Decluttering Victory!
I got my bedroom mostly done! See Pictures!
“I don’t think…”
I saw someone type in a chat “my messages aren’t working, it doesn’t seem”… and I hear people say, “It isn’t working, I don’t think” and things similar. I hear myself say “I don’t think…” too often. Now, really. When I’m saying something like that, I’m saying what I DO think, not what I DON’T think. It would be more […]
Weird dream…
I dreamed we were at this Bible school thing of some kind. There was a big dormitory building that had a big multi-unit bathroom and several dorm rooms for two people each. I was in a room directly across from the bathroom.At one point, I was in the bathroom and it was flooded and the bottom of my skirt got […]
Weird dream…
I dreamed this morning that I was in some large restaurant/advertising place, and next to me on the wall/table/divider was a bottle marked “Scrumptious Reagent” (if you don’t get the reference, see Kingdom of Loathing) and I asked the guy who worked there how much it was, and he said there were 20 servings in it, and the whole bottle […]
Went to the dentist this morning
and had one temporary filling, one permanent filling, and one partial root canal. Ugh. After that, Robby was going to change out the oil pump on the 15-passenger van, but was unable to get to it (he’d have to drop the transmission)… so that will have to wait until we can afford to do it. Bummer.
Yesterday
We cleaned out our white minivan thoroughly, to take it over to Decatur to get a new engine put in. We drove both vehicles to Huntsville, where the blue 15-passenger van’s oil pump gave up. We pulled into a Taco Bell parking lot, and had a snack while waiting for my mom-in-law (on her birthday, no less!) to come up […]
Rambles
I think it’s time to henna my hair again; it’s starting to have a little bit of non-red-coated root showing. We have thus far been unable to find a house in our price range that isn’t either falling down on itself or un-re-sellable. I did have the thought that – if we are forced to stay here too long – […]
Well.
So, we are not moving; we’re still looking; only God knows when/if we’ll get something larger. Meanwhile, things are going along as normal. We’re planning a big camping trip, which should be fun. Not much to say this morning. Maybe later.
More musings.
We spent all day long driving around town (5 hours), looking for houses for sale. We have asked, but not yet received… sought, but not yet found… knocked, but the door has not yet been opened unto us. Sigh.
Interesting development…
The little house I mentioned last night was a For Sale By Owner. This morning she called and said she changed her mind about selling. I cannot describe the relief I felt at that statement! Sometimes, I like things being taken out of my hands, as it were… so we are still looking. Robby remembered this morning about someone who […]
Musings…
I can’t help but wonder why? Why did God allow us to look at – and fall in love with – a dwellingplace that appeared to be perfect for us… one that had things arranged in a way that we liked and would enjoy… and then YANK it out from under us? Was it to teach us to be content […]
We’re not getting the doublewide.
Nobody will do an appraisal, so we can’t get a 100% loan, and we can’t afford a downpayment. Such is life.
The other night,
when Nate thought I was sleeping, he laid down next to me and said,“Dear God, Please help my toe feel better, and…” some other things I can’t remember now, and “help us get that new house. In Jesus Name, Amen.”It was so sweet! I had a dentist appointment yesterday morning. I was hoping for a filling but ended up with […]
Today’s our anniversary!
13 years ago today, Robert & I were joined in Holy Matrimony. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, and yet it seems like it’s been forever.
What a day I had today :)
My friends’ son had his seventh birthday today. It was great fun! We went to their mom’s house for hamburgers, hot dogs, cake & ice cream, and the kids broke a piñata, and he opened presents, and it was so much fun 🙂 Also there was my friend’s sister, who is foster parent to a sweet little baby girl, who […]
Things are currently stalled.
We’re waiting, waiting, waiting. Need the appraisal – waiting. Need the seller to agree to terms – waiting. Need the loan – waiting. Need the downpayment – waiting. Ugh.
We made an offer.
We THEORETICALLY will know this evening (around 6pm) whether the offer is acceptable to the seller or not.
Weird dream…
I dreamed we were moving into an apartment in a big building and the door opened on a long hill that led down to the parking lot. We had a van parked about halfway up the hill on a more-or-less flat area (although at one point it seemed like the ground for miles around the van was flat – one […]
