No. No she's not. She was just born. Just like Baby Nom.

Just like Kinley!

*hugs for steph* I hope it all goes smoothly.

As frustrating as it has been buying our first house (we finally close this Friday!), I can't imagine having to deal with getting a buyer and seller at the same time.

I really, really hope this is my last move.

That's so weird, steph! The airline was saying they weren't sure they'd be able to get people back into Denver because of the expected snow, so they were making arrangements to possibly cancel flights. (They promised my flight was just being delayed and that there was little risk it would be totally...

I still haven't bought the bullet and used the whole "just take a picture of your check and we'll deposit it for you" feature I have. I keep meaning to, but it's just... different . What do you mean I don't have to drive to the bank ?! I've never heard of the "print a copy of the chec...

Syphon the Sun

You might feel differently if you were doing a lot of travelling and your local airport(s) freaked out and closed down during snow storms. (Also, I was just in southwest Florida, where it is sunny and beautiful. Coming home to this -- after many weather delays -- was not cool.) Also, I lied: 18.5 in...

Finally stopped today at 17 inches.

Ugh.

There are other rules that apply to all deposits over a certain dollar amount and separate rules that apply if the deposit is made in cash, regardless of whether or not you're getting a loan. But there are special rules in addition to those that apply to mortgage lenders within a certain number of d...

Syphon the Sun

Mortgage lenders are required to track withdrawals and deposits for loan applicants, supposedly to help the feds crack down on money laundering. Most of these rules only apply when the banks are lending money, so they don't have a reason to care the rest of the time. It makes sense for a lender to t...

I don't think anyone would have said anything to him over that transfer if it weren't for the fact that he's trying to close on a house. Nailed it. It's only because we're in the middle of closing. We've never had any issues with larger deposits or transfers in the past. I'm holding onto my expense...

Syphon the Sun

This is so normal Syphon it always blows me away how many times they "hold everything" to get one more bit of info found or cleared up, it's enough to make you cry or scream. Oh, I know. They were freaking out about me moving $5,000 from my savings account to my checking account so that I...

Syphon the Sun

Despite the fact that the bank assured us -- not once but three separate times -- that my changing jobs would not affect our closing date, our closing date has to be pushed back another 10 days. Why? Because I changed jobs. Seriously? This is why I asked you THREE FREAKING TIMES. Because if it was g...

Buckshot, I like to imagine this is how it goes when you meet your daughters' boyfriends:

Syphon the Sun

Don't let him befriend this robot!

Syphon the Sun

She said yes!!!!!!

Congratulations! Have you set a date?

Snowstorm In Chicago Delays Hundreds Of Morning Murders CHICAGO—The city of Chicago is steadily recovering from an overnight snowstorm that delayed hundreds of murders on Friday morning and will likely continue to push numerous homicides across the city drastically behind schedule, public authoriti...

If you have 11 kids, you can field an entire football team.

*sings* When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way, from your first cigarette to your last dying day!

Syphon the Sun

The good news is that she doesn't have any secondary infections. She's strong and she's showing her personality again, so we're hopeful we'll be home soon!

This is great news! Thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery are headed your way.

Ewoks movies

These were my favorite movies growing up. I still remember all the commercials, because Dad recorded the whole thing through when it originally aired on ABC. (Keep the hot hot! Keep the cool cool! McD.. LT!)

Syphon the Sun

So much snow!

My commute took 45 minutes, today. It usually takes 5.

Syphon the Sun

Speaking of houses: your moving day is coming soon, right? You're down to what, a week?

Syphon the Sun

For the record: I do not recommend working two full-time jobs in the middle of trying to close on a house. Or changing jobs in the middle of closing. So, so many headaches.

Syphon the Sun

I'm still working out the final details of my transition.

So I'm currently working both jobs at the moment.

Syphon the Sun

I want one. (It would go with my Chewbacca and and Yoda mugs.)

Syphon the Sun

Rationally, I know that it would be silly to get myself stuck in a job I know I'd hate, simply because I care what other people will think of me. Still, it's been on my mind a lot lately. At times like this, I always like to recommend Arthur Brooks' work on earned success and happiness. (Spoiler: m...

It's Austrian economics at work! Decisions to act are generally made in order to exchange a less satisfactory state of affairs for a more satisfactory one. Satisfaction is completely subjective, but that's a good thing. (After all, it lets us engage in mutually beneficial trade!) People typically ch...

Syphon the Sun

After days of saying I would start packing, I finally started packing.

(It sucks, if you were wondering.)

This is the worst! (We haven't even started, yet.)

Syphon the Sun

If it's not a matter of survival, bring in lots of other factors to help you decide. Agree with this 100 percent. It's not all about the Benjamins. (Or whatever crazy thing you have on your Canadian money.) How much do you value doing what you love? If you took this job, how much of an impact will ...

Syphon the Sun

The house appraised about 7% higher than our purchase price. Yay for "free" equity!

Syphon the Sun

Good luck!

Thanks! We spent last night negotiating with the seller and reached a deal around midnight. Closing toward the end of next month.

Syphon the Sun

House hunting... (Pre-approval from the bank was pretty painless. But actually finding a place we want to call home: not so much.)

We made an offer, today. Still sort of feels surreal.

Syphon the Sun

I've always thought that with less force trying to straighten out the fabric, and less air resisting its movement, it would wave more energetically on the moon!

That's exactly what happened when Mythbusters tested it in a vacuum.

Syphon the Sun

I only know because of so much Pokémon.

I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was...
