It's Not Easy Bein' Green

All I can say is, for shame, Lady Gaga, for shame. Mrs. Piggy's gonna kick your Kermie covered bootie.

Things That Make Me Happy

The ocean
Fresh cut grass
The big blue sky and fluffy white clouds
Those pictures of service men and women being reunited with their families
Zilker Park
Kids selling lemonade
And this picture...

:-P

This may surprise some of you, those who know my true pencil pushing personality, but I hate paperwork. My true joy of summer is that I get about one blissful month off from doing piles and piles of paperwork. Ha! So I thought! James, my wonderful lender, told me on the phone yesterday that he would send me "just a few" pages I needed to sign. It wouldn't be much, because I'd already done all this back in May for another house, but there are a couple of minor changes. Okay, no problem. 50 pages later, and three pens, since they all seem to go dry at the same time, I remember, I hate paperwork. I'm beginning to think I hate house buying. What am I getting myself into?

Sweet Nuggets!

I got the counter offer on the house today. It is now at the top of my budget, but I'm still well within the "I can afford this" range. So, I guess I'm buying a house! The closing date is August 21st, so hopefully I can be in the house by the first week of school!

Keep Your Fingers Crossed!

I just put in an offer on a great little house! Hopefully this one works out. The third time's the charm, right? I'll keep you posted.

Surprise!

My sometimes sweet little brother, along with his always darling wife, just announced a sweet surprise. It was the one we've all been waiting for - they're preggers! Congrats to Jacob and Phila! Nine months is a very long time for me to wait, but rest assured that will be one spoiled baby!

Why not a blog?

I've decided, as all of my other friends already have, to give this blogging thing a try. As things tend to go, by the ripe old age of 31, most of my friends are no longer in one concise and neat group. There are the high school friends, my lovely ladies from my previously led life, and a pretty nifty set of gals from work. There are also the few who have scattered to the winds, making getting together on a regular basis a bit difficult. So I shall blog as my new way of keeping up. Oh, and the next time anyone is in Lockhart, give me a call!
