lol, mere! i was trying to figure out what lois had found... at first i thought it was some old sentimental l&c souvenier, then the ficus, but then it seemed that she does know ck=sm (unless i misread that bit about "you can have your shower now"). you did keep me guessing. way to go.
love lois's defensive feng shui.
and as for the scene with the poor ficus...
brilliant.
looking forward to seeing the rest of this.
oh, and
sarah!
