I just did a quick calculation. Even though we moved further from my office, I am saving about 20 minutes per week in transit time from being on a better bus route. That amounts to 80 hours saved each year. I cannot complain!

Time is Time
Fortress of Playitude
After assembling Anne’s new bed I had two rather large boxes. Hmm, what to do with two large boxes. A fortress of course! But that took only one box. A tunnel with portcullis! Still 1/2 a box left… Ok, knee padding in the tunnel.
- one princess bed for $20 (original price $250)
- extra boxes $0
- one set of MrMcGroovy’s rivets $30
- no cuts from the boxcutter $major medical bill
- two ecstatic kids, priceless
New Home
Well, everything went pretty smoothly. We moved in a couple weeks ago to our new townhouse. 2 weeks ago we painted the kids rooms and let them air out. Anne’s is now a very pretty light purple color. Drew’s is a good solid blue. They both are very excited about having their own rooms. We also managed to get the tail end of the Pier-1 Kids closing sales and got some head/foot boards for the kids at over 90% off. Total score. Hopefully I’ll be able to put them together in the next couple weeks. Camille also convinced me to go to Ikea. Neither of us had ever been and, man, what a place. They certainly do not make it easy to exit! Thankfully they have a child care place so the kids were not utterly bored. It reminded us of the home store version of Wegmans.
