" Wavybrains and Freak proudly announce the newest addition to our household: Roommate #2, hence force known as Zen. Zen has returned from a nine month sojourn in China and will be joining Scientist in project pay-off Wavybrains' and Freak's mortgage. Non-grandparents are not impressed."
This explains my lack of posting in the last few days, as I've been cleaning like a mad banshee. With each new addition to the household, I like to start on a positive, CLEAN note, as if we always live orderly lives and dishes always go in the sink. I like to think that this encourages good behavior, not to mention makes the place more welcoming.
Of course, Zen is returning with no furniture, and a bed would have probably been a tad more welcoming than clean carpet, but what can I say? I had the nesting instinct. I cleaned and fluffed, buffed and waxed, and that's just the living room. Freak even got in on the act, using the weed-eater which last saw action sometime around the 4th . . . of July.
We're excited because this moves us closer to the communal household of our dreams. Of course, in MY dreams, there is MORE THAN ONE BATHROOM. Clanna can't understand how I could even consider living with four adults and one bathroom. Perhaps it has something to do with having grown up with FIVE people and one bathroom. Or having been to countless conventions, dorms, and conferences where I've had to wait on a bathroom.
We do plan to add a second bathroom, because while I CAN wait, I'm just a bit crabby doing so. But, in his six months with us, Zen will tackling numerous remodeling projects. Just as soon as we find the poor guy a bed.
I have no idea how I found your site, but I've been reading it for quite a while. I just had to finally leave a note to let you know how much I enjoy it and that I will continue to keep track of your very entertaining life. Good luck with the bed and I hope you get all of the bathrooms you want!

Really, you still want your own commune? interesting.
Well we're almost too ideally suited for a commune with 2&1/2 bathrooms and too many bedrooms that we're having to do something useless with one of them like convert it into a library... pffft!
Guess we just need to find the right poly fits for our commune. That's the tuff part.
