Library events and more

Let's start with the "more"...seems like ages since I've written.  Life's been busy.  Attempts to find a new house have been going full steam, we've visited about 15 now, and found at least three that we wouldn't object to living in.  But now, we've retreated - the cold hard truth is that we can't do anything in terms of buying until we're selling.  Can't do it without the big equity cashout.  So, the plan is to spruce up around here and try to get it listed at the beginning of April.  Wanna buy a house?  This whole process is already a bit overwhelming and the stress of trying to put our house in order to sell, juggle the process of showing, selling, searching, buying, packing, moving, all while pregnant (oh yeah, we found our our OB is moving away so we had to pick a new one...) and carrying on our usual whirlwind life....I thought I vowed never to move again.  I would have been perfectly content to grow old and die on Novelly Drive.  Oh yeah, kids.  Oh well.

Also, if you need a realtor, Jack is a good friend and good guy who won't do you wrong.  We're also on good terms with our loan officer.  Let me know if you need his name.

Besides my lack of blogging lately, I was also prompted to post by new photos, taken this morning.  Our dear little princess is just too adorable wrapped in a towel after her bath, and it was too hard to pick just one, so I posted the whole series in the gallery.  Enjoy!  Just a couple others besides that, a lipstick shot and a one from our recent park day on her bike (yet another fabulous garage sale find by Morgan - five bucks!).

So, back to the aforementioned library events.  Just two, but worthy of mention...our annual NCAA basketball tournament pool is underway so get in touch asap if you're in, and possibly of a bit broader appeal, there's a library booksale coming up soon, so if you're here in Reno and need books, get ready.

In other news, we got a few minor repairs done to the Vanagon.  I'll take a moment to plug that shop too - a good, honest mechanic is a pretty good thing to have, so if you need any VW work, J's Vans is worth recommendation.  Took a quick dip into the Linux pool last week with Turi...kinda scary, kinda exciting.  He went full bore, formatted his drive and went for full install of Ubuntu.  I just took a few versions for a test drive and quietly backed away.  Maybe later.

Getting late so I'll leave you laughing...a couple jokes I had lingering in my email that I enjoyed.  One risque and funny, one just funny.  OK, now I'm done.
