I'm a Loser

This probably hasn't happened to many of you but I'll ask anyway. Have you ever come home from work and realized that your shirt was on inside out the entire day and no one mentioned it and you didn't even notice? Well this very thing happened to me, I'm hoping the reason no one said anything was because they didn't notice. Fat chance. Unfortunately, my early warning device... my husband... was out of town, aaaargh .

A true friend tells people things like that. I have sworn to tell people about boogers, crumbs and nasty stuff on their face. Unzipped zipper are included as well. It is a little embarrassing to have people point out stuff like that. But I'd rather have someone point it out quickly and discretely.

Which reminds me that my mom would always say "It is snowing down South." if a womans slip was showing.

I am glad you are back! I need all the old house support I can get. I always wonder what is going to happen to Durham, up or down. It scared us over to Raleigh (we have no guts, I guess). We have a few renters in the 5 points area as well, the houses being transformed are the 'old lady houses' that sell, no rentals yet. Anyway, I was wondering about your Nigella reference to Haloumi (I have that book)- can you get that at Whole Foods?
Thanks,
Carol
PS: how are your dogs doing?

Durham really seems to be on an upswing although it certainly gets a lot of bad press. Lots of new development downtown and in our area as well. Raleigh is awesome, lots better shopping and restaurants for sure!! I work in Durham and we're really into urban renewal so it works for us. As far as the haloumi, I have purchased it at Whole Foods once. I looked again just yesterday and they didn't have it. They do have it at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro. I've also ordered it bulk online but we're out. We're getting desperate, it's totally a staple for us. Check your Whole Foods, they may have it, or if you ask maybe they'll get it. Let me know what you think of it. The dogs are awesome. How is your renovation going, what are you guys working on right now?

Em: I am like that- the grass is always greener in the place we were looking but rejected when we bought this house. Oakwood, old North Durham... We are a few blocks from Glenwood South which gets better all the time. In fact, everywhere in the Triangle keeps getting better (even Chapel Hill, with its huge population of kid people and their amenities).

As for the house, there is work on the new garage (insulating, making workshop shelves, wiring) which gets classified as 'construction' and the old house (trying out rot-proof basement windows, restoring pine and oak staircase) which is slow, painful restoration. Had some floors done. And yard work, a continuous replacement of biomass.

Looking forward to your contiued stories. If our dog is up to travel, we are going to the quiet place at milepost whatever in October!
