Ok, I said I wouldn’t do it, but I’m really bad at anything involving self-control.
Especially when it’s something good!
So, here’s my big news!! DA-Da-DA!!
I’m pregnant!!!!
Kidding. Total lie. NOT pregnant. Not even close to pregnant. As far from pregnant as you can humanly be without being a man. NO babies.
The bank finally agreed on our house offer. We don’t have a contract yet, but they’re going to put one together and if all goes well….the planets align…ducks stay in a row…the proper amount of virgins are sacrificed…we’ll be getting a house.
Now, last time I did this, I got all WHEEEE! And I got you all whipped up into a great big frenzy of WHEEEE right along with me.
And then.
The house fell through.
THEN?
I ate enough Girl Scout baked goods to send at least four of those little cookie-pushers to camp.
In ITALY.
And I swore that the next house would be a 100% secret until the day we moved in.
REALLY? Have you met me? PFFFFt.
So, we have an accepted offer…because it’s a foreclosure house we have to get EVERYTHING done in 10 days: inspection, financing, appraisal…everything.
Holy crap. I’m a little light-headed just thinking about it.
But here is what I said I wouldn’t do…pictures of teh house! Soon-to-be MY house.
*these are just a few of my favorites, so YES there are some cute little bedrooms for the girls…two of them in fact…but they’re pretty boring right now, so just imagine square rooms with closets and windows…and there ya go…and as you can tell, I REALLY love mah new trees*
*sigh*
I know, is pretty, right?
Cross your fingers.
**ps…I was told that calling Girl Scouts “brats” was offensive…so I have gently reworded. I’m very sorry if I offended anyone that is the parent of a Girl Scout and for any future Girl Scout troop leaders that might come into contact with my daughters. They cannot be held accountable for their mother’s stupidity. Please forgive.”

Beautiful property! In Toronto, our houses are on top of each other, we don’t know from lots of land. Love the sloped ceilings too- good luck!

Hi, your blog is really lovely. I’d love for you to share your experience with our mom readers. Please check out our site at http://momaroo.com.

Good luck, but I must say that calling Girl Scouts brats is a bit offensive. I am sure you knew that someday you would say something that bothered somebody.
on Mar 27th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Yeah, might have been a really careless choice of word…especially as I have two little girls who are about to go bonkers to join when we move. So, I will change it, not for you, but because I don’t “generally” go around calling kids that don’t belong to me brats.
Thanks for calling me on it.

Very cool. Love the trees. It’s weird for me to see air conditioners/swamp coolers in windows. It’s not the Vegas norm, as you can imagine. :p
