We signed our purchase agreement for our house!
Well, conditional upon financing, lawyer review, and a home inspection once the place is built, of course.
But still!!!
We’re on our way to owning a house! Yaaaaaaay! ^_^
House House House House House House House House House House!

If anyone out there is going to be a cyborg for Hallowe’en (like me) or a robot or something, I urge you to look into making some LED Throwies.
The quick synopsis: Take an LED and a 3V lithium battery. Slide the LED prongs over the battery with the long prong touching the positive side of the battery. Tape in place (I’m using electrical tape instead of the clear tape they use, because I’m sticking mine near fabric and skin, not tossing them around outside). Instant lit LED! No wires or soldering skill required. Awesome. ^_^
Then you can just put them onto your costume, and there’s no wires running all over you. I just left out the magnets, as I didn’t need them to be magnetic since I’m attaching them to my costume.
Mine ended up being a bit more expensive than the ones on the Intarwebz, even though I skipped the magnets (that would have made them even more expensive) because the only LEDs I could get my hands on were 20/$5, but they’re still cheap. I went to RaioShack. Don’t go there for the batteries though; they were about $4 each. Head on down to your local Dollar store, where I picked up mine at 3/$1. You don’t need fancy ones, all they need to do is power a single LED, not a digital camera. ^_~
