Pay dirt!!

I'm thrilled but it's still unofficial until word from the owner....but we found a house! I'm not sure if I mentioned that we had a house, then we didn't have a house and then we had a house but the lady fell out with her partner so she changed her mind about moving....all of this happened last week...on top of PMSing.

I have been a mess, to say the least. Straight from work on Friday, I went house hunting. I house hunted Saturday and this morning. Finally, Boo and I went to a house and it felt like mine. It even had cobalt blue tiles mixed in with the white tiles on the counter tops. It has french doors which I love and an office and a set up for an artist with adjustable lighting. I've never had an art studio and now, I will. The only drawback is the white carpet. I'm a spill magnet. I spill just thinking about spilling. I'm a bit nervous about that...especially with Baby Boo. I can just imagine the things she can do with some markers and paint.

But, I'm relieved...no, ecstatic!

I'm so bummed that you can't come to Vegas. You can bring Boo, you know...we can stick him at a blackjack table and go off on our own!!!!

@Buckeroo - I'm thrilled. I can already picture myself creating and cooking in the kitchen.

@Tami - yeah, give me a call. I'll be around this week.

@Justine - Should find out today if the house is ours and then the fun begins.

@Megryans mom - Thank you! It's going to be a relief today once we hear something.

@Julie - Boo works in a casino so going to them isn't the tops on his things to do. In fact, he doesn't like being in them at all. Although he loves watching sports so maybe I could convince him to sit in his shorts and watch sports while I'm out having fun.

Angel - Thank you for your prayers. It was a very stressful weekend filled with tears and more. But once we get word, then the packing begins (again).

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true.

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
