The weekend, briefly

I was a busy bee on Saturday and ready to drop by the time the last mail pick up rolled around.

We decided against going out for Halloween and instead stayed in with friends and pretended to be in college again.

Sunday afternoon D and I indulged in one of our favorite activities - house stalking. It's pretty much what it sounds like, and it involves walking or driving around neighborhoods for some imaginary house shopping. It looks remarkably similar to burglar reconnaissance, so I tried to keep the photo taking to a minimum, to avoid completely freaking out various homeowners.

  8. Oh man, I don't know caps! Is it like quarters? We played some awesome flip cup at my book group last month. It was pretty hilarious.

  9. Never heard of 'caps' either. Is it a game? An evening with friends like in college sounds like a lot of fun. And house stalking is just great. We aren't looking for another house, but still love to look around :-)

  12. House stalking is a lot of fun. I'm also one of those people who finds it fascinating to look in the windows when riding by homes at night..wait, that sounds kind of creepy but it's not.

  13. perhaps house-stalking would be less threatening if you wore deerstalker hats while you did it? (full disclosure: i just want you guys to wear deerstalker hats as a general proposition.)

  14. I'm a house stalker, too! I usually just drive by now (with my boyfriend driving) and try to take really quick pictures so it doesn't look as suspicious. It scares the crap out of me, though, but I haven't been turned in yet!
