Well, well, well...

I absolutely love the idea of a house in a box.  I'm not sure why? Some might dream of a custom built home, but for me the idea of something coming out of a box that is meant to fit together and goes together as easily as flat-pack furniture is as close to a dream come true as you might imagine.  I also prefer small, charming urban dwellings to giant suburban McMansions.. any day of the week.  When Anarqueso from the LJ posted these amazing kit homes I had a moment in my pants.
We have been discussing the idea of fixing up the condo and moving out to share a home with my folks.  It makes a lot of sense and I don't have a problem living with them.  They treat me like an adult and I can tell them to go to their room.  We have loads of time to think about it.  But part of me likes the idea that in about a decade we'd have this place paid off, could buy a property on the rain-shadow side of the mountains and put together a kit home that beautifully covers the essentials.  It's a nice thought.

One of my pics was picked to be in some guy's gallery.  I'm sure this happens to a lot of my photographer pals all the time, but it hasn't happened to me.  It also helped that it was one of my absolute favourite shots I've ever taken.  The composition was by no means perfect but it was a great moment with great light on a really great trip and it makes me happy again just to look at it.

Tonight I got home a bit early and started putting together a healthy dinner when Jackie called.  Her tire was flat.  I packed up the boy and we drove to Jackie's office so I could put the spare on.  Because of the hour we went to Burger Master drive in next door.  Jackie dumped my fries over onto the floor of her car.  LOL! Not an easy day for my darling.

Time for a scotch.
