Dear So and So

[Owlie]

I would but DH is all like "we need to replace the 60 year old windows. We need new siding so the house and garage can finally match. blah. blah. blah."

We did get a quote for a 16 x 22' addition. New master bedroom. Nope. Room for the kids so they can have a space larger than a closetless shoe box. Nope. Its going to be a room just for the bikes. With a double-door entrance for plenty of roll-in room.

Thanks for the chuckle. DBF and I have joked that that's the sort of thing we'd do. A library space (with storage space for my yarn stash), and a room for bikes.

Dear advisor:
I know that at least some of this is out of your control, but can we get the ball rolling? Point me in the direction of things to read? I'm the student--I'm not supposed to know everything about this!
