In the past few weeks:

1. We made an offer on another house that was actually accepted, although I got kind of discouraged by the end of negotiations.

2. Fortunately, before we heard whether or not the offer was accepted, I got word that Ideomancer wanted my little flash story, and so I was immediately in a better mood. The story, All the Gold is Grass, is currently in Ideomancer's June issue on the website at ideomancer.com.

3. (No, I have not yet figured out how to link from inside a journal entry. Mostly because I haven't had the time to find out!)

4. My mom came up for a few days, which was nice. Then Ethan and I got a cold, which we are both almost over.

5. It finally got warm. Everyone here thinks it's too hot. But to us, low 80's with low humidity and a breeze in June (!) is wonderful.

6. We had a thunderstorm today (finally!), which pulled down a big oak across the neighbor's yard. I hadn't thought the wind was that bad, but I guess it was.

7. Of course, it took long enough to get warm. What was with that May Nor'Easter????

8. Both twins are reported to be boys. This poses a problem, because we are out of boy names. At least we have a few months...
