Emily Post-It
Well, a sign has appeared next door, but it says “For Rent” rather than “For Sale”. If/when there are flyers in the little box, I’ll let you in on how much rent they’re asking for the former Casa di Yappers. Enquiring minds want to know.
I felt kind of bad about breaking up with my landlords on a Post-It, the way Berger dumped Carrie on “Sex and the City*”, but I doubt they’ll be equally upset. I wonder if there’s etiquette for this: “The renter should hand-write the letter on his or her best stationery, and be clear and concise. A Montblanc pen is an excellent choice. Personal delivery is not required, but can be a thoughtful touch.”
A couple of days after I sent off my informal missive (it was a nice Post-It, though), my sister called and said, “I guess I’d better tell Mark you’re taking the place.” I burst out laughing. I had already told my current landlords I was moving out, but had neglected the minor detail of telling the new ones I ‘m moving in. And when. Good thing I’ll have Megan around to be the token grown-up, even though I’m nine years older than she is.
It’s a funny thing: she’s the baby of the family, yet she holds it all together.
*The sequel to the movie has just started filming in New York! Yay!

Don’t feel bad about the landlord, looks to me like he did not do too much to keep you happy during your stay at least that’s what i got from some of your entries. Thank God for little sister as big sister could of lost a nice place to move to, the cats would have been upset.
Do I detect a yearning to move next door??????????
Let it go…….. and get on with your life… All your fans support you.

OMG, no!!! The house is almost exactly the same as the one I’m in now. And it’s $1700 a month!! I was being silly about the Post-It/SATC thing.
Also, Mark knows I’m moving up there by November 1, so there’s no changing my mind now.
