28
We signed the papers today, we're damn near homeowners. Friday's the big day, and you know what they say: "When god takes a kitty's eyeball, he gives you a house and a mortgage." We're in the midst of a Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashanah (the New Year), and Max and I will celebrate by furniture shopping. Which is really the only thing we've been doing for the last 2 weeks. But holy crap, have we found some amazing stuff. It's OK to furnish an English cottage in mid century modern, right?
Speaking of disgusting things you don't really need to read about, we were at IKEA over the weekend, and Samson got fussy. No, really. I'm not joking. So I did my normal thing where I give him every thing from my purse, his diaper bag, etc, to keep him occupied. And when he ran out of things to open, close and chew on, I gave him one of the paper IKEA tape measures. And the next day I found the number 28 in his diaper. Seriously. I'm sure I'll find weirder things in his diapers in the future, but that was awesome. It was all I could do to stop myself from taking a picture.

Some big things and other things bigger still
I've been on hold with the IRS for 37 minutes now. I'm holding on to the hope that the conversation will end with me getting money, not owing money. Does that ever happen?
Thankfully, Samson is napping. I couldn't do this with an unruly 10 month old tearing around the living room and squawking as he is wont to do. He's actually been napping a lot lately, and I'm guessing that's related to this new tooth that finally emerged yesterday (number three for those who are keeping track, top right). He's probably got another two or three in the works, I'll keep monitoring the situation.
Never one to be good at keeping secrets, I have some exciting news. We finally found a great house that works for us, and we done went and bought it. I didn't want to say anything until we actually had the keys, but I can't wait that long, it's all too fanciful and exciting! We close in early October, just in time for a kick ass first birthday party for Sam in our new backyard.
