Thanks, Mudpie - that was exactly what I was hoping for, gorgeous clothes. The whole collection is amazing, would die for the lace trimmed dress in black. I have an odd body shape for BR (short waisted, hippy) but would love to try that on, would totally rock for work!
Hey Bargoo - yes, we had a roller coaster 2 year house hunt. From crazy sellers reneging on deals to Jason getting laid off 1 month before we closed on a dream house we were building. But, we finally found an awesome house. We are still in San Diego (slightly north in San Marcos) and our new house is ALMOST as good as the house we were building. Of course, we didn't get to pick every little thing to our taste (the kitchen cabinets are a color I wouldn't have picked, for example) - but it's closer to work, cooler (on the west side, closer to the ocean) and was a lot less money. AND we have a gorgeous, fully landscaped back yard, the other house would have been practically bare dirt for a long time.
Since we waited a year (Jason was eventually hired back at the company that laid him off - they realized they needed him desperately) we got a better interest rate and house prices were still falling, so I think we got a great deal.
Pictures (from the listing, that isn't our furniture - we're going to have empty rooms for YEARS - we moved from a tiny condo!)
