But enough about you

I was out of town 4/19 through 4/27 and it took longer to recover than usual because I got sick near the end of the trip - today was the first normal, productive day since before we left. I'm finally really back!

Some trivia:

I'm experimenting with tinted lotion to cover up my ghastly pallor. Results mixed so far - not as streaky and orange as I feared, but not completely unstreaky or unorange. Maybe I should have gotten something more expensive, but I thought I'd start at the low end and work my way up.

I saw a good friend from grad school today. She moved away about three years ago and I've really missed her. I wish she would move back, but things are going well for her on the east coast, so I guess we'll have to stick with occasional visits and emails. More local friends would be good - there's just no substitute for talking face to face.

I started a task today I'd been putting off for months. It wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. Now, as a reward to myself, I get to put together some of the LEGOs I got for 25% off at the math store. (The sale's still on, hurry in!) Because I'm that kind of LEGO freak.

Jon and I went to some open houses this weekend. We saw quite a range of houses, from amazing (but already sold) to soulless and cookie-cutter. I love this part of a house hunt - all dreams and fantasies. It's like trying on glamorous costumes and playing dress-up with your whole life.

First of May came and went - OFS has officially begun. ;)

Sit-ups good.

We need to hire a contractor to cut a door between two rooms that are not currently connected. So, not a huge job, but we'd like it to be done right and look good. Can anyone recommend someone?

Thanks in advance!

It turns out we got a hole in our roof during the big windstorm after all. The tree branch that put it there was plugging the hole for the last few weeks so there probably wasn't much rain leakage, but we'll have to go up in the attic and double check later on. At least we probably missed the rush on roof repairs...

So, can anyone recommend a roof repair service? Thanks in advance.
