It is official. My mother no longer owns 1504 Wild Rose Way. My parents purchased this property in 1986. Since then, my family lived there (as a unit), my dad lived there with my sister, then my dad lived there, then we tried to sell (and couldn't), then we rented it out. Finally, my mom and I lived there from 1998 untill now. Last year, my father forced my mother and I to buy him out. It was a huge pain in the ass. But, we did. Now, this house that has been my home for so many years, … [Read more...]
Secret Pals…

2005
So, I've decided to do Secret Pals. I've never done one before, and I am really excited. Hell, maybe it will make me want to blog more. You never know. Now, I just have to keep on the ball. I don't think that will be hard, and it gives me a reason to want to be on the internet. However, I'm a bit miffed at myself. I wanted to do the one on the Knitty Coffeeshop, but I was a loser. I checked right before the posted the questions, and then remembered again today. Thus, I missed it. … [Read more...]
Is Prince Harry just st-OO-pid?
Jan

2005
So, this intrigued me this morning as I was getting ready... Katie Couric says something like "Prince Harry wore a Nazi costume to a party" and thus I had to sit down and watch. I think of the two princes, Harry is cuter (it's a red hair thing). So when I hear something about him, I just listen/watch. You know, the cute thing and all. Then they show this picture from The Sun and I'm thinking, is this kid just looking for trouble, or is he just stOOpid? Come on, you have no idea what to … [Read more...]

You know... I checked my site today, and it's blank. Can you believe it? I can. That is exactally how I feel. That isn't to say that there isn't stuff going on. There is. My house closes next Wednesday, the 19th. The house we purchased last week closes on the 26th. I have 3 weeks from the time I close to move into my new house. I got pulled over for a DUI. Yes, I know. I don't drink. I got pulled over anyway. The officer didn't smell anything and let me go. I thought it was funny … [Read more...]

(click image for a bigger view) Now, hopefully those of you on the Christmas Card exchange list have already recieved this. If you haven't, I sent out a few more today. Next year, when you see my button, don't be afraid, just TRADE! And, for those of you who are curious about the little girl in the picture... That's me, circa 1972. I had just been hit in the face with a snowball. And, yes, it's true. I'm crying, not laughing. If you are interested in the playlist, just look in the … [Read more...]

So, I'm sick again. I was sick on my birthday, and now I've got the same damn cold less than two weeks later. What is that crap. As it is, I had a hissey fit on Thursday night and called in sick because I couldn't stop crying on Friday. Saturday, I looked at crap houses when I should have been resting and drinking lots of juice. Sunday, I went shopping with Andrea & Tabitha instead of resting and drinking lots of juice. I ended up passing out on Chris and Andrea's couch for most of Sunday … [Read more...]

It's been a crazy, crazy week. Crazy. My house is now officially on the market. I'm a bit freaked about it. Wait, I'm a lot freaked about it. Before I went to DisneyLand, I went and looked at this house. I thought it could be perfect and suggested that we bid on the property. Monday night we were given the bad news. We bid $620,000 with $5,000 cash to move in before the close of escrow. We thought that was a very good bid. NOT. This house had 18 bids. 18. 3 of which were over … [Read more...]

First... I had a few surprises. Susanna sent me the cutest card with a cat drinking champange. I think that British cards are so much more fun than American cards. Then on Monday, the fifth season of Sex in the City arrived in my mail box! Can you believe it! Susanna sent me a present! That was the coolest thing. I was shocked and excited and I just love it! I can't thank her enough. Nikki made the most beautiful pink bead and star earrings for me. Two pair and a bracelet. She is … [Read more...]
