I have determined that I need to start scheduling visits from friends and family. This is probably the best form of motivation for me to get my house in tip top shape.

So, if anyone would like to visit, realistically I can start accepting visitors the week before Thanksgiving. Let me know, and get your dates in now. I have a nice warm place and am expecting (and hoping) it becomes the new vacation spot for my crew

Need some enticing?

• I live in Tempe, which is home to ASU as well as a new light rail system.
• Tempe is close to Phoenix and Old Town Scottsdale (which has a Fashion Square that could compete with the East Coast).
• Botanical Gardens and the Zoo are open year round (and are comfortable) because of the gorgeous weather.
• There are plenty of parks where you can just stop and climb a mountain.
• I am within driving distance of a day trip to the Grand Canyon.
• Heated outdoor pool in the winter… mmmmmmm
• I have Rock Band 2
• and last but not least… ME!!!!
