Tiniest house in America

Is this not the most charming tiny house? It's in old town Alexandria, Virginia and is 325 square feet. It's seven and a half feet wide.

I want to get in my car and drive there right now.

I don't want to write that talk.

My daughter gets to speak this Sunday, too. I am busy procrastinating preparing for my last final exam of the semester on Friday.

I'm curious how procrastinating took you to the tiniest house in America? I eat. You can feel like you have lots to do with a whole cake in front of you.

My daughter is giving her mission homecoming talk on Sunday. I love her to death, but her dad and I are both holding our breath. Sure hope it goes better than her farewell talk....

We had a couple who gave a talk together. Literally, they stood next to each other and took turns speaking into the mike. It was well choreographed and if I hadn't been stifling the giggles and peeing my pants, it might've been a great talk.

I think you and Tom should do that.
