Lookie-Loo...ing?

Kathy and I walked a bunch of model homes in our area this week. So fun! She was looking for guest room decor and bathroom remodel ideas. I was looking at microwave and oven installation options. It turned out, every home had a media room (after Jeff tried to tell me media rooms are soooo over- nice try, Hon'), so I took photos of all those as well. I was going to show you here, but I don't think people are allowed to post photos of model home interiors. Can someone check with Legal on that? Kthanks.

There really should be a term for checking out model homes when you aren't looking to buy. We always say right off the bat that we are just taking a look. I want to say something like, "We're just lookie-looing," but lookie-loo was never intended to be a verb.

Some builder reps just dump you at that point, which is fine, but some are really cool and if there aren't any other clients, they chat with you about the house, the neighborhood, and the ironically "oddly" wintery weather. I'm sending friends to them, when they want to buy a house.

pink

4) What is your blood-type?
O+

I initially read this as "what," not "who." I was about to say, "my iPhone," which would have read a little more kooky than it should have. I'll go with Bradley Cooper.

6) What is a rumor someone has spread about you?
that I'm a mathematics prodigy who took calculus in 7th grade

Text people about being stuck in the stupid elevator.

No real people- just Bradley Cooper and George Clooney, although I don't know if I'm allowed to split my celebrity pass.

I don't think I get this question. If I'm using it correctly, I know the meaning. I've used a few words that I eventually found out didn't mean what I thought they meant. (I know. It seems... inconceivable!) Years ago, I used to use the word "peruse" to mean I was randomly skimming through a written item, when it actually means to study it very carefully.

17) Do you like to sleep?
No, I don't want to miss anything.

For free? Sure. Otherwise, no thanks!
