A certain friend of ours--we'll call him Mr Smith (name accurate to reflect the guilty)--is looking for roommates to move into his house. We can vouch that he's a good guy, and the house is a nice house, and the neighborhood is a decent neighborhood. Let us know if you want more info.
Here's his dealio:
So... I'm renting out my house. Anyone need a place to live? I've got 2 bedrooms upstairs that are big and have walk-in closets. Nice bathroom upstairs as well. Main floor has living, dining, sun room and kitchen. I'll be in the basement, trying to fix it up and make it a bit more segregated from the laundry room.
Also, there's a 2 car garage out back. I have my boat in the 3rd outdoor spot, so your choices are to park in the garage or on the street out front. Rent will be $400/mo and if you want my spot in the garage it's $25/mo additional. We split gas, electric and water between the 3 (hopefully) of us.
Gas = $30(summer)-$160(winter)
Elec = $45-50 year round
Water = $40-50
June or July move in times, but if you want to move stuff in before then, that can be arranged.

Insert tired cliche song lyrics here
It is officially lawn care season. I know this because when I was trying to rake the boulevard and mulch it into my raspberry patch, it started to rain on me. It stopped raining sometime last night. Which was awesome for the grass seed that Adam has been putting down in the backyard, but not so great for my plans. It's a conspiracy.
Right now our yard looks like something out of a horror movie. Dead grass here, trampled flowers there, fence around flowers falling over, patches of bare dirt. It's really rather uninspiring. I don't need (or even want) my yard to look like it just stepped out of Home & Garden Magazine. Those yards are like Michael Jackson's face: unnatural. I just want my yard to not be the ugliest one on the block. I don't think it's too much to ask.
We've been talking about a lot of projects lately, like expanding our patio, or putting in a deck, or planting new trees, or putting in a different clothesline. But we've decided that we need to develop an overall picture of how we'd like our lawn to be. I don't want to lose the space to play yard games, but Adam's really interested in having more shade on the lawn and the house. I want the dog to be able to run around in the yard, but I also want some untrampled flowers. So we'll have to figure out what we really want, and then maybe we can do a couple of things toward that this year.
You know, once it stops raining on me.

Pacifying Adia
Adia says we should post to our blog more often. So, now you know what it takes to get us to update this: whining and nagging.
We're sick of winter. We have the new bicycle jogger to try out with Arrow, so we can all get more exercise. I have coffee grounds and tea bags to mulch into the raspberry patch. We are going to try to rehabilitate the lawn, and maybe plant some trees. We have our new outdoor fireplace to try out. It's time to stop having forecasts like this.
I'm in rehearsals for In the Basement's Burning Bright, which will perform through May. Adam is still enjoying the new job, and has been working on lots of electronics projects. So, now you can all bother him about an update.
