Apache has taken up barking this week. I wonder if its a phase? She seems to go through a lot of phases.

My favorite line for today is "Dude, I'm from New Jersey." If you need a more detailed explanation of that, e-mail me. Its freekin' hilarious.

The second funniest thing that happened to me today was while driving to drop off Apache at Gavin and Jen's, I drive through a school zone, and there are cars lined up to drop off their kids at the elementary school. Passing me on my left are two GOLF CARTS (this community happens to be on a golf course) with a father and mother dropping their kids off at school in a golf cart. How cool a ride to school would that be?! (Not as cool as a motorcycle, I would expect..)

On the house-hunt arena, I am making a list of things I am looking for in a house. Probably won't get all of them, but some of them would be nice. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

3 bedrooms+ and 2.5+ baths

Fenced in backyard

Built-in bookshelves

Bay window

Ceiling fans

If one-story home, have second floor "bonus room"

Big kitchen with island

A study (or a dining room that can be converted into a study)

Hardwood floors

High ceilings

Covered or screened-in patio

Huge master bathroom with vanity and big tub

Near water and work
