Libertad- Thanks so much for thinking of us for the first time homeowner credit. We are definately going to get the credit- because we do qualify... and then we can put some of that money into sweet renovations!
Tinypliny- Thanks (again) for the welcome to the big K. I'll have to tell you what happend with all this, when I see you next...
tinypliny - 02/03/09 16:46
Welcome to the big K! :D

I thought you and (e:dcoffee) would be interested in this if you didn't know about it already. I found it on yahoo news. It seems like a good thing if you have some kind of emergency home repair or something.


"First-Time Homeowner Credit

For those who bought a home last year or want to in the months ahead, Uncle Sam has a little present for you. This tax credit, essentially a temporary, no-interest loan, is being offered to those who bought -- or will buy -- a home between April 9, 2008, and June 30, 2009, and who didn't own a home during the three years preceding the purchase.

The maximum amount of the credit equals either 10% of the home's price or $7,500 ($3,750 if you are married, but filing separately), whichever is less. One hitch: Homeowners will have to repay the credit over 15 years by either owing more in taxes or receiving a smaller refund. So, if you claim the credit on your 2008 tax return, you’ll have to start repaying it when you file your taxes for 2010."

Halloween Party!
(e:dcoffee) and I had a great time last night! The house looked fabulous, as usual. You guys know how to throw a good party! The time flew by too... On the way home, the car said it was 3:40am. We got some good pictures, but we havent downloaded them off the camera yet. Maybe (e:dcoffee) can.
When we move into our New HOME, we are definitely going to have a house warming party, and You are all invited of course!

metalpeter - 11/01/08 16:52
Glad you two both had a good time, can't wait to see the pictures.
mmtornow - 11/01/08 14:34
I know, It has been a whole Year since I posted last.
We'll definitely let everyone know once we're in our house!
libertad - 11/01/08 13:05
Wow this is your first journal in a year because your last post was about Halloween too.
paul - 11/01/08 12:10
Thanks for coming out, glad you had a good time. Keep us posted about your house warming.
tinypliny - 11/01/08 10:36
It was an amazing party! I loved it. It was wonderful to see you both! For a while there, with all the posts, I admit you two seemed pretty unreal, and I was delighted to find that you totally are! Unreally perfect! :D

Halloween
I'm excited about the halloween party tonight! (e:dcoffee) and I will be there... probably around 9. I love getting dressed up, and this holiday is so fun.
I will just say that my costume is all about the duct tape. :-) ...Wait and see...
We'll see all you (e:peeps) tonight.
mmtornow - 10/28/07 20:50
Yea, it was a fun party. Nice decorations around the house too.

I did make duct tape shoes, but didn't end up wearing them because it was pretty cold out. I wore my tall black boots instead.

Good seeing everyone at the party!
tinypliny - 10/28/07 20:40
Oh, and I missed the shoes!! Were the shoes covered in duct tape too? That would have completed the Ducttape Cinderella!
tinypliny - 10/28/07 20:39
Really creative dress!! For a moment there, I had this vision of you standing in a dressmaker's parlor and being ducttaped (in a dressmaker way, and not in a I-am-going-to-kidnap-you-shut-the-hell-up way) by your friend. :)
paul - 10/28/07 11:59
Ya, your dress was awesome. Thanks for coming out.
metalpeter - 10/28/07 10:41
I just wanted to say that was a cool dress it really was. I will try to get pictures up soon but I have a delay because I don't want to download them on the family computer so I have to get them on disk first.

My Revolution passed away
Category: bad news
I woke up yesterday morning to a really terrible surprise.

My and (e:dcoffee) 's young energetic 1 1/2 year old cat "Revolution" had passed away during the night on Tuesday. This was completely unexpected- she was our healthy young cat. I still have no idea what happend.

It is such a shock, and I still am wondering where Revolution is, when I am home.

She was one of a kind... we called her our little puppy, because she loved to play fetch, and she loved to go outside, and would stand by the back door and meow to go outside, even if it was 10 degrees and snowing out!

She was so small, and all white, with two beautiful different colored eyes. She had such an expressive cute face. She always looked so busy thinking about things.

image
So beautiful...
image
Revolution and Dar napping in the sun...
image
Revolution LOVED her daddy (e:dcoffee)
image
So expressive. What's she thinkin about?
image
And she loved that black fuzzy pillow!
image
Oh look! what a cute present!
image
Our girls. Revolution loved to play.
image
And of course, she was an activist, a Revolution.

I will miss her soooo much

museumchick - 03/09/07 16:05
I'm very sorry for your loss. She was such a beautiful cat.
leetee - 03/09/07 09:35
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Please, accept my symapthies...
theecarey - 03/08/07 22:31
Beautiful sprite kitty, Miss Revolution.Those pictures are a treasure. My sympathy to the three of you..
jenks - 03/08/07 22:26
Aww. I'm so sorry. I know the feeling, my dog just died too. :( It sucks, no way about it. Hopefully time will soften the loss.
matthew - 03/08/07 21:22
Please accept my most sincere condolences on your loss.

Need a place to get my haircut...
So, I'm calling out for some suggestions here...

I've lived in Buffalo for 1 1/2 years now, and I haven't found a good place to get my hair cut. I've had 3 total haircuts:

1st one at UB North campus in the campus center thing, just because I needed a haircut, and I had some time between classes... Never lived up there, actually hate the place... but whatever.

2nd and 3rd haircuts- I went to "Now Salon" near Allen and Elmwood, and although I'm not against this place, I just don't feel comfortable- it's so trendy and too upscale for me, and I can't even have a conversation with this girl that cuts my hair. Also women's haircuts start at $25 or $30.
Now maybe I'm just cheap, but where I'm from in the county, haircuts cost $12.

Does anyone know of a place around Buffalo that you can get a normal haircut- no frills- that is like $20 or under?

Thanks! :-)
tinypliny - 04/08/07 03:50
Are there any Fantastic Sam's in Buffalo? I have found that they usually have unusually skilled people. Here in Rochester, a haircut from them costs about $13 or $14 with a >20% tip.
museumchick - 02/08/07 10:29
I think Wal-Mart and Supercuts are about $15. I'm not sure how good the cuts are, though.
lilho - 02/07/07 22:32
i have been known to do a haircut or two...send an email my way...
