They set a fire in the woods and watched the fucker burn

House stuff is moving along nicely. There were some jitters early on (What if it's not big enough? What if a missile hits it? What if we just decide we hate it? etc. etc. etc.) but I think those are mostly because I'm dropping all of my non-401K savings on down payment. It's scary, I guess, because it's like a money-reboot. I've been thinking a lot about how nice it will be that it's our house and we can do whatever we want with it (Erin is more excited about this, though, I think). We already have a kind of extensive list...

1) Gutters -- this house has no gutters. We would also like to install a rain barrel of some sort to collect the rain water and use for watering the yard/whatever.
2) Closets -- we want to install some sort of modular closet system. I think we're leaning toward elfa because, despite the cost, they have tons of reconfigurable things we could use if we wanted to "remodel" it.
3) Closet doors -- the closets have hinged doors that don't really fit in their tracks very well. Besides taking up floor space with door swing space, I think they just kind of look bad. We're going to put some IKEA Kvartal sliding panels up instead.

I have really slowed my running down (I still try to go once a week or so) just because I don't want to turn into a skeleton. I'm down to the low 150s in terms of weight and I'm afraid I might be a bit bony. I still stuff myself about once a week (or more) but my body has just turned into a furnace, I guess. I haven't been skating or swimming since my last post (got cold/rainy again). Erin is busy and Kerstan will be out of town this weekend, so I won't be doing much there this weekend either.
