DH is getting sick of Kacey Musgraves.

But the neighbors aren't.

BECAUSE I'M IN A HOUSE, *****!

I think we might be in Macgregor if we go to the Pikes Peak place


Yeah, it's right off the main drag. Neat little place, too. IIRC, and it's been over 5 years...most of their beers are lagers, which are cold fermented, which is unusual for a brewpub. But that would have been before the backpocket deal, so they might have changed quite a bit with what they have on tap.

should I mention or not mention that we drive by it every time we go home?



it's like one of those things we plan on stopping at at some point because it's so close but just haven't


Well, when you put it that way, I kind of understand...like I wasn't actually to the field of dreams until well into college, even though that was filmed when I was in 6th-8th grade...somewhere in there, and I've never actually been out of the vehicle there. Just drove thru the parking lot because people I was travelling with insisted on 'seeing it'...to me, it was 'a baseball field in the middle of the so-and-so's farm and now they're trying to make money off of it'.

to be fair to myself, I can't imagine it's open most of the times we drive by. well, maybe, but we're focused on going home or getting to our parents

........you've changed since you moved into that house.


I'm too good for you now and your lowly apartment existence

speaking of, our apt sent a thing today wanting to know why we moved. Since we got our (most of it) deposit back, I'm like you are charging more for stupid **** like new closet knobs when we really needed real heat and a/c. You can't be all "we are still competiively priced with local apartments" when local apartments are 15 years newer, probably have real heat, a pool, gym, community center, and non-schnasty kitchen linoleum. You can't pretend the other local (nice!) apartments are your contemporaries. You're a Kia trying to argue that you're priced competitively to an Audi.
