[nodnod] We never got back there for more :( but we'll most likely be staying in the same area for a month or two in temporary housing, so we can go back then. Mmmm!<br /><br />And yeah, the cold was pretty horrifying. [shiver] We're back home now and although I still get cold when it's 68 in the computer room, it's definitely a different magnitude of cold. The heater has to be one of the greatest inventions ever, LOL!<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-86918433038950841542009-12-13T22:22:41.040-08:002009-12-13T22:22:41.040-08:00Those espresso brownies DO sound yummy!

Probably spend the day sitting next to a heater! LOL Good luck with the house hunt, though. I have only dreamed of visiting Seattle and I'm glad you're still having a grand time despite the freeze.Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-69867283742741453222009-12-09T19:39:49.116-08:002009-12-09T19:39:49.116-08:00Bernita -- yes, we seem to have a very good agent,...Bernita -- yes, we seem to have a very good agent, which is always excellent in these situations. Last time we moved, our first agent was blatantly incompetent, so we definitely can tell the difference.<br /><br />WW -- right, humidity definitely makes things worse, both heat and cold. [nod]<br /><br />Charles -- I'm not overly fond of cold, so we'll see. I'm assured by many people that this is very unusual, so future winters shouldn't be this bad. [crossed fingers]<br /><br />MDurango -- right, that's what everyone's saying. :) We'll see how it goes; hopefully this'll be the Seattle area's quota of ridiculously cold weather for a while.<br /><br />Thanks all! :D<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-43109737448635263892009-12-09T10:04:43.363-08:002009-12-09T10:04:43.363-08:00Welcome to the Pacific Northwest!

One of the reasons that Maine winters make me hurt less than winter in Tacoma, Washington! Even at -30 it feels less cold.writtenwyrddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280711822302493122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-12944692627019154302009-12-09T04:17:06.422-08:002009-12-09T04:17:06.422-08:00Like any adventure, both exciting and irritating. ...Like any adventure, both exciting and irritating.

O_O<br /><br />We've been having major loads of groceries delivered for quite a few years now, and we order a lot of other things from online. Having a grocery store clerk pick your produce isn't usually a good idea in my experience, though, and if you just need some milk or some bread or whatever, you don't want to have to do an order; having something nearby is necessary, but it doesn't have to be huge or perfect.<br /><br />Jim's been poking around online and it seems that the commute from the house we liked won't be bad at all.

I forgot.<br /><br />I would love to live within walking distance of a market, in a place where there's a good bus system. Where I lived, it was impossible to live without a car. I tried to just use my bike for awhile, but I was too out of shape to make it work.Spy Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299551957327543491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-38802364561158330252009-12-08T17:43:36.792-08:002009-12-08T17:43:36.792-08:00Cakespy -- oh, man, I don't remember the name ...Cakespy -- oh, man, I don't remember the name of the place. :/ If you're ever here, there's a short street that runs right up to the main entrance of the market, facing where the big bronze pig is. Stand on the street (it's a right-angle bend, IIRC) and look to the right, down that arm of the street there, and on the right-hand side of that street, walk down just a bit, keeping an eye out to the shops and such on the right hand side. The bakery has a display window on the sidewalk, then you walk right around a corner of their shop (there's one of those open-access shopping center-places there) and there's a window where you order. Definitely worth finding. :D<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-5813439446635522462009-12-08T16:26:42.647-08:002009-12-08T16:26:42.647-08:00Where were the brownies from? :-)Where were the brownies from? :-)Cakespyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540351035366591645noreply@blogger.com
