Though after visiting
I need a carpet steamer. Really. (And if you're asking "God, who needs her very own carpet steamer?" I will answer you with "Any neurotic twentysomething who has just adopted a non-house-trained dog." Especially when that neurotic twentysomething has left the dog with her not neurotic sister for a week, and the not neurotic sister just called and said, "ehm, don't ask why, but you need to get a carpet steamer.")
If only I didn't need food and shelter I could have both!
(My vacation is awesome. I'm in love with the lack of responsibility. I must cook up some plans to become independently wealthy and/or be paid room and board for knitting, writing, and traveling to see friends and family.)
