I’ve been working on a post about our new house, thinking that this woefully neglected blog would be a great place to chronicle the adventure of home ownership. Granted, it’s not a very original idea. The ubiquitous “Our House” blog is something I want to avoid yet can’t resist. And so, gentle readers, I shall attempt to share with you some of the highlights of our adventures so far. Until I finish writing the story of how we came to own “The Ugliest House on the Block” (entry by that name coming soon) I leave you with this nugget about Tyler and I’s adventure outing to Sears Outlet: San Leandro.

Went to the Sears Outlet in San Leandro late last night to pick up a pedestal for the dryer. It was… I don’t know how best to describe it. Imagine, if you will, the warehouse from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom after having been hit by a hurricane and then thoroughly looted. Said warehouse is staffed by functionally retarded versions of Redman and Method man and the boss of them all is Kathy Geiss (Don Geiss’ daughter on 30 Rock: Read crazy cat lady) who’s happy to tell us all about her diet (while gobbling M&M’s) but can’t seem to find any record of our order. This is all set to the concert video of Celine Dion which is being played at top volume on the three working TV sets. My favorite part is the hand made sign that graces the bathroom door which says “In It To Win It”. On the upside, the crew has gone 23 days with out an accident! Oh, and we eventually got our pedestal, hope it fits!

Fittingly, It’s All Coming Back To Me: Still stuck in my head
