“There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
–Hunter S. Thompson
I admit to being a weirdo, a mutant, in the words of Hunter S. Thompson. But mutants are on the rise, are they not? X-Men and superhero movies are all the rage, as are TV shows about geeks and zombies and people with special powers. Not sure if I fall into any of those categories. I am more a generalized weirdo with an abstract sense of humor that some don’t understand and others are offended by. So be it.
I’m writing this because (a) I don’t have much to say at the moment, (b) I only had 2 visitors today on my site (egad!), and (c) my husband and I are in the throes of selling our home (short sale) and have had 20 or so prospective buyers come to see the house so far. Somewhat nerve-wracking and self-absorbing, but a necessary and positive step forward in our lives.
We have done a lot of cleaning, sifting through our belongings and throwing things out, all in preparation for the “staging” of the house before our realtor’s photographer took pictures of the house pre-listing. After seeing a slideshow of the photos, my husband said, “The house never looked so good.”
We call our house “the huddle house,” because we feel cozy and safe in it, shielded from the troubles of the world. During one of our marathon car trips, we discovered a restaurant called Huddle House, and wondered if people go there to gather in safety or take a needed respite from the madness of The Outside. Seems like a good idea to me.
(google)
Alas, it is time to leave our Huddle House and begin a new chapter of our lives. I hope someone nice moves into our house. It’s a very, very, very fine house.

From one weirdo to another – all the best to you in this new chapter!

Hang in there, Erica. My major life changes thus far have been both blessing and burden. May yours be more the former.

The Huddle House made me think of the “Ideating” commercial from IBM:
Man #1: What you are guys doing?
Woman: We’re huddling.
Man #1: Huddiewhat?
Man #2: Huddling.
Man #1: What’s that?
and so on

Good luck with the house move and beginning a new chapter. I’m just emerging from a kitchen re-fit which was traumatic enough so there’s no way I’m going to move house in the near future. Most of the contents of the old kitchen cupboards are still in boxes (which I forgot to label) in the spare room. Remember to label your boxes! 🙂
