meara. What is it about that damn cowbell? It's completely infectious. Normally I would be pissed off about being awakened so early after a late night, but I listened with sheer delight to their noisy and inconsiderate banter. My old roommates were much too polite for such behavior, and the change is refreshing.

Hey p. nis! I need more info.
